FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a solvent weld adhesive specifically designed for ABS plastic pipes. Ensure the adhesive is compatible with potable water systems if applicable.
Can this pipe be used outdoors?
While ABS is durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may degrade the material. It's best used in sheltered locations.
How do I cut the pipe?
Use a fine-tooth saw or pipe cutter designed for plastic pipes. Ensure a clean, straight cut.
What is the lifespan of the pipe?
With proper installation and care, the FloPlast waste pipe can last for many years.
Is the pipe suitable for hot water?
The pipe can handle hot water, but avoid excessively high temperatures. Check the manufacturer's temperature guidelines.
How do I connect the pipe to existing fittings?
Use compatible solvent weld fittings. Clean both surfaces, apply adhesive, and insert the pipe into the fitting.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the joints
Check the solvent weld connection. Ensure enough adhesive was used, and the joint has fully cured. Re-apply adhesive if necessary.
Pipe blockage
Use a plumbing snake or plunger to clear the blockage. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
