FAQs

What is the primary function of the ring seal socket?

The ring seal socket provides a flexible, push-fit connection that incorporates a captive seal to prevent leaks and accommodate thermal movement. It is designed for a secure and easy joint.

Can I use this coupler with other brands of pipe?

This coupler is specifically designed for the Wavin OsmaSoil 110mm system. While it may fit other 110mm pipes, compatibility and performance are only guaranteed with genuine OsmaSoil components.

What type of lubricant should I use for the push-fit joint?

A silicone-based lubricant or a mild soap solution is recommended. Avoid petroleum-based lubricants, as they can degrade the rubber seal over time.

How long does the solvent weld joint take to cure?

Cure times vary depending on the specific solvent cement used and ambient temperature. Always refer to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for accurate curing and handling times. Typically, initial set is a few minutes, but full strength takes longer.

Is this socket suitable for underground use?

The Wavin OsmaSoil system, including this coupler, is suitable for use in underground drainage applications when installed correctly according to plumbing regulations and best practices.

What does 'captive seal technology' mean?

Captive seal technology means the rubber seal within the push-fit socket is designed to stay securely in place during installation, preventing it from becoming dislodged, which could lead to a faulty joint.

What is the standard this product is certified to?

This product is Kitemarked to BS EN 1329-1:2000, which is the European standard for pipe and fittings made of unplasticised polyviny chloride (PVC-U) for soil and drainpipe applications.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the push-fit ring seal socket

Ensure the pipe was pushed fully and squarely into the socket. Check that the captive seal is correctly seated and not damaged. Re-lubricate and re-insert the pipe, ensuring it's pushed fully home.

Leak at the solvent weld socket

The joint may not have been properly made. Check if the pipe was fully inserted and held during the initial curing period. For permanent leaks, the joint may need to be cut out and remade.

Difficulty inserting pipe into push-fit socket

Ensure the pipe end and the inside of the socket are clean and adequately lubricated with a suitable lubricant. Apply firm, steady pressure. Do not force the pipe; if resistance is high, re-check for obstructions.

Solvent weld joint fails to bond

Verify that the correct PVC-U primer and solvent cement were used and applied in the correct sequence. Ensure adequate solvent cement was applied to both surfaces and that the pipe was held during the initial set time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers versatile connection options with both solvent weld and push-fit sockets.
  • Captive seal technology in the ring-seal socket prevents seal dislodging.
  • Allows for thermal expansion and contraction within the pipework.
  • Durable PVC-U material ensures longevity and resistance to waste materials.
  • Kitemarked for quality assurance and compliance with industry standards.

Cons

  • Requires specific solvent cement for solvent weld connections, which is a separate purchase.
  • The push-fit socket requires adequate lubrication for smooth assembly.
  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications; designed for gravity-fed waste systems.
  • The grey colour may not match all existing plumbing aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure the ends of the pipes or fittings to be joined are clean, dry, and free from damage. If using the solvent weld socket, ensure you have the correct PVC-U solvent cement and primer.
  2. Solvent Weld Joint: Apply primer to both the pipe end and the inside of the solvent weld socket. Follow immediately with solvent cement. Insert the pipe fully into the socket with a slight twisting motion and hold for 30 seconds to prevent 'push-out'. Allow the joint to cure as per the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Push-Fit Joint: Lightly lubricate the spigot end of the pipe and the inside of the ring seal socket with a silicone-based lubricant or soap solution. Push the pipe firmly and squarely into the socket until it reaches the internal stop. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted for a secure seal.

Compatibility

  • This coupler is designed for use with the Wavin OsmaSoil PVC-U soil and waste system.
  • It is compatible with 110mm plain-ended pipes and fittings within the OsmaSoil range.
  • Ensure that any solvent cement used is specifically formulated for PVC-U pipe joining.

Care

  • The OsmaSoil system is designed for gravity-fed waste systems and does not require regular maintenance.
  • Avoid introducing harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents directly into the waste system, as these could potentially degrade the PVC-U over time.
  • Periodically check visible joints for any signs of leakage, although the captive seal technology minimizes this risk.
