FAQs
What material is this fitting made from?
The fitting is manufactured from durable polypropylene, known for its strength and low-maintenance properties.
What size pipe does this fitting accommodate?
This is a 32mm fitting, designed to connect with 32mm diameter plastic waste pipes.
Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?
No, the push-fit design allows for quick assembly without the need for solvent cements or specialized tools. A pipe cutter may be needed to prepare the pipe ends.
Is this fitting suitable for hot water pipes?
While polypropylene offers good resistance, this fitting is primarily designed for standard greywater waste systems. For high-temperature applications, consult Wavin's product specifications for suitability.
How can I ensure a watertight seal?
Ensure the pipe ends are clean, cut squarely, and are fully inserted into the push-fit socket until the insertion mark is reached. The fitting creates its own seal upon proper insertion.
What does the Kitemark certification mean?
The Kitemark to BS EN 1451-1:2000 indicates that the product has been independently tested and certified to meet rigorous European quality and safety standards for waste systems.
Can I use this fitting outdoors?
The polypropylene material is weather-resistant, making it generally suitable for outdoor waste applications where it is part of a drainage system.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the joint
Ensure the pipe was fully inserted into the socket. Check for any debris or damage on the pipe end or inside the socket. If the pipe end is damaged, cut a fresh section and re-insert.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Verify that you are using a 32mm pipe. Ensure the pipe end is clean, square, and free of burrs. Lightly lubricate the pipe end with water or a compatible lubricant if necessary.
Fitting appears loose
Confirm the pipe has been pushed in fully to the designated insertion depth. The push-fit mechanism relies on full engagement.
