FAQs

What type of pipes are compatible with this reducer?

This reducer is only compatible with solvent weld waste and overflow pipes. It is not compatible with push-fit systems.

What kind of solvent cement should I use?

Use solvent cement such as SC125 or SC250. Ensure the solvent cement is suitable for use with ABS and uPVC materials.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Apply solvent cement evenly to both the inside of the reducer and the outside of the pipes. Insert the pipe fully into the reducer and hold it in place for a few seconds. Allow sufficient curing time.

Can I use this reducer for hot water applications?

Yes, this reducer is designed to perform at higher operating temperatures, making it suitable for hot water applications in residential settings.

Where can I find the product specifications?

The product specifications, including dimensions, can be found on the Polypipe website or in the product packaging.

How should I clean the reducer?

Clean the reducer with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection points.

Ensure the correct solvent cement (SC125 or SC250) was used and applied adequately. Reapply solvent cement to the connections after cleaning the parts. Make sure the pipes are fully inserted and held in place during curing.

Difficulty fitting the pipes.

Ensure the pipe ends are properly cut and deburred. If necessary, use a pipe cutter to ensure a clean, even cut. Check for any obstructions within the pipe or fitting.

Weak joint after installation.

Confirm that the correct solvent cement was used and that it is within its expiry date. Allow sufficient curing time as recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before testing the connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure both the 32mm waste pipe and the 21.5mm overflow pipe are clean and free of debris.
  2. Application of Solvent Cement: Apply solvent cement (SC125 or SC250) to both the inside of the reducer's 32mm end and the outside of the 32mm waste pipe. Do the same for the 21.5mm overflow pipe and the reducer's corresponding end.
  3. Connection: Immediately insert the waste pipe into the reducer's 32mm end and the overflow pipe into the 21.5mm end. Twist slightly to ensure even distribution of the cement.
  4. Holding: Hold the connection for a few seconds to allow the cement to begin setting. Wipe away any excess cement.
  5. Curing: Allow the joint to cure for the time recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before using.

Compatibility: This reducer is solely compatible with solvent weld waste and overflow pipes.

Care: Regularly check the connections for any leaks. If leaks occur, reapply solvent cement after cleaning the connections. Clean the reducer with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
