Wirquin 32mm To 1 1/4 Waste Pipe Adaptor - European To Uk Pvc Solvent Weld

This adaptor is designed to connect to 32mm European pipes that are either push-fit, compression, or designed for solvent weld.

Its primary use is to connect 32mm European waste pipes to standard 36mm (1.1/4") UK waste pipes, common in plumbing transitions between systems or fixtures.

Basic plumbing tools are needed, including a pipe cutter and potentially a deburring tool. PVC solvent cement and an applicator are essential for creating the permanent joint.

The 32mm end is a spigot (male end) designed to fit inside a 32mm socket (female end). The 36mm end is a socket (female end) designed to fit over a 36mm pipe spigot (male end).

This adaptor is designed for waste pipe applications and is typically made of PVC, which may not be suitable for high-temperature hot water systems. Always refer to product specifications for temperature limits.

Curing times vary by manufacturer and environmental conditions. Refer to the specific solvent cement packaging. A minimum of 24 hours is usually recommended for full strength before the system is put into full service.

While durable, PVC solvent weld joints are generally best suited for above-ground or easily accessible applications for potential future maintenance. Consult local plumbing codes for specific installation requirements.

Ensure pipes were fully inserted and solvent cement was applied correctly and allowed to cure properly. Re-seal the connection if necessary, ensuring pipes are clean and dry before re-application of solvent cement.

Check that you are using the correct pipe sizes (32mm EU spigot and 36mm UK socket). Ensure the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and cut square. Do not force the fit; if resistance is high, re-check pipe dimensions and adaptor compatibility.

Ensure both pipe ends and the inside of the adaptor sockets are clean and dry. Use an applicator tool for even distribution. Work quickly once the cement is applied, as it begins to set rapidly.
