FAQs

What is the main advantage of using ABS for this fitting?

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) offers excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals and physical impacts, ensuring durability and a long service life for the plumbing system.

What is the correct temperature range for this fitting?

The fitting is suitable for constant use at temperatures up to 60°C and can handle intermittent discharges of water up to 90°C.

Can I use push-fit connectors with this OsmaWeld fitting?

No, the OsmaWeld range specifically uses solvent weld for secure jointing. It is not compatible with push-fit systems.

What size pipe does this 40mm spigot bend connect to?

This fitting is designed for 40mm nominal bore (NB) waste pipes and fittings.

How do I ensure a leak-proof joint?

Proper preparation of the pipe and fitting ends, correct application of solvent cement, and holding the joint firmly during the initial setting period are crucial for a leak-proof solvent weld.

Are there different color options available?

Yes, the OsmaWeld waste system is available in White, Black, and Grey to suit various installation requirements.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation.

The joint may not have been made correctly. Ensure pipe ends and socket were clean and dry, sufficient solvent cement was applied, and the joint was held securely during the initial set time. If the leak is significant, the joint may need to be cut out and remade.

Solvent cement not bonding effectively.

Ensure you are using the correct type of solvent cement for ABS pipes. Check the expiration date of the cement. Make sure surfaces are clean and dry before application.

Fitting cracked or damaged during installation.

Handle fittings with care, especially in cold weather. Do not overtighten or force joints. Replace any damaged fittings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to corrosion and physical damage.
  • Provides a very secure and permanent joint when properly installed.
  • Meets relevant safety and quality standards.
  • Suitable for standard hot and cold water discharges.
  • Part of a comprehensive system for varied plumbing requirements.

Cons

  • Requires solvent cement for jointing, which needs careful handling and ventilation.
  • Solvent welding is a permanent bond and less forgiving of mistakes than push-fit systems.
  • May not be suitable for extremely high continuous temperatures beyond 60°C.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the ends of both the pipe and the fitting socket are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Application of Solvent Cement: Apply the appropriate solvent cement evenly to both the outside of the spigot (tail) and the inside of the socket. Work quickly as the solvent evaporates.
  3. Jointing: Immediately push the spigot fully into the socket with a slight twisting motion (approximately a quarter turn) to ensure even distribution of the solvent cement. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent movement.
  4. Curing: Allow adequate time for the joint to cure. Refer to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for specific curing times, especially before pressure testing or using the system.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed for use with other ABS pipes and fittings within the Wavin Osma Soil and Vent range.
  • Compatible with 40mm nominal bore piping.
  • Use only appropriate ABS solvent cements designed for this type of plastic.

Care:

  • The material is resistant to most common household chemicals. However, avoid prolonged contact with aggressive solvents not intended for plumbing use.
  • Regularly check the system for any signs of leaks, particularly after initial installation.
