FAQs
What is the purpose of an access plug?
An access plug covers a pipe fitting, providing a secure point for future inspection, maintenance, or clearing of blockages within the soil and waste system.
What size is this Wavin OsmaSoil access plug?
This is a 110mm access plug, designed for use with 110mm diameter Wavin OsmaSoil pipes and fittings.
How is this plug installed?
The plug is designed to fit into a standard 110mm ring-seal socket within the Wavin OsmaSoil system. It is pushed into the socket until securely seated.
Can this plug be used with solvent weld systems?
This specific model is plain-ended and designed for push-fit ring-seal sockets. For solvent weld joints, you would typically use a solvent weld fitting instead of an access plug.
What is Reycore Technology?
Reycore Technology is a manufacturing process used by Wavin to ensure the quality, performance, and durability of their PVC-U products, including the OsmaSoil range.
How do I remove the access plug if needed?
The plug can usually be removed by carefully levering it out of the socket. Ensure you have a good grip or use a suitable tool to gently pry it loose.
Is this plug suitable for high-pressure applications?
This plug is designed for soil and waste systems, which operate under low pressure. It is not intended for high-pressure applications.
Troubleshooting
Plug is difficult to insert.
Ensure the ring-seal socket is clean and free from obstructions. Slightly lubricate the socket and the plug's plain end with a compatible lubricant if necessary. Do not force the plug.
Plug leaks after installation.
Verify the plug is fully seated in the ring-seal socket. Check the condition of the socket's seal and ensure it is not damaged or worn. Confirm the plug is the correct size (110mm) for the socket.
Plug is stuck and cannot be removed.
Use a flat-bladed tool or pry bar carefully around the edge of the plug to break the seal. Avoid excessive force that could damage the surrounding pipework. If extremely difficult, consider cutting the plug out and replacing it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This access plug is designed to fit into a compatible Wavin OsmaSoil ring-seal socket. Ensure the socket is clean and free from debris. The plain end of the plug should be inserted firmly into the socket until it is securely seated. For a permanent or semi-permanent installation, ensure a tight fit.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for use with the Wavin OsmaSoil 110mm PVC-U soil and waste system. It fits into a standard 110mm ring-seal socket. While it may fit other 110mm ring-seal systems, full compatibility is guaranteed only within the Wavin OsmaSoil range.
Care:
Minimal care is required. Keep the plug and its surrounding area clean. If the plug needs to be removed for access, it can typically be levered out carefully. Ensure it is re-seated correctly after access is no longer needed. Avoid using excessive force or solvents not recommended for PVC-U.
