A screwed access plug provides a removable opening in a waste pipe system, allowing for inspection, cleaning, and clearing of blockages without having to dismantle large sections of pipe.
No, the Polypipe WS72W is specifically designed for 50mm solvent weld waste systems. It is not compatible with push-fit or other plumbing systems.
The access plug itself screws into a fitting that is solvent welded into the 50mm pipe. The initial installation of the fitting requires solvent cement and proper pipe preparation.
The plug is designed to be hand-tightened for a secure seal. Using tools is generally not recommended as it can damage the plug or fitting.
The access plug is manufactured from durable ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic.
The frequency depends on usage and potential for blockages. Regular visual checks are advisable, especially if you notice slow draining. If a blockage occurs, use the access plug to clear it.
Ensure no excessive force is used. If stuck, try gently wiggling the plug while unscrewing. Avoid using tools that could damage the plug or fitting.
Check that the plug is screwed in fully and hand-tight. Ensure the sealing surface on both the plug and the fitting is clean and free from debris. If the leak persists, the fitting or seal may be damaged and require replacement.
Stop screwing immediately. Remove the plug and check the threads for damage or misalignment. Realign and try screwing in again gently.
Setup: This access plug is a component of a larger solvent weld waste system. It is designed to be solvent welded into a 50mm solvent weld waste pipe. Ensure all pipes and fittings are clean and dry before applying solvent cement according to manufacturer instructions. Once the pipework is installed, the screwed access plug can be hand-tightened into its designated fitting.
Compatibility: The WS72W is specifically designed for use with Polypipe's 50mm Solvent Weld Waste System range. It is not compatible with push-fit systems or other pipe diameters.
Care: To clean the exterior of the access plug, use a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the ABS material. Periodically, the plug may need to be removed for system maintenance. Ensure it is re-secured hand-tight after any maintenance to maintain a proper seal.
