FloPlast Solvent Weld Bent Waste Tank Connector - 21.5mm

Solvent weld is a type of adhesive used to fuse PVCu pipes and fittings together by chemically melting the surfaces and creating a strong, watertight bond.

You will need a pipe cutter, solvent weld adhesive, a brush or applicator for the adhesive, and possibly some emery cloth or sandpaper to clean the pipe and fitting ends.

No, this connector is specifically designed for use with PVCu pipes. Using it with other materials may result in leaks or a failed connection.

Curing times vary depending on the adhesive used and the environmental conditions. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions on the solvent weld adhesive for the recommended cure time.

Cutting the pipe is usually the best approach. Use a pipe cutter to remove the damaged connector while preserving as much pipe length as possible. Be careful when cutting to avoid damaging other components.

Check the solvent weld joint for proper sealing. Ensure sufficient adhesive was applied and that the pipe was inserted fully into the connector. If needed, cut the joint, clean the surfaces, and reapply the solvent weld following the proper procedures.

Ensure you are using the correct size (21.5mm) pipe and fittings. Measure the pipe diameter to confirm compatibility. If the size is correct, ensure that no debris is preventing a proper fit.
