FAQs

What is the primary material of this adaptor?

The adaptor is made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-U), which offers resistance to chemical erosion.

What pipe sizes can this adaptor connect to?

It connects to 32mm plastic pipe (BS EN 1451-1/1455-1/566-1) and copper pipe (BS 659 or BS 2871).

Is this adaptor suitable for hot water waste?

This adaptor is part of the Wavin OsmaSoil system designed for soil and sanitary waste removal. It is not typically rated for high-temperature hot water discharge.

What does 'Ringseal' mean?

'Ringseal' refers to the type of joint which uses a rubber ring (or gasket) to create a watertight seal when the pipe is inserted.

What is the advantage of the captive seal technology?

The captive seal ensures a secure and leak-resistant connection by keeping the seal in place during installation and use.

Does this adaptor have a slope for drainage?

Horizontal adaptors in this range feature an inbuilt 2.5° fall to promote efficient drainage.

Can I use this adaptor with any soil pipe system?

It is designed for Wavin OsmaSoil systems and specifically compatible with fittings having boss socket positions and pipes meeting the specified standards. Always check compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting pipe into socket

Ensure pipe ends and socket interior are clean and free from obstructions. A small amount of silicone lubricant can aid insertion if necessary, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.

Leak at the joint

Check that the pipe is fully inserted and the seal is correctly seated. If a solvent weld was used, ensure proper application of primer and cement, and sufficient bonding time. Re-make the joint if necessary.

Pipe not securely held

Verify that the pipe being connected is of the correct diameter and standard specified for this adaptor. Ensure the ring seal is properly in place and undamaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and chemically resistant PVC-U material.
  • Secure and leak-proof connection technology.
  • Adaptable for use in restricted installation areas.
  • Designed to facilitate proper drainage with an integrated fall.
  • Kitemarked for quality assurance to BS EN 1329-1:2000 standards.

Cons

  • Specific connection size (32mm) limits versatility.
  • Requires verification of compatibility with existing pipe materials.
  • Primarily designed for soil and waste systems, not general plumbing.
  • May require specific primer and solvent cement for solvent weld joints if not using push-fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the ends of the pipes to be connected are clean and free from debris. For push-fit connections, simply insert the pipe into the socket until fully seated. For solvent weld joints (if applicable), apply appropriate PVC primer and then solvent cement to both surfaces before joining, holding them together for the recommended time.

Compatibility: This adaptor is designed to connect to 32mm plastic pipe conforming to BS EN 1451-1, BS EN 1455-1, or BS EN 566-1. It can also connect to copper pipe manufactured to BS 659 or BS 2871. Always verify that your existing pipework meets these standards before attempting a connection. It is suitable for use with all Wavin OsmaSoil fittings that have boss socket positions.

Care: The PVC-U material is low maintenance. Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks or damage. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.
