FAQs
What is the primary advantage of using solvent weld joints?
Solvent weld joints create a permanent, strong, and watertight seal, which is crucial for reliable waste disposal systems and preventing leaks.
Can this pipe be used for hot water waste?

Do I need to buy solvent cement separately?
Yes, Wavin OsmaWeld solvent weld cement is required for installation and must be purchased separately.
What size fittings are compatible with this pipe?
This 40mm pipe is compatible with Wavin OsmaWeld fittings designed for 40mm pipe diameters.
Can I disassemble a solvent weld joint if needed?
No, solvent weld joints are permanent and cannot be easily disassembled once the solvent has cured.
Is this pipe suitable for drinking water?

Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking
Ensure correct application of solvent weld cement to both surfaces and that the pipe was fully inserted into the fitting. Re-cutting and re-joining may be necessary if the initial joint was compromised.
Pipe does not fit snugly into fitting
Verify that you are using the correct size (40mm) OsmaWeld fitting. Check for any obstructions or damage to the pipe end or fitting socket.
Solvent weld cement not bonding
Confirm that the surfaces were clean and dry before applying the cement. Ensure the correct type of solvent weld cement for ABS pipes is used and that it has not expired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the pipe ends and the inside of the fitting spigot are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.

- Apply an even coat of Wavin OsmaWeld solvent weld cement to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting.
- Immediately push the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion until it reaches the stop. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent joint push-out.
- Allow adequate time for the joint to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions before pressurizing the system.
