FAQs

What type of pipe is this solvent cement for?

This solvent cement is specifically designed for Wavin OsmaSoil PVC-U pipes and fittings used in sanitary waste, soil, and ventilation systems.

How many joints can I make with one container?

The container is sufficient for approximately 5 joints of 110mm pipe, depending on the application technique and pipe/fitting sizes.

Can I use this on different brands of PVC-U pipe?

While it may bond other PVC-U pipes, it is optimized for Wavin OsmaSoil products to ensure the best performance and integrity. Using it on other brands may affect joint strength and seal.

What safety precautions should I take when using this product?

Always use in a well-ventilated area, wear gloves and eye protection, and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from open flames and sparks.

Is this product suitable for hot water pipes?

No, this solvent cement is intended for cold sanitary waste, soil, and ventilation systems. It is not designed for hot water applications.

How long does the joint need to set before it's safe to use?

Setting times vary based on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific guidelines on handling and full cure times.

Can I collect this item in person?

Yes, collection is possible, but please be aware that this is an age-restricted item, and ID will be required upon collection.

Troubleshooting

Joint appears to be leaking after setting.

Ensure pipes were clean, dry, and free from grease before application. Verify that the pipes were fully inserted and held correctly during the setting period. For permanent leaks, the joint may need to be cut out and remade.

Solvent cement is drying too quickly.

This can happen in warm conditions. Work more quickly, applying cement to one surface at a time and joining immediately. Ensure adequate ventilation without creating a strong draft.

Difficulty pushing pipe into socket.

Check for obstructions in the socket or on the spigot. Ensure no excess cement has built up. A small amount of primer (if recommended for the specific system) can sometimes help, but ensure it is compatible.

  3. Immediately push the pipe into the socket as far as it will go.
  4. Give a quarter-turn twist to spread the cement evenly.
  5. Hold the joint firmly for 30 seconds to prevent movement.
