Product Information
Full details
This Wavin OsmaSoil Single Socket Coupler is designed for plumbers and builders needing a reliable PVC-U system for sanitary waste removal. Its key benefit is the combination of push-fit and solvent weld connections, offering flexibility in installation and accommodating thermal expansion. A potential caveat is the need for proper solvent welding technique for one of the joints to ensure a secure connection.

FAQs
What does Kitemarked to BS EN 1329-1:2000 mean?
This certification indicates that the product has been independently tested and certified to meet the quality and performance standards set by British and European regulations for plastic piping systems for soil and drain applications.
Can I use this coupler with pipes from other manufacturers?
While it is designed to be compatible with Wavin OsmaSoil systems, compatibility with other brands cannot be guaranteed due to slight variations in manufacturing tolerances. It is recommended to use with Wavin pipes and fittings for optimal performance.
How do I ensure a watertight seal on the push-fit side?
Ensure the pipe is clean, cut square, and de-burred. Push the pipe firmly into the socket until it reaches the insertion mark. The captive seal technology is designed to create a reliable seal upon correct insertion.
What is the purpose of the single socket design?
The single socket design allows for a transition point, offering flexibility by combining two different jointing methods (push-fit and solvent weld) in one fitting, or for creating expansion joints.
How long should I wait after solvent welding before using the system?
Curing times vary based on temperature and humidity. Refer to the specific solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for recommended initial set and full cure times before testing or operating the system.
Can this coupler be used for hot water waste?
The Wavin OsmaSoil system is primarily designed for sanitary waste removal (cold and lukewarm water). For high-temperature applications, consult Wavin's product specifications for suitability.
Troubleshooting
Leak at push-fit connection
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the socket and the seal is not damaged. Check for debris in the socket or on the pipe end. Re-insert the pipe firmly.
Leak at solvent weld connection
The joint may not have been made correctly. The pipe may not have been fully inserted, or insufficient solvent cement was used. This joint may need to be cut out and remade following the correct procedure.
Difficulty inserting pipe into socket
Check if the pipe end is clean, de-burred, and not deformed. Ensure the socket is free from obstructions. A small amount of water-based lubricant can be used on the seal for push-fit connections, but never on solvent weld joints.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers flexibility with both push-fit and solvent weld joint options.
- Built-in captive seal technology enhances reliability and ease of installation.
- Accommodates thermal expansion, preventing stress on joints.
- Durable PVC-U material ensures longevity.
- Kitemark certification guarantees quality and adherence to standards.
Cons
- Requires specific tools and knowledge for solvent weld jointing.
- The black colour may not be suitable for all visible applications.
- May be less aesthetically pleasing than some alternative materials for exposed pipework.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Solvent Weld Joint: For the solvent weld connection, ensure both the pipe end and the socket are clean and dry. Apply Wavin solvent cement evenly to both surfaces using the applicator. Immediately push the pipe into the socket as far as it will go, give it a quarter turn, and hold firmly for approximately 30 seconds to prevent push-out. Allow adequate curing time before stressing the joint, as per the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions.
- Push-Fit Joint: For the push-fit ring-seal connection, ensure the pipe end is clean, cut square, and de-burred. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe. Push the pipe firmly into the socket until it reaches the marked depth. The captive seal will ensure a watertight connection.
Compatibility:
- This coupler is designed for use with Wavin OsmaSoil PVC-U pipes and fittings of the same size (110mm).
- It is suitable for sanitary waste removal applications.
- Ensure compatibility with local building regulations and plumbing codes.
Care:
- The PVC-U material is low maintenance. Clean the exterior of the system with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Regularly check visible joints for any signs of leaks or damage, especially after significant temperature changes or system use.
