Product Information
Full details
The Wavin OsmaWeld Double Socket is designed for plumbing professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable solvent weld waste system. Its key benefit is the secure, permanent jointing method provided by ABS material, ensuring leak-free connections. A potential consideration is that it requires specific solvent cement for ABS, not suitable for other pipe materials without adaptors. This 40mm white double socket is part of a system offering a wide range of fittings and color options.

FAQs
What is the primary material of this double socket?
The Wavin OsmaWeld Double Socket is manufactured from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).
Can I use this fitting with standard PVC pipes?
No, this is an ABS solvent weld fitting. You must use a specific ABS solvent cement. For connecting to PVC or other materials, use Wavin Universal Connectors (4W/5W/2W102).
What temperature can this waste system handle?
The system is suitable for use with intermittent discharges of water up to 90°C.
Is this product certified?
Yes, it is Kitemarked to BS EN 1455-1:2000, which is the standard for waste water systems within buildings.
What size pipes does this double socket fit?
This double socket is designed for 40mm diameter waste pipes.
How do I ensure a secure joint?
Ensure both pipe and socket surfaces are clean. Apply the correct ABS solvent cement evenly to both surfaces. Insert the pipe fully into the socket with a slight twist and hold firmly for at least 30 seconds to prevent push-out.
What colors are available for the OsmaWeld system?
The Wavin OsmaWeld solvent weld waste system is available in Black, White, and Grey.
Troubleshooting
Joint does not seal or leaks
Ensure the correct ABS solvent cement was used. Verify pipe ends and socket interior were clean and free of debris. Re-cut pipe end and re-apply cement if necessary, ensuring full insertion and proper hold time.
Pipe does not insert fully into socket
Check for obstructions or damage inside the socket or on the pipe end. Ensure the pipe has not deformed. Gently re-round the pipe end if slightly oval.
Solvent cement appears to be drying too quickly
Work in a well-ventilated area. Ensure correct application of cement; apply to both surfaces evenly and quickly. Have all parts ready before applying cement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, ensure pipe ends are clean and de-burred. Apply Wavin solvent cement specifically designed for ABS to both the pipe end and the inside of the socket. Insert the pipe fully into the socket and twist slightly for even distribution of the cement. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent push-out. Allow adequate curing time before use (refer to solvent cement manufacturer's instructions).
Compatibility: This fitting is designed for use with other 40mm ABS solvent weld waste pipes and fittings. For connections to pipes of different materials (e.g., PVC, lead, copper), use Wavin Universal Connectors (4W/5W/2W102).
Care: OsmaWeld systems require minimal maintenance. Periodically check for any signs of leaks at connections. Cleaning the exterior can be done with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the ABS material.
