  • Compatible with standard 50mm and 40mm pipe sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: This waste reducer is designed for 50mm and 40mm push-fit waste pipes and fittings. *It is not compatible with pipes that measure differently or have "ABS" printed on them, which require solvent weld fittings.*
  2. Installation: Ensure the pipes are cut squarely and free of burrs. Push the pipe fully into the reducer, then withdraw it by approximately 10mm to allow for expansion.
  3. Joints: Push-fit joints can be taken apart if needed, but check the O-ring in the fitting to ensure it hasn't been dislodged to prevent leaks.
  4. Care: No specific maintenance is required. However, periodically inspect the connections for leaks, especially after significant temperature changes.
