Product Information
Full details
This Wavin OsmaWeld Level Invert Reducer is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to connect 32mm waste pipes to 40mm systems. Its key benefit is providing a secure and efficient solvent weld joint, saving time and cost in plumbing installations. A potential caveat is its specific use with ABS solvent weld waste systems.

FAQs
What material is the Wavin OsmaWeld Level Invert Reducer made from?
It is manufactured from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a durable plastic suitable for waste systems.
Can this reducer be used with push-fit or compression fittings?
No, this reducer is specifically designed for ABS solvent weld systems and requires solvent cement for jointing. It is not compatible with push-fit or compression fittings.
What temperatures can this fitting withstand?
It is suitable for constant use with water up to 60°C and can handle intermittent discharges of water up to 90°C.
What is the purpose of a 'Level Invert Reducer'?
It reduces the pipe diameter from 40mm to 32mm while ensuring the invert (the lowest point of the pipe's internal bore) remains level or consistent across the transition, which is important for flow.
Which solvent cement should I use with this fitting?
You should use a solvent cement specifically designed for ABS solvent weld pipes, such as Wavin OsmaWeld solvent cement, following the manufacturer's application instructions.
Is this product suitable for drainage systems carrying chemicals?
The ABS material is generally resistant to common household waste, but it is not intended for systems carrying aggressive chemicals. Always consult product specifications or Wavin for specific chemical resistance data.
Troubleshooting
Reducer not fitting snugly onto pipe.
Ensure both the pipe and fitting socket are clean and free of obstructions. Verify you are using the correct size pipe (40mm or 32mm) for the respective end of the reducer.
Leak at the solvent weld joint.
Check that sufficient solvent cement was applied to both surfaces and that the joint was held firmly during the initial setting period. Ensure the correct type of ABS solvent cement was used and applied according to its instructions. If a leak occurs, the joint may need to be cut out and redone.
Difficulty pushing pipe into fitting.
Confirm that the pipe end is cut squarely and deburred. Ensure adequate, but not excessive, solvent cement is applied, as this can act as a lubricant. Do not force the pipe; check for any misalignment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a secure and robust connection through solvent welding.
- Efficiently reduces pipe size from 40mm to 32mm, simplifying system design.
- Made from durable ABS material for long-term performance.
- Meets BS EN 1455-1 certification, ensuring quality and compliance.
- Available in multiple colors to match different installations.
Cons
- Requires specific ABS solvent cement for proper jointing.
- Only compatible with other ABS solvent weld waste system components.
- Not suitable for high-pressure applications.
- Limited to specific temperature ranges (constant 60°C, intermittent 90°C).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both the 40mm pipe end and the 32mm pipe end are clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
- Cut pipes squarely and deburr edges.
- Dry fit the reducer to check alignment and fit.
- Apply Wavin OsmaWeld ABS solvent cement evenly to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket.
- Immediately push the pipe into the fitting socket with a slight twisting motion until it bottoms out.
- Hold the joint firmly for approximately 30 seconds to prevent movement while the cement sets.
- Allow the recommended curing time before running water through the system (refer to solvent cement manufacturer's instructions).
Compatibility:
- This reducer is designed for use with Wavin OsmaWeld ABS solvent weld waste pipes and fittings only.
- Ensure all components are from the same system for guaranteed compatibility and performance.
- Suitable for use with 32mm and 40mm ABS waste pipes.
Care:
- The ABS material is generally maintenance-free under normal operating conditions.
- Avoid exposing the joint or pipework to aggressive chemicals or solvents not intended for plumbing waste systems.
- Periodically check for any signs of leakage around joints, although solvent-welded joints are very secure.
