This Offset Bend Top is resistant to most acids, alkalis, bleaches, and detergents. It features push-fit or solvent weld joints with an innovative seal that makes installation easy, and the double socket top part of the soil offset is ideal for creating a bend around the eaves of a building. Wavin OsmaSoil is a PVC-U Soil system for sanitary waste removal. A comprehensive system available in a variety of colours and sizes with either push-fit or solvent weld joints. With two solvent weld sockets to join two pieces of 110mm Wavin OsmaSoil pipe, this secure jointing method is Kitemarked to BS EN 1329-1:2000.
The Wavin OsmaSoil 4S104G is a PVC-U soil pipe coupler designed for sanitary waste removal in domestic, commercial, and industrial settings. Its key benefit lies in its secure and easy-to-install double solvent weld sockets, ensuring a robust connection for 110mm pipes. A minor consideration is that solvent weld requires specific conditions for optimal curing.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Wavin OsmaSoil 4S104G coupler?
This coupler is used to join two pieces of 110mm Wavin OsmaSoil PVC-U pipe together using a secure double solvent weld joint, typically as part of a sanitary waste drainage system.
Can this coupler be used with push-fit systems?
No, this specific model (4S104G) is designed for double solvent weld joints. Wavin OsmaSoil also offers push-fit components, but they are distinct products.
What materials are needed for installation?
You will need Wavin PVC-U cleaner, Wavin PVC-U solvent cement, and a clean cloth for application.
What standards does this product meet?
This coupler is Kitemarked to BS EN 1329-1:2000, ensuring it meets rigorous quality and safety standards for soil and drainpipe applications.
How long does the solvent weld joint take to cure?
Cure times vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, joints should not be disturbed for at least 30 seconds, and significant handling strength is achieved within a few hours. Full cure can take up to 24 hours. Refer to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for precise timings.
Is this product suitable for underground use?
The Wavin OsmaSoil system is primarily designed for above-ground drainage. For underground applications, Wavin typically recommends their other specialized drainage systems.
What is the chemical resistance of the PVC-U material?
The PVC-U used in Wavin OsmaSoil is resistant to most common acids, alkalis, bleaches, and detergents, making it suitable for sanitary waste removal.
Troubleshooting
Joint leakage after installation
Ensure proper surface preparation, sufficient solvent cement application, and adequate holding time during the solvent weld process. Check for any damage to the pipe or socket before jointing.
Pipe not fully inserting into socket
Verify that the pipe end is cut squarely and that any burrs have been removed. Ensure the socket is clear of debris. Re-apply cleaner and cement if necessary.
Solvent weld not hardening
Check the temperature and humidity conditions, as these can affect curing times. Ensure the correct type of solvent cement for PVC-U is being used and has not expired.
Difficulty cleaning the pipe/socket
Use a damp cloth for routine cleaning. For stubborn residue, ensure the area is well-ventilated and use the recommended Wavin PVC-U cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the ends of the 110mm Wavin OsmaSoil pipes are clean, dry, and free from burrs.
Apply Wavin PVC-U cleaner to both the pipe end and the inside of the socket.
Apply Wavin PVC-U solvent cement evenly to both surfaces.
Insert the pipe fully into the socket with a quarter-turn twist and hold for approximately 30 seconds to prevent pipe push-out.
Allow sufficient time for the joint to cure before further stress or use, following the solvent cement manufacturer's guidelines.
Compatibility:
This coupler is designed for use with 110mm Wavin OsmaSoil PVC-U pipes.
Ensure all components are from the Wavin OsmaSoil system for guaranteed compatibility.
Use only appropriate Wavin PVC-U cleaner and solvent cement.
Care:
The PVC-U material is low maintenance. Regular flushing of the drainage system will help prevent blockages.
Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the pipe material.
