Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this bend can handle?
The Wavin Osma Waste Push-fit Bend is suitable for intermittent discharges of water up to 90°C. It is not designed for continuous high-temperature applications.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
For standard installation, no specialized tools are typically required beyond ensuring the pipe ends are clean and potentially deburred. A tape measure or marker may be useful for insertion depth.
Can this be used for hot and cold potable water?
No, this product is specifically designed for waste water systems and is not suitable for potable (drinking) water applications.
What other sizes are available?
The Wavin Osma Waste Push-fit system is available in 32mm, 40mm, and 50mm sizes, in black, grey, and white.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
A watertight seal is achieved by ensuring the pipe is clean, free from obstructions, and pushed fully and squarely into the push-fit socket until it reaches the required insertion depth.
What is the advantage of push-fit over solvent welding?
Push-fit offers significantly faster installation times, eliminates the need for primers and solvent cements, requires less cleanup, and allows for immediate testing of the system.
Is the material UV resistant?
Polypropylene generally has good resistance to UV, but for extended direct sunlight exposure, it's advisable to protect the installation.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the push-fit joint
Ensure the pipe was fully inserted into the socket. Remove the pipe, check for debris or damage on the pipe end or inside the socket, clean both surfaces, and re-insert firmly. If damage is present, replace the component.
Difficulty inserting pipe into socket
Check if the pipe end is clean, deburred, and of the correct diameter. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant (not petroleum-based) can be applied to the pipe end if needed. Ensure the pipe is being pushed in squarely.
System blockage
While the bend itself is smooth, blockages often occur due to debris accumulation further down the system. Disassemble accessible sections of the waste pipework and clear any obstructions. The smooth bore of the Osma system helps minimize future blockages.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Extremely fast and easy to install due to push-fit technology.
Reduces labor costs and installation time on site.
Durable and long-lasting material (polypropylene).
Compliant with relevant safety and quality standards (Kitemarked).
Suitable for a range of domestic waste applications.
Low maintenance requirements.
Cons
Requires compatible push-fit fittings for a complete system.
Not designed for continuous high-temperature discharge.
Specific angle may not suit all routing requirements.
Primarily intended for waste water systems, not potable water.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the ends of the pipes to be joined are clean, dry, and free from burrs. Use a deburring tool if necessary.
Mark the insertion depth on the pipe spigot using the depth gauge provided or a suitable marker.
Push the pipe firmly and squarely into the push-fit socket of the bend until it reaches the marked depth. Ensure it is fully seated for a watertight seal.
Compatibility:
This 32mm bend is designed to connect with other 32mm Wavin Osma Waste Push-fit system components.
It is suitable for use with standard domestic waste water applications.
Ensure all connected components are also rated for the temperatures and pressures expected in a waste system.
Care:
The polypropylene material is low-maintenance. No regular cleaning is required under normal operating conditions.
Avoid exposing the system to aggressive chemicals or solvents that are not typically found in domestic wastewater.
Periodically check for any obvious signs of leaks or damage, although the push-fit system is designed for long-term reliability.
