FAQs
What is the primary use of the Wavin OsmaSoil 110mm Ringseal Single Socket Bend?
It is designed for above-ground sanitary waste drainage, carrying waste from domestic, commercial, and industrial installations. It is not intended for rainwater harvesting.
How does the captive seal technology work?
The captive seal is designed to remain securely in place within the socket during installation, preventing it from becoming dislodged and ensuring a watertight connection when the pipe is pushed in.
Can I use this bend with solvent weld systems?
Yes, the system supports both push-fit and solvent weld joints. For solvent weld, ensure you use appropriate PVC-U solvent cement and primer according to manufacturer guidelines.
What kind of chemicals is this bend resistant to?
It is resistant to most common household acids, alkalis, bleaches, and detergents, making it suitable for typical sanitary waste.
Is this product certified?

What is the angle of the bend?
The bend is 87.5 degrees, which is slightly less than a right angle, providing a smoother flow path compared to a standard 90-degree bend.
Troubleshooting
Push-fit joint leaks after installation
Ensure the pipe was fully inserted into the socket and the captive seal is correctly seated. Check the pipe end for damage or debris. If the issue persists, disassemble, clean, and reassemble, or consider using solvent weld for a permanent bond.
Difficulty inserting pipe into socket
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or approved pipe lubricant to the plain end of the pipe. Ensure the socket is clean and free of obstructions. Do not force the pipe excessively, as this could damage the seal.
