Product Information
Full details
This Wavin Osma Waste 30 Degree Bend is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to create a 30-degree change in direction for 40mm waste pipe systems. Its key benefit is the quick and efficient push-fit jointing, significantly saving time and reducing site costs compared to traditional solvent weld or compression fittings. A minor caveat is its specific 30-degree angle, meaning it's not suitable for other degrees of bends.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the push-fit system?
The primary advantage is the speed and ease of installation. It requires no solvent cement or special tools, saving significant time and labor costs.
Can I use this bend with standard PVC waste pipes?
This fitting is designed for the Wavin Osma Waste push-fit system. While it might fit loosely onto some standard PVC pipes, it is recommended to use it with other Osma Waste components for a secure, leak-free connection as per the product's design and standards.
What is the angle of this bend?
This specific bend is designed to create a 30-degree change in direction.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
Ensure the pipe is pushed firmly and fully into the socket until it is completely seated. The internal ring seal creates the watertight connection.
What maintenance does the Osma Waste system require?
The system is virtually maintenance-free. Occasional checks for leaks at the joints are recommended.
What does Kitemarked to BS EN 1451-1:2000 mean?
This certification indicates that the product has been tested and meets the stringent quality and performance requirements set by British and European standards for plastic piping systems for soil, waste, and drain systems.
Can I adjust the angle after installation?
Once pushed together, the joint is permanent. To change the angle, the fitting would need to be disconnected (which may require a specific pipe release tool) and reassembled, or a different angle fitting used.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pushing pipe into socket
Ensure the pipe end and socket are clean, dry, and free from debris. Lightly chamfer the edge of the pipe spigot if necessary. Ensure you are using the correct size pipe and fitting.
Leak at the joint
Check that the pipe is fully inserted into the socket. Ensure the ring seal is correctly seated and undamaged. If the issue persists, disconnect and reassemble the joint, ensuring the pipe end is clean and the seal is intact.
Fitting does not feel secure
Verify that the pipe is inserted to the full depth of the socket. The push-fit system relies on full engagement for a secure connection. Check for any obstructions within the socket.

- Potential for damage if subjected to excessive force during assembly.
- May require specific Osma Waste pipes for optimal compatibility.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the pipe ends are clean, dry, and free from burrs. A pipe cutter is recommended for a clean cut.
- Mark the insertion depth on the spigot end if required for a consistent fit.
- Firmly push the spigot end of the pipe into the socket of the bend until it is fully seated.
- For the socket end, push the spigot end of the next pipe fitting into the socket until fully seated.
