FAQs

What is Recycore® Technology?

Recycore® Technology is Wavin's process for using a high percentage of recycled material in their products while maintaining the same high performance standards as virgin material.

Can I use this pipe for waste from sinks and showers as well as toilets?

Yes, the Wavin OsmaSoil system is designed for soil, waste, and ventilation, making it suitable for all sanitary waste removal.

What is the difference between push-fit and solvent weld joints?

Push-fit joints use a rubber ring seal for a watertight connection and are generally quicker to install. Solvent weld joints require a primer and cement to create a permanent, fused bond and are often used for more demanding applications or where a permanent seal is critical.

How do I cut the Wavin OsmaSoil pipe?

The pipe can be cut using a fine-toothed handsaw or a pipe cutter. Ensure the cut is square and smooth the edges before making a connection.

What is the expected lifespan of the OsmaSoil pipe?

PVC-U pipes are known for their durability and are designed for a long service life, typically many decades, when installed and maintained correctly.

Is this pipe suitable for underground use?

The Wavin OsmaSoil system is designed for above-ground soil, waste, and ventilation. For underground drainage, Wavin offers specific underground drainage systems.

Where can I find installation instructions for solvent welding?

Detailed instructions for solvent welding, including safety precautions, are typically provided by the solvent cement manufacturer and can also be found in Wavin's technical documentation for the OsmaSoil range.

Troubleshooting

Leak at joint connection

For push-fit joints, ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the ring seal is correctly seated. Re-lubricate and re-insert if necessary. For solvent weld joints, the joint may not have been properly bonded; it may need to be cut out and re-made.

Blockage in the pipe

Use a drain snake or appropriate drain cleaning chemicals suitable for PVC. Ensure no foreign objects have entered the system.

Pipe discoloration or degradation

This is uncommon with PVC-U. Ensure the system is not exposed to excessive UV light or extreme temperatures beyond its operating range. Check for chemical contamination.

Difficulty pushing pipe into socket

Ensure correct lubrication is applied. Check for any obstructions or damage inside the socket or on the spigot end.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting PVC-U material.
  • Extensive range of fittings for various installation needs.
  • Environmentally conscious with Recycore® Technology.
  • Certified to BS EN 1453-1:2000 for quality assurance.
  • Flexible installation with push-fit or solvent weld options.

Cons

  • Requires specific jointing techniques (solvent or push-fit) for effective sealing.
  • Limited color options may not suit all aesthetic requirements.
  • Solvent welding requires ventilation and appropriate safety measures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pipe ends and fittings are clean and free from debris.
  2. For push-fit joints, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spigot end and the inside of the socket. Insert the spigot fully into the socket.
  3. For solvent weld joints, clean both surfaces with PVC cleaner, apply solvent cement evenly to both surfaces, and immediately push the spigot into the socket with a slight twisting motion. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent push-out.
  4. Allow solvent-welded joints to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before testing.

Compatibility:

  • This 110mm PVC-U system is designed to connect with other Wavin OsmaSoil fittings and pipes of the same diameter and material.
  • Ensure compatibility with existing drainage systems if connecting to older installations.

Care:

  • The surface of the pipe can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check joints for any signs of leakage, especially after significant ground movement or system stress.
