FAQs
What size pipe does this coupler fit?
This Wavin OsmaSoil D/S repair coupler is designed for 82mm Wavin OsmaSoil pipe.
Can this be used with solvent weld systems?
No, this is a push-fit coupler with Ring-Seal sockets and is not designed for solvent welding. It is intended for use with other push-fit OsmaSoil components.
Do I need special tools to install this coupler?
No, installation is straightforward and typically only requires lubrication and manual effort to push the pipes into the sockets. A pipe cutter may be needed to prepare the existing pipe.
What is the purpose of the 'D/S' in the product name?
D/S typically stands for Double Socket, indicating that the fitting has a socket connection at both ends.
How does the Ring-Seal ensure a watertight connection?
The Ring-Seal is a rubber gasket within the socket that creates a compression seal around the pipe when it is inserted, preventing leaks.
Can this coupler be used for waste water from sinks and toilets?
Yes, the Wavin OsmaSoil system is designed for sanitary waste removal, including waste from sinks, showers, baths, and toilets.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the joint
Ensure the pipe ends are fully inserted into the sockets and that the Ring-Seal is properly seated. Check for debris on the pipe ends or inside the socket. Ensure pipe ends are cut square and smooth.
Difficulty pushing pipe into coupler
Apply more lubricant to the pipe ends and the inside of the socket. Ensure the pipe ends are not deformed. Check that the correct size coupler is being used for the specified pipe diameter.
Coupler does not fit over pipe end
Confirm that the pipe is indeed 82mm Wavin OsmaSoil pipe. This coupler is specific to that dimension and material. Ensure the pipe end is not damaged or deformed.
