The FloPlast ABS Solvent Weld Coupling is ideal for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on domestic or commercial waste water systems. It provides a highly secure, permanent leak-free joint for 32mm pipes, though it requires precise application of solvent weld cement to ensure a successful bond, making it less forgiving than push-fit alternatives.

No, this coupling is strictly for 32mm systems. You would need the 40mm variant for larger pipe diameters.
No. Solvent welding creates a chemical bond that fuses the plastic together, making it a permanent connection.
Yes, you must use a dedicated ABS solvent weld cement designed for waste pipe systems.
Yes, ABS is suitable for outdoor use, though it should be protected from direct sunlight where possible to prevent long-term UV degradation.
Initial set occurs within a few minutes, but it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours for a full, pressure-ready cure.
Usually caused by insufficient solvent application or debris in the joint; ensure surfaces are cleaned and dry before re-applying cement.
Check for plastic burrs or rough edges on the pipe end; use a file or deburring tool to smooth the end before attempting insertion.
To install, first de-burr the pipe end and ensure it is clean and dry. Apply a thin, even coat of ABS solvent cement to both the outside of the pipe and the inside of the coupling socket. Push the pipe into the coupling firmly, using a slight twisting motion to distribute the cement evenly. Hold the pieces in place for 30 seconds to allow the initial bond to set. This coupling is exclusively compatible with FloPlast 32mm solvent weld systems and should not be mixed with push-fit components. For maintenance, periodically inspect joints for signs of stress or improper alignment.
