What are the materials used in this product?
The fittings are manufactured in ABS and the pipe in PVC-U.
Can I use this with other brands of solvent weld pipe?
While it is designed for Wavin Osma systems, it should be compatible with other PVC-U solvent weld pipes of the correct diameter, provided they meet relevant standards.
Troubleshooting
Joint not sealing properly
Ensure surfaces were clean and dry before applying solvent cement. Re-cut pipe if necessary and re-apply cement, ensuring a firm, immediate connection.
Difficulty connecting pipe to fitting
Check for any debris or obstructions inside the fitting socket or on the pipe end. Ensure correct pipe size is being used.
Leak at the joint
The joint may not have been held firmly during the initial set or insufficient solvent cement was used. The joint will need to be cut out and remade.
