FAQs
What is the primary use for this double socket coupler?
This coupler is primarily used for joining two lengths of 110mm Wavin OsmaSoil pipe, particularly useful as a slip coupler for making repairs to existing pipework.
Does this coupler require any glue or adhesive?
No, this is a push-fit ring seal coupler, meaning it creates a watertight seal through the rubber ring gasket and does not require any solvent cement or adhesive for installation.
Can I use this coupler with pipes from other brands?
While it might physically fit, it is specifically designed and tested for 110mm Wavin OsmaSoil pipes to ensure a reliable seal. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.
What size pipe does this coupler fit?
This coupler is designed for 110mm diameter pipes within the Wavin OsmaSoil system.
Is this coupler suitable for underground use?
Yes, the PVC-U construction and the secure ring seal make it suitable for underground installation as part of a soil and waste system, provided all joints are correctly made.
What does Kitemarked to BS EN 1329-1:2000 mean?
This certification indicates that the product has been independently tested and meets the rigorous quality and safety standards set out in the European standard for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) pipes and fittings used for soil and sewage, and for drains, in the temperature range 0 °C to 40 °C.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pushing pipe into socket
Ensure the pipe end and the inside of the socket are clean and free from obstructions. A small amount of silicone lubricant (not petroleum-based) can aid insertion. Ensure you are using the correct 110mm pipe diameter.
Leakage at the joint
The pipe may not have been fully inserted. Disconnect and re-insert the pipe firmly, ensuring it is seated correctly within the ring seal. Check the condition of the ring seal for any damage or debris.
Coupler does not fit existing pipe
Confirm that the existing pipe is indeed 110mm diameter and compatible with the Wavin OsmaSoil system. This coupler is designed for specific Wavin OsmaSoil dimensions and push-fit ring seal systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the ends of the 110mm Wavin OsmaSoil pipes to be joined are clean, free from debris, and cut square.
For repairs, ensure the damaged section is removed and the remaining pipe ends are accessible.
If using as a slip coupler for repairs, slide the coupler onto one pipe end, then connect the other pipe end, and finally slide the coupler back to center over the joint.
For standard joining, push the pipe firmly into the socket until it reaches the internal stop or desired depth.
Compatibility:
This coupler is specifically designed for 110mm Wavin OsmaSoil PVC-U pipes.
It features push-fit ring seal sockets and is not compatible with solvent weld joints without appropriate adaptors (if available).
Verify compatibility with any non-Wavin OsmaSoil pipes before attempting to join.
Care:
The PVC-U material is low maintenance. Periodic checks of visible joints for any signs of leakage are recommended.
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
