FAQs

What type of solvent cement should I use?

Use solvent cement specifically designed for PVC-U pipes and fittings, such as FloPlast SC250.

Can I reuse a Boss Adaptor?

No, once solvent-welded, the joint is permanent. It's not designed to be reused.

What is the operating temperature range?

The FloPlast Boss Adaptor is suitable for high-temperature waste discharge applications; however, always refer to the specific solvent cement specifications.

What size pipe does the adaptor connect to?

The adaptor connects to 43mm (1 1/2 inch) solvent weld pipe or fittings.

Can I use this adaptor with different brands of pipe?

Yes, as long as the other pipes and fittings are compatible with 43mm solvent weld and PVC-U material.

How do I ensure a good seal?

Apply solvent cement evenly to both surfaces and insert the pipe fully into the adaptor. Hold firmly until set.

What if the joint leaks after curing?

The joint will need to be cut out and redone. Ensure proper solvent cement application and alignment.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation.

Ensure sufficient solvent cement was applied. Check for gaps or misalignments. Replace the joint, carefully following the solvent welding procedure.

Difficulty inserting the pipe into the adaptor.

Make sure the pipe and adaptor are the correct sizes. Clean any burrs or obstructions. Use appropriate force while ensuring proper alignment.

Slow drainage.

Check for blockages in the pipework. Ensure the pipe is properly aligned and has the correct slope for drainage. Clear any obstructions in the system.

The adaptor doesn't fit into the fitting.

Confirm that you have the correct size and type of adaptor and fitting. Clean any debris from the fitting's socket. Try a different adaptor or fitting.
