FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this bend?
The Wavin OsmaSoil Bend 110mm - 87.5 Degree is designed to change the direction of a soil pipe by 87.5 degrees, facilitating tight turns in sanitary waste systems and providing access for rodding to clear blockages.
Can I use this bend with other brands of soil pipe?
This fitting is specifically designed for the Wavin Osma Soil system. While it might physically connect to other 110mm pipes, it is recommended to use it within the Wavin Osma system for guaranteed compatibility and performance.
What type of adhesive should I use?
You should use a Wavin PVC cleaner and a Wavin solvent cement specifically formulated for PVC-U pipes and fittings to ensure a secure and watertight joint.
How do I ensure a secure connection?
Proper preparation is key. Clean and prime both surfaces, apply solvent cement evenly, insert the pipe fully, and hold the joint for at least 30 seconds to prevent movement while the cement sets.
What does 'seamless rodding access' mean?
It means the bend is designed with an opening that allows a drain rod or snake to be easily inserted into the pipe system for clearing blockages without needing to dismantle the pipework.
Is this bend suitable for pressure applications?
No, this fitting is designed for gravity-fed soil and waste systems, not for pressurized water lines.
What does Kitemarked to BS EN 1329-1:2000 signify?
This certification indicates that the product has been tested and meets the rigorous quality and performance standards set by British and European regulations for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-U) pipes and fittings for soil and drain applications.
How resistant is this fitting to chemicals?
PVC-U offers good resistance to a wide range of household chemicals commonly found in sanitary waste. However, prolonged exposure to aggressive industrial chemicals may affect its integrity.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the joint
Ensure the joint was properly prepared, primed, and cemented. Verify that the pipe was fully inserted into the socket and held until set. If the leak persists, the joint may need to be cut out and remade.
Difficulty inserting pipe into socket
Check for any obstructions or deformation inside the socket or on the pipe end. Ensure both surfaces are clean. If there is a slight deformation, gentle warming might help, but avoid overheating.
Blockage in the system
Utilize the rodding access point provided by the bend to insert a drain rod or snake to clear the obstruction. Ensure the access point is properly resealed after use.
Fitting cracked during installation
Handle fittings with care, especially in cold weather. Avoid excessive force. If a crack occurs, the fitting must be replaced.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable PVC-U construction for longevity.
- Secure connection through solvent weld socket.
- Facilitates easy rodding for maintenance.
- Compliant with BS EN 1329-1:2000 standards.
- Captive seal technology enhances installation security.
Cons
- Primarily designed for Wavin Osma Soil systems, limiting cross-brand compatibility.
- Requires solvent cement for installation, which needs careful application and drying time.
- The 87.5-degree angle may not suit all installation scenarios.
- Not suitable for above-ground applications requiring UV resistance unless appropriately protected.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both the pipe end and the inside of the socket are clean and free from debris.
- Apply Wavin PVC cleaner to both surfaces to ensure a thorough clean.
- Apply a generous, even coat of Wavin solvent cement to both cleaned surfaces.
- Immediately push the pipe fully into the socket with a slight twisting motion to ensure even distribution of the cement.
- Hold the joint firmly for at least 30 seconds to prevent any movement.
- Wipe away any excess cement with a clean cloth.
- Allow the joint to cure for the time recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before disturbing or pressurizing the system. Typically, this is at least 1 hour for dry fit and longer for full service.
Compatibility:
- This fitting is designed for use with the Wavin Osma Soil and Vent range of PVC-U pipes and fittings.
- Ensure the pipe diameter matches the fitting's socket size (110mm).
- Use appropriate Wavin primer and solvent cement specifically designed for PVC-U.
Care:
- The PVC-U material is inherently durable and requires minimal maintenance.
- Periodically check accessible parts of the soil system for any signs of damage or leaks.
- Ensure the rodding access point is clear of obstructions.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PVC-U surface.
