FAQs

What is the main purpose of this adaptor?

This adaptor is used to create a solvent weld joint, connecting a 32mm Osma welded waste pipe to an OsmaSoil boss socket.

What material is the adaptor made from?

The adaptor is manufactured from PVC-U (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride).

What does 'captive seal technology' mean?

It means the seals within the fitting are designed to remain securely in place during installation, ensuring a highly reliable and leak-free connection.

Can I use this adaptor for potable water pipes?

No, this adaptor is specifically designed for waste pipe applications within the OsmaSoil range and is not suitable for potable water.

Do I need to buy solvent cement separately?

Yes, solvent cement is required for the installation and is typically sold separately. Always use a cement suitable for PVC-U.

What does the keyway feature do?

The keyway is a design feature that helps ensure the correct fall or slope is achieved when installing the waste pipe, which is crucial for proper drainage.

Is this product suitable for DIY installations?

While the product is designed for ease of use, proper installation requires understanding solvent welding techniques. It is generally used by plumbing professionals.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation

Ensure surfaces were clean and dry before applying solvent cement. Verify that sufficient solvent cement was used and the joint was held correctly during the setting period. Check for any cracks or damage to the fitting or pipe.

Pipe does not fit into the socket

Check for any debris or obstruction inside the socket or on the pipe end. Ensure you are using the correct size pipe (32mm) and fitting.

Difficulty achieving correct fall

Utilize the unique keyway feature of the adaptor to guide the pipe to the correct angle. Ensure the support system for the pipework is adequate to maintain the desired slope.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the pipe end and the socket interior are clean and dry.
  2. Apply a suitable solvent cement evenly to both surfaces.
  3. Insert the pipe into the socket with a slight twisting motion until it reaches the stop.
  4. Hold the joint firmly for approximately 30 seconds to prevent movement while the solvent begins to set.
  5. Allow adequate curing time as recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before subjecting the joint to pressure or use.
