The Viva Sanitary Flexible Waste Pipe Connector is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable solution for connecting bathroom sinks and basins, particularly in complex installations where rigid pipes are difficult to use. Its key benefit is its flexibility, accommodating various pipe types and angles easily. A potential caveat is ensuring a secure seal on all pipe materials, especially lead.

Its primary advantage is its flexibility, allowing for easy installation in tight spaces or around obstacles where rigid pipes would be difficult to fit.
Yes, the universal outlet is designed to be suitable for lead pipes, along with plastic and copper pipes. However, ensure a secure and appropriate connection method is used for lead pipework.
This connector is designed for 1 1/4" (which is approximately 32mm) diameter pipes.
Ensure pipe ends are clean and properly inserted. Tighten the compression fitting securely but do not overtighten. For the plain end, a snug fit is usually sufficient, but sealant can be used if needed.
The connector is manufactured from high-quality polypropylene.
This connector is designed for standard waste pipe applications. It is not intended for high-pressure or high-temperature applications like hot water supply lines.
One end is a push-fit plain end, and the other is a compression outlet designed to connect to a pipe using a compression nut and olive.
Ensure the pipe is straight and fully inserted into the fitting. Tighten the compression nut further, but avoid overtightening which can damage the pipe or fitting. Check the condition of the olive (if applicable).
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and clean. If connecting to a compression fitting on the other side, ensure that fitting is also secure. For certain pipe types or if a more secure seal is desired, consider using an appropriate pipe sealant or solvent cement designed for the pipe material.
If the 500mm length is insufficient, you may need to use a combination of rigid pipes and flexible connectors, or consider a longer flexible pipe if available for your specific application.
Ensure you are using the correct diameter pipe (1 1/4" / 32mm). For stubborn fits on plastic or copper pipes, a small amount of silicone lubricant or soapy water can aid insertion.
