FAQs

What is solvent weld?

Solvent welding uses a chemical solvent to fuse plastic pipes and fittings together, creating a permanent, watertight seal.

What size pipe is right for my application?

50mm waste pipes are commonly used for commercial applications or where a number of waste pipes come together in a single flow.

Can I adjust the joint after it has been made?

No, solvent weld joints are permanent and cannot be disassembled once the joint has set.

What safety precautions should I take when using solvent cement?

Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep solvent cement away from heat sources or naked flames.

How long should I wait before using the drain?

Allow the solvent weld joint to set for 5 minutes and wait 12 hours before testing.

What is the life expectancy of this waste pipe?

With proper installation and care, the FloPlast 50mm waste pipe can last for many years due to the durability of ABS plastic.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation.

Ensure the pipe was fully inserted and twisted during the solvent welding process. If the leak persists, the joint may need to be cut out and redone.

Solvent cement is not bonding.

Make sure that you are using the correct solvent cement for ABS pipes. Ensure both surfaces are clean and that the cement is fresh.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting.

Ensure both pipe and fitting are the correct size (50mm). Ensure that the surfaces are clean and that the solvent cement has been applied generously.
