FAQs

What materials is this elbow compatible with?

The MS4-32Solvent elbow is compatible with a range of waste pipe materials, including plastic, copper, and lead.

What is the primary purpose of this elbow?

This elbow is used to change the direction of waste pipes by 90 degrees in a plumbing system.

What type of connection does this fitting use?

This fitting uses a solvent weld connection, which requires the use of solvent cement to create a secure, watertight bond.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Use the correct solvent cement and apply it evenly to both the pipe and the fitting, ensuring a snug fit. Allow adequate curing time.

Can I adjust the fitting after it's installed?

No, because the connection is solvent-welded, it creates a permanent joint that cannot be easily adjusted once the cement has set.

What should I do if the fitting is leaking?

Turn off the water supply, remove the fitting, clean the area, and reapply solvent cement following all installation instructions. If the problem persists, consult a professional plumber.

Where can I find spare parts?

Full range of spare parts and accessories are available on The Plumbers Mate.

Is professional installation recommended?

While the MS4-32Solvent is designed for ease of installation, if you are not experienced with plumbing, it is recommended that you consult with a professional plumber for assistance.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the joint after installation.

Ensure proper application of solvent cement and allow adequate curing time. Check for any gaps or insufficient sealing and re-apply solvent cement if necessary.

Difficulty in inserting the pipe into the fitting.

Ensure the pipe and fitting are the correct size and free from obstructions. Use a pipe cutter to ensure a clean, smooth edge. If necessary, lightly sand the pipe end.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the waste pipes are clean, dry, and free of debris.
