What pipe size does this tee accommodate?
This specific tee is designed for 40mm diameter pipes.
What material is the tee made from?

Is this product certified?
Yes, it is Kitemarked to BS EN 1451-1:2000, ensuring it meets relevant British and European standards.
How do I disconnect the pipe from the tee?

Troubleshooting
Leak at the push-fit joint
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the socket and that the pipe end and socket are clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Verify that the pipe is the correct diameter (40mm) and that both the pipe end and the inside of the socket are clean and smooth. A small amount of silicone lubricant can aid insertion if needed, but is not typically required.
Fitting does not seem secure
Confirm that the pipe has been pushed in far enough to engage the internal gripping ring. You should feel a distinct 'stop' when the pipe is fully seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the ends of the pipes to be joined are clean, dry, and free from burrs or debris. Gently insert the pipe end into the push-fit socket until it is fully seated. The internal seal will ensure a watertight connection. For disassembly, a specialized push-fit pipe removal tool may be required.
Compatibility: This 40mm tee is designed to connect with other 40mm push-fit waste system components. It is manufactured from polypropylene and is Kitemarked to BS EN 1451-1:2000, ensuring compatibility with other pipes and fittings meeting the same standard.

Care: The Osma Push-fit Waste system requires minimal care. Regular checks for leaks are advisable. In case of blockages, the system can generally be cleared using standard drain clearing methods, but avoid excessive force that could dislodge fittings. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners.
