Full details
This Wavin OsmaWeld socket reducer is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to connect a 32mm waste pipe to a 40mm solvent weld system.

Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking after installation
The joint was likely not fully inserted, not held long enough during setting, or the solvent weld cement/primer was not applied correctly or was past its expiry date. The joint may need to be cut out and re-made.
Pipe does not fit into the socket
Ensure you are using the correct sizes (32mm pipe into 40mm socket). Check for obstructions or damage inside the socket or on the pipe end. The pipe end might be deformed; attempt to carefully re-round it if possible, or use a new pipe end.
Solvent weld components have dried out
Solvent weld primer and cement have a limited shelf life. Ensure you are using fresh, unexpired products. If the products have dried out, they will not form a proper joint and must be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both the 32mm pipe end and the 40mm socket are clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
- Apply the appropriate solvent weld primer to the outside of the 32mm pipe and the inside of the 40mm socket.
- Apply the solvent weld cement evenly to both primed surfaces.
- Immediately insert the 32mm pipe into the 40mm socket with a slight twisting motion until it reaches the base.
- Hold the joint firmly for 30 seconds to prevent movement while the solvent weld begins to set.
- Allow the joint to cure fully according to the cement manufacturer's instructions (typically 24 hours for full strength).
Compatibility:
- Compatible with 32mm nominal bore (NB) waste pipes.
- Fits inside 40mm nominal bore (NB) solvent weld sockets conforming to BS EN 1455-1 and BS EN 1566-1.

Care:
- The ABS material is resistant to most household chemicals found in waste water.
- No specific maintenance is required for the fitting itself once installed.
- Regular cleaning of the connected waste system (e.g., sinks, traps) is recommended to prevent blockages.
