FAQs
Is this plug compatible with push-fit waste pipes?
No, this plug is specifically engineered for solvent weld systems and will not provide a secure seal on push-fit pipework.
Can I remove this plug after it has been installed?
Because it uses a solvent welding process, the bond is designed to be permanent. Removing it usually requires cutting the pipe section.
Do I need special tools to install this?
You only need a pipe cutter or hacksaw to ensure a square end, and a standard solvent weld cement.
What is the diameter of this plug?
This plug is designed to fit standard 40mm waste pipes.
Is the material resistant to hot water?
Yes, it is designed for use in standard domestic waste systems capable of handling typical hot water temperatures from sinks and basins.
Troubleshooting
The plug feels loose before cementing
Ensure you are using the correct pipe type; this plug is specifically for 40mm solvent weld pipe and will not fit standard push-fit systems.
Leak detected after installation
The weld may have been incomplete. Ensure the pipe end was properly deburred and that enough solvent cement was applied to create a continuous seal around the circumference.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures a reliable, leak-free seal
- Compatible with standard 40mm solvent weld systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first clean both the interior of the pipe and the exterior of the plug with a suitable pipe cleaner to remove dirt and grease. Apply a thin, even coat of solvent weld cement to both surfaces, insert the plug fully into the pipe with a slight twist to distribute the adhesive, and hold in place for 30 seconds. Do not disturb the connection for at least 15 minutes to allow the initial bond to set. For ongoing maintenance, periodically check the surrounding pipework for any signs of movement or stress that might compromise the seal.
