FAQs

What is the main purpose of the balloon grating?

The primary purpose is to prevent debris, leaves, and nesting wildlife from entering the soil drainage system while allowing necessary ventilation.

Is this product suitable for all types of drainage pipes?

No, this product is specifically designed for PVC-U soil drainage systems for sanitary waste removal.

What are the available colors?

The Wavin OsmaSoil Balloon Grating is available in white, grey, and olive.

Does it require special tools for installation?

Basic tools for pipe cutting and cleaning may be needed, along with appropriate solvent cement if using solvent weld joints. Otherwise, it's a push-fit application.

How often should I clean the grating?

It's recommended to check and clear debris periodically, especially after heavy leaf fall or windy conditions, to ensure optimal performance.

What standard does this product comply with?

It conforms to BS 4514:1983.

Can this grating be used on exterior pipes exposed to weather?

Yes, the PVCu construction is robust and designed to withstand environmental conditions when properly installed as part of a soil drainage system.

Troubleshooting

Grating does not fit securely

Ensure the end of the soil pipe is clean and the correct joining method (push-fit or solvent weld) is being used appropriately. Check for any obstructions or damage on the pipe end or the grating socket.

Suspected blockage despite grating

While the grating prevents large debris, smaller particles can still accumulate. Inspect the pipework downstream for blockages and clear as necessary. Ensure the grating itself is clear of debris.

Loose seal

If using a ring seal system, ensure the seal is correctly seated. If a solvent weld joint appears loose, it may need to be re-done following the correct procedures and using adequate solvent cement.
