FAQs

What type of solvent cement should I use?

Always use solvent cement that is specifically designed for use with the type of plastic pipe you are connecting. Follow the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions.

How long should I hold the pipe and adaptor together during installation?

Refer to the solvent cement instructions for the recommended holding time. This typically ranges from a few seconds to a minute, depending on the cement and environmental conditions.

Can I use this adaptor with different pipe sizes?

No, this adaptor is specifically designed for 63mm x 40mm pipes only. Using the wrong size could lead to leaks.

What if the joint leaks after a while?

If the joint leaks, you may need to cut the pipe and adaptor, clean the surfaces, and re-apply solvent cement. Ensure the installation follows the correct procedures.

How do I store the solvent cement?

Store solvent cement in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Always keep the container tightly closed.

Is it safe to use this adaptor with hot water?

Check the pipe and solvent cement specifications to ensure compatibility with hot water. Typically, these adaptors are designed for cold water and waste applications.

Can I reuse the adaptor?

No, it is generally not recommended to reuse an adaptor once it has been solvent welded. It could compromise the integrity of the connection.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation

Ensure that the solvent cement was applied correctly and that the pipe was inserted fully into the adaptor. Check for any cracks in the adaptor or pipe. Re-apply solvent and re-join if necessary.

Difficulty in inserting the pipe

Make sure the pipe ends and the adaptor are clean. If necessary, slightly chamfer the pipe ends to ease insertion. Use appropriate force, but avoid excessive force that could damage the components.

Slow drainage after connecting

Check for any obstructions or blockages in the pipe. Ensure that the pipes are properly aligned and that there are no kinks or bends that could restrict the flow.
