Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the ends of the pipes to be joined are clean, dry, and free from burrs.
- Mark the insertion depth on the pipe spigot using a marker.
- Push the pipe firmly and squarely into the knuckle bend fitting until it reaches the insertion mark. Ensure the pipe is fully seated.
- Repeat for the other end of the knuckle bend.
Compatibility:
This fitting is designed to be used with other components within the Polypipe Waste Systems range. It is crucial to ensure that all connected pipes and fittings are compatible push-fit waste system components to guarantee a secure and watertight seal. Do not attempt to connect this fitting to solvent weld systems or non-standard piping without appropriate adaptors.
Care:
- Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage, especially if there have been significant temperature fluctuations or system disturbances.
- Clean the exterior of the fitting with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the polypropylene.
- No internal maintenance is typically required beyond standard drain cleaning practices for the entire waste system.
