Full details
The W4 Hose Connector is a compact, one-piece Y connector designed for efficiently joining two 28.5mm (32mm O.D.) waste pipes into a single outlet. Ideal for plumbing setups where space is limited or a neat connection is required, it offers a straightforward solution for waste pipe consolidation. However, it is specifically designed for waste pipes of the stated dimensions and may not be suitable for other pipe sizes or applications requiring high-pressure resistance.

FAQs
What size pipes does this connector fit?
This connector is designed for 28.5mm internal diameter waste pipes, which typically have an outer diameter of 32mm.
Can this be used for pressurized water lines?
No, this connector is specifically designed for waste water applications and is not rated for pressurized water systems.
Does it come with hose clamps?
Hose clamps are not included with the connector. It is recommended to use appropriate hose clamps for a secure installation, especially in mobile or vibrating environments.
How many pipes can it connect?
It is a Y-connector designed to join two pipes into a single outlet.
What material is the connector made of?
The connector is made from durable materials suitable for waste water applications.
Is this a push-fit connector or does it require glue?
It is designed for a push-fit connection. However, for added security, hose clamps are recommended, and a suitable sealant may be used if desired, depending on the application.
Troubleshooting
Connector is loose on the pipe
Ensure the pipe is the correct 28.5mm internal diameter (32mm O.D.). If it is, use hose clamps on both ends of the connection to secure the pipes to the connector.
Leak at the connection point
Verify pipe compatibility and condition. Ensure pipes are fully inserted into the connector. If the pipe is slightly deformed, use a hose clamp to create a tighter seal. For permanent installations, consider using a suitable sealant approved for waste water systems.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of obstructions. Slightly warm the pipe end with warm water (not hot) to make it more pliable. Do not force the pipe, as this can damage it or the connector.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This connector is specifically designed for 28.5mm internal diameter waste pipes, which typically have an outer diameter of 32mm. Ensure your existing pipes match these dimensions before installation. It is intended for waste water systems and not for pressurized water lines.
Setup:
- Ensure the ends of both 28.5mm waste pipes are clean, dry, and free from debris.
- Slide the connector onto the end of one waste pipe, pushing it as far as it will comfortably go.
- Align the second waste pipe with the other open end of the Y-connector.
- Push the second pipe firmly onto the connector. For a secure fit, especially in mobile applications or where vibration is present, use appropriate hose clamps (not included) on each pipe connection.
Care:
- Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks or looseness.
- Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the material.
