FAQs

What is the primary material of the tank connector?

The tank connector is made from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).

What size pipe is this connector designed for?

This connector is designed for 40mm pipes.

What type of connection does this connector use?

It uses a solvent weld connection.

Is solvent cement included with the connector?

No, you must purchase SC250 solvent cement separately.

How long should I wait before testing the installation?

Wait 12 hours after the joint has been made before testing.

Can I disassemble a solvent weld joint?

No, solvent weld joints are permanent and cannot be disassembled once made.

What should I do if the joint leaks?

Inspect the joint and, if necessary, remake it following the proper solvent welding procedure.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the joint

Ensure the solvent weld joint was properly made. Check for any gaps or insufficient application of solvent cement. If necessary, replace the connector and remake the joint following the installation instructions.

Connector won't fit through the tank hole

Verify the hole size meets the connector's requirements. Enlarge the hole if necessary, but ensure it's not too large to compromise the seal.

Solvent weld joint appears weak or cracked

Remake the joint following the correct procedure. Ensure the surfaces were clean, sufficient solvent cement was used, and the joint was allowed to set properly.
