Product Information
Full details
The Wavin OsmaSoil Single Socket Coupler is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable connection in drainage systems. Its key benefit is the combination of a solvent weld and a push-fit ring seal socket, offering versatility for different jointing requirements and accommodating thermal movement. A potential caveat is the need for correct solvent cement application for the solvent weld joint to ensure a watertight seal.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the dual socket design?
The dual socket design offers flexibility, allowing connection to pipes via solvent weld or push-fit methods, making it adaptable for various installation scenarios.
What does 'captive seal technology' mean?
Captive seal technology ensures that the rubber seal within the push-fit socket cannot be dislodged during the fitting process, guaranteeing a secure and reliable watertight connection.
Can this socket be used for underground drainage?
Yes, the OsmaSoil range is suitable for underground drainage applications when installed correctly according to relevant building regulations and standards.
What type of solvent cement should I use?
Use a solvent cement specifically recommended by Wavin for their PVC-U drainage systems. Always follow the cement manufacturer's instructions for application and curing.
How do I check if the joint is correctly made?
For solvent weld, ensure a solid bond after curing. For push-fit, verify the pipe is inserted to the correct depth. A visual inspection and system test (e.g., water test) are recommended.
Can I use this coupler to join different diameter pipes?
No, this coupler is designed for 110mm diameter pipes only. Ensure both pipes being joined are of the correct size for the respective sockets.
What is the purpose of the expansion joint function?
The push-fit ring seal socket allows for a degree of movement, accommodating the expansion and contraction of pipes due to temperature changes, thus preventing stress on the joints and system.
Troubleshooting
Solvent weld joint is leaking.
Ensure the correct solvent cement was used and applied properly. Check for sufficient curing time. Re-cutting and re-joining the pipe may be necessary.
Push-fit joint is difficult to assemble.
Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the pipe end and the socket seal. Ensure the pipe end is clean and free from damage. Push with consistent, firm pressure.
Seal appears damaged or dislodged.
Carefully inspect the seal. If damaged, replacement may be required. Ensure the seal is correctly seated before attempting assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure pipe ends are clean, dry, and free from burrs.
- For the solvent weld socket, apply appropriate Wavin solvent cement evenly to both the pipe end and the inside of the socket.
- For the push-fit socket, lubricate the pipe end and the seal with a silicone lubricant if necessary. Push the pipe firmly into the socket until it reaches the depth mark.
- Join the solvent weld end by inserting the pipe and giving it a quarter turn. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to allow the solvent to set.
- Allow adequate curing time for the solvent weld joint before testing or putting the system into use, following the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions.
