FAQs

What size pipe does this connector fit?

The FloPlast Push Fit Waste Tank Connector is designed for use with 32mm pipes.

What material is the connector made of?

The connector is made of grey Polypropylene.

Is the connector suitable for use with potable water?

This connector is designed for waste water applications and is not recommended for potable water.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Make sure the pipe is cut squarely and free from burrs. Ensure the O-ring is properly seated, and the nut is tightened securely. Allow for expansion by withdrawing the pipe by approximately 10mm after insertion.

Can I reuse the connector if I take it apart?

Yes, but always inspect the O-ring before reassembling to ensure it is in good condition and correctly positioned.

Where is this connector manufactured?

This push fit waste system is manufactured in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Joint Leaks

Check the O-ring in the fitting and ensure it is properly seated and undamaged. Re-tighten the nut and check for a secure seal. Ensure the pipe is inserted correctly and withdrawn by approximately 10mm.

Difficulty Connecting Pipe

Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and free of burrs. Use a lubricant suitable for plastic pipes to ease insertion. If necessary, slightly warm the pipe end to make it more pliable.
