FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this fitting can handle?
The Wavin Osma Push-fit Waste system is suitable for intermittent discharges of water up to 90°C.
Can I use solvent cement with this fitting?
No, this is a push-fit system designed for quick assembly without solvent cement. Using solvent cement can damage the fitting and void its performance.
What is the correct pipe size for this knuckle bend?
This specific knuckle bend is for 32mm diameter waste pipe.
Can this fitting be used for hot and cold water supply lines?
No, this fitting is specifically designed for waste water drainage systems and is not suitable for pressurized hot or cold water supply lines.
How do I ensure a leak-proof seal?
Ensure the pipe is cut square, clean, and properly deburred. Lubricate the pipe end and socket, then push the pipe firmly and squarely into the socket until it reaches the maximum insertion depth.
What does Kitemarked to BS EN 1451-1:2000 mean?
This certification indicates that the product has been independently tested and meets the rigorous quality and safety standards set out in the relevant British and European standard for waste water systems.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the push-fit joint
Ensure the pipe is fully and squarely inserted into the socket. Check for dirt or debris in the socket and on the pipe end. Re-lubricate and re-insert the pipe. Verify the pipe is not damaged or deformed.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Ensure the pipe is cut square and deburred. Use appropriate lubrication (silicone-based or water). Check that the pipe is the correct diameter for the fitting.
Fitting does not seem secure
The push-fit system relies on the internal seal compressing when the pipe is fully inserted. Ensure the pipe has reached the maximum insertion depth and is held firmly. If there's excessive movement, re-check pipe insertion and condition.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Extremely fast and easy to install due to push-fit technology.
Reduces labor time and associated site costs.
Durable and long-lasting due to robust polypropylene material.
Reliable performance with Kitemark certification.
Versatile for various domestic waste applications, including intermittent hot water.
Cons
Requires ensuring the pipe is fully inserted for a secure, leak-free joint.
May be less suitable for applications requiring extensive flexibility compared to solvent weld systems.
Specific to waste systems, not intended for pressurized water supply lines.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure the end of the pipe is cut square and clean.
Remove any burrs from the inside and outside of the pipe end.
Mark the insertion depth on the pipe using a depth gauge or tape measure.
Lubricate the push-fit socket and the end of the pipe lightly with silicone lubricant or water (avoid petroleum-based lubricants).
Push the pipe firmly and squarely into the socket until it reaches the marked depth.
Ensure the fitting is fully engaged.
Compatibility:
Compatible with other Wavin Osma Push-fit Waste fittings.
Designed for use with 32mm (or appropriately sized) plain-ended plastic waste pipes.
Suitable for gravity drainage systems.
*Not* suitable for use with pressure systems or solvent weld pipes without appropriate adaptors.
Care:
This system is largely maintenance-free.
Periodically check for any visible leaks around the joints, especially after initial installation.
In case of blockages, use standard drain unblocking methods suitable for plastic pipes, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
