FAQs

What is the purpose of the FloPlast Push-Fit Waste Pipe?

It is designed to carry waste water away from your home, connecting fixtures like sinks and showers to the drainage system.

What size options are available?

The available sizes are 32mm, 40mm, and 50mm, with 40mm being the focus of this guide.

What is the push-fit system?

A system that allows you to connect pipes and fittings by simply pushing them together, without the need for tools.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Cut the pipe squarely, remove any burrs, and push the pipe into the fitting as far as it will go before withdrawing it by 10mm. Ensure the O-ring is correctly seated.

Can I take the joint apart again?

Yes, but always check that the O-ring has not been dislodged from its housing groove.

What should I do if the joint leaks?

Check the connection, ensure the pipe is fully inserted and withdrawn 10mm, and inspect the O-ring.

What material is the waste pipe made of?

It is made of Polypropylene.

Is the pipe compliant with any standards?

Yes, it is manufactured to BS EN 1451 and is British Standard kitemarked.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation.

Check that the pipe is fully inserted and withdrawn 10mm. Ensure the O-ring is correctly seated in the fitting. Tighten the joint if necessary.

Difficulty in connecting the pipe.

Ensure the pipe ends are cut squarely and free of burrs. Use SL40 spray lubricant to ease the connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy installation with push-fit design, saving time and effort.
Durable Polypropylene construction ensures long-lasting performance.
British Standard kitemarked, guaranteeing quality and safety.
Suitable for various applications, including baths, showers, and kitchen sinks.

Cons

O-rings can dislodge when disassembling joints.
Requires careful cutting of pipes for a proper fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure you have the correct size pipe (40mm in this case) and fittings for your application.
Cutting: Cut the pipe squarely using a pipe cutter or saw. Remove any burrs from the cut end.
Assembly: Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it reaches the stop. Then, withdraw it by approximately 10mm to allow for expansion.
Joint Re-assembly: If you need to take a joint apart, check that the O-ring has not been dislodged from its groove. Using SL40 spray lubricant can help reduce friction and the risk of damaging or dislodging the O-ring.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard waste fittings and drainage systems. Check that the fittings are also British Standard kitemarked.
Care: Regularly inspect the pipe for any leaks or damage. Clean the pipe as needed.
