FAQs

What type of solvent cement should I use?

Use SC250 solvent cement, or a solvent cement specifically designed for ABS pipes and fittings.

Can I reuse this connector?

No, solvent weld joints are permanent and cannot be disassembled without cutting the pipe or fitting.

How long should I wait before testing the connection?

Allow 12 hours after the joint is made before testing for leaks.

Is this connector suitable for high-temperature applications?

While ABS can handle moderate temperatures, it is not recommended for very high-temperature applications. Refer to the product specifications for temperature limits.

What is the thread size of the connector?

The connection thread diameter is 47.3mm, with a thread length of 30mm.

Does the connector come with a sealing washer?

Yes, the connector is supplied with a rubber sealing washer.

Can I use this connector outdoors?

Yes, ABS is suitable for outdoor use, but protect it from prolonged direct sunlight, which may cause degradation over time.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the joint after installation

Ensure that enough solvent cement was applied. If needed, cut out the fitting and redo the joint, ensuring a proper seal. Check that you have used the correct solvent cement and that the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting.

Difficulty in making the solvent weld joint

Make sure that both the pipe and fitting are perfectly clean. Ensure that you are using the correct solvent cement for ABS pipes and fittings. Apply solvent cement generously and fully insert the pipe into the fitting, twisting slightly to ensure full contact.

The connector does not fit the existing pipe

Verify that your pipes are 32mm solvent weld pipes. This connector is not compatible with pushfit or compression fittings. If you are using non-compatible fittings, you will need to replace them with the correct type.
