McAlpine Friction Washer - Green - PWM3

'Multifit' signifies that the washer is designed to create a secure seal on various types of pipe materials, including copper, lead, iron, and plastic, without requiring specific adaptors.

The McAlpine PWM3 Friction Washer is available in three standard waste pipe sizes: 1¼", 1½", and 2".

This friction washer is designed for gravity-fed waste water systems. It may not be suitable for high-pressure applications.

Ensure the washer is fully and evenly pushed onto the pipe and that the pipe is correctly inserted into the fitting. The friction fit creates the seal, so proper seating is crucial.

The washer is made from durable plastic.

A full range of spare parts and accessories for McAlpine products, including components that work with this washer, are typically available from authorized McAlpine stockists.

The green color serves as a visual identifier for the product, aiding in quick recognition and inventory management on job sites or in storage.

Ensure you are using the correct size washer for the pipe diameter. If the pipe is slightly out of tolerance, consider using a small amount of appropriate pipe sealant or a reinforcing tape on the pipe before fitting the washer.

Re-check the washer's position and ensure it is fully seated on the pipe and within the fitting. Verify that the pipe is inserted correctly and the fitting is properly tightened (if applicable). Inspect the washer for any damage.

Ensure the washer is not distorted and is evenly pushed onto the pipe. A small amount of water-based lubricant can aid insertion, but avoid excessive amounts that could compromise the seal.
