Polypipe Soil Solvent Boss Adaptor - 40mm - White

This adaptor is designed exclusively for use with 40mm ABS and MUPVC soil and vent pipes.

You will need a pipe cutter, fine sandpaper or abrasive cloth, and a suitable solvent cement specifically for ABS/MUPVC. No specialized power tools are typically required.

Curing times vary depending on the specific solvent cement used and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity). Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the solvent cement for precise drying and full cure times before stressing the joint.

Yes, it is suitable for residential plumbing and domestic drainage applications, including waste pipes from sanitary fixtures like sinks and showers, provided they are ABS or MUPVC.

Solvent welding is a process where a solvent cement is applied to two plastic surfaces. The solvent temporarily dissolves the surface of the plastic, and when the parts are pushed together, the dissolved surfaces fuse as the solvent evaporates, creating a single, strong piece of plastic.

While functional, for exposed external installations, consider UV protection or alternative fittings if long-term UV exposure is a concern, as prolonged sunlight can degrade plastic.

The part number is SW81W.

This typically indicates insufficient or uneven application of solvent cement, or the joint was disturbed before curing. The joint may need to be cut out and re-made, ensuring proper surface preparation, application of solvent, and adequate holding time.

Check for obstructions inside the adaptor or on the pipe end. Ensure the pipe has not been deformed. Lightly re-clean and re-prepare the surfaces if necessary.

Verify that you are using a solvent cement specifically designed for ABS/MUPVC pipes. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry, and that the correct amount of solvent cement has been applied. Check the expiry date of the solvent cement.
