FAQs

What size pipes does this connector fit?

This connector fits 32mm ABS pipes and connects to 35mm chrome plated brass compression fittings.

What is the purpose of the rubber washers?

The rubber washers help to create a tight seal between the compression nut and the ABS pipe.

Can I use this connector with other brands of fittings?

Yes, it is compatible with a wide range of pipes and fittings.

How do I know if I've tightened the compression nut enough?

Tighten the nut until it feels snug and a watertight seal is achieved. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the fitting.

What should I do if the connection still leaks after tightening?

Disassemble the connection, check the olive and washers for any damage. Reassemble the connection, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned and tightened.

Is this connector suitable for high-pressure applications?

This connector is designed for standard plumbing and waste applications and is not recommended for high-pressure systems.

Where can I buy this connector?

This product is available at most plumbing supply stores and online retailers.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the compression fitting.

Tighten the compression nut. If the leak persists, disassemble the fitting, check the olive and washers for damage, and reassemble.

Solvent weld joint is not sealing.

Ensure that the ABS pipe is fully inserted into the connector. Check that the solvent weld has been applied correctly and is fully cured. If necessary, cut the pipe and redo the joint.

Assemble the Compression Fitting: Place the olive and tighten the compression nut onto the chrome plated brass pipe.
