This Polypipe WS26B coupling is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to create secure, permanent 40mm ABS waste pipe connections in residential drainage systems. Its primary benefit is the reliable, leak-resistant joint formed through solvent welding. A potential caveat is that solvent welding requires specific adhesive and preparation, making it less forgiving for beginners than push-fit systems. This coupling is made from durable ABS, ensuring long-term performance and compatibility with Polypipe's waste system range for efficient liquid waste removal from various sanitaryware and appliances.

The Polypipe WS26B coupling is used to create a secure and permanent straight joint between two sections of 40mm ABS waste pipe using solvent welding.
This coupling is specifically designed for 40mm ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) waste pipe.
No, this coupling is designed for non-pressure waste and drainage applications only.
Installation requires ABS pipe primer and ABS solvent cement, along with proper preparation of the pipe and coupling surfaces.
While ABS is generally durable, long-term exposure to UV radiation can degrade the material. For outdoor applications, consider UV-resistant alternatives or protection.
Solvent weld joints create a permanent, fused bond that is generally stronger and more resistant to leaks than push-fit connections, making them ideal for permanent installations.
Proper preparation, including cleaning and priming, followed by the correct application of solvent cement and immediate, secure joint assembly, is key to achieving a leak-proof connection.
Ensure proper surface preparation, correct application of primer and solvent cement, and adequate holding time during curing. Re-join using new materials if necessary.
Check for obstructions inside the coupling or on the pipe end. Ensure the correct pipe diameter is being used. Re-cut the pipe end if necessary.
Verify that the correct type of solvent cement for ABS is used and that it is within its shelf life. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application.
