FAQs

What is the main purpose of Wavin OsmaWeld Plain Ended Pipe?

Its main purpose is to form secure, permanent joints in waste drainage systems using solvent weld technology, suitable for both domestic and commercial applications.

What type of fittings is this pipe compatible with?

This pipe is designed to be used with Wavin OsmaWeld solvent weld fittings. It is available in 32mm and 50mm sizes and is compatible with other 32mm pipe sizes within the OsmaWeld system.

Can this pipe be used for hot water?

Yes, it can handle constant temperatures of 60°C and intermittent discharges up to 90°C. It is primarily for waste water disposal.

What is required to join this pipe?

You will need Wavin OsmaWeld solvent weld cement and primer (if recommended by the cement manufacturer) to create a secure joint with compatible fittings.

Is this pipe suitable for underground drainage?

While durable, this pipe is primarily designed for above-ground solvent weld waste systems. For underground drainage, specific underground drainage systems and jointing methods are typically recommended.

What does 'Kitemarked to BS EN 1455-1:2000' mean?

This certification indicates that the pipe has been independently tested and meets the stringent quality and safety requirements of the British Standard for waste water systems made of plastic piping systems.

How long is the pipe?

This specific product is a 3-meter length pipe.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation

Ensure the correct solvent weld cement was used and applied properly. Re-cut pipe and fitting, clean, and re-joint following instructions. Check that the pipe was fully inserted into the fitting socket.

Pipe is difficult to insert into fitting

Verify that you are using the correct size fitting and that both the pipe end and fitting socket are clean and free from obstructions. Ensure adequate solvent cement has been applied, as it acts as a lubricant.

Poor flow rate in the waste system

Check for blockages within the pipe or fittings. Ensure the system has adequate fall (gradient) as per plumbing regulations. Inspect joints for any internal protrusions.

Pipe discoloration or degradation

Ensure the pipe is not exposed to temperatures exceeding its operational limits (constant 60°C, intermittent 90°C) or incompatible chemicals. Check for external damage.
