Full details
The OsmaSoil Double Socket is an essential component for plumbing professionals and DIY enthusiasts working on wastewater drainage and foul discharge systems. It provides a reliable, secure connection between two lengths of 82mm OsmaSoil piping, utilizing advanced push-fit technology to expedite installation. While it offers excellent durability and ease of use, installers must ensure the pipe ends are properly chamfered and lubricated to maintain the integrity of the ring-seal joint.

FAQs
Can I use this socket with non-Osma brand pipes?
It is strongly recommended to use this with OsmaSoil branded pipes to ensure the tolerances of the ring-seal and pipe dimensions are perfectly matched.
Does this fitting require solvent cement?
No, this is a push-fit fitting. Solvent cement should not be used as it may damage the integrity of the captive ring-seal.
Is the 82mm size the external diameter of the pipe?
Yes, this fitting is designed specifically for 82mm outside diameter soil pipes.
Can this be used for underground drainage?
This is primarily designed for above-ground soil and vent systems. Check local building regulations for underground drainage specifications.
How do I maintain the correct fall?
Use the built-in keyway system as a visual guide and always use appropriate pipe clips to support the weight of the pipe and maintain the gradient.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting pipe into socket
Ensure the pipe end is clean, deburred, and properly lubricated with silicone lubricant.
Seal appears dislodged during installation
Remove the pipe, inspect the captive seal for damage, reset it into the groove, and ensure the pipe enters the socket perfectly straight.
Minor leakage at the joint
Check that the pipe is fully inserted to the depth stop and ensure no grit or debris is trapped between the seal and the pipe wall.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-free push-fit installation saves time
- Captive seal design prevents leaks and assembly errors
- Lightweight and easy to handle in tight spaces
- Optimized for reliable wastewater flow with the built-in keyway system
Cons
- Limited to 82mm diameter pipe systems
- Requires proper pipe end preparation for a smooth fit
- Not intended for pressure-rated piping applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a watertight connection, follow these steps during installation:
- Ensure the pipe end is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to the ring seal.
- Apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant to the pipe spigot before insertion.
- Insert the pipe firmly into the socket until it seats fully.
Compatibility: This fitting is specifically designed for 82mm OsmaSoil pipe systems. It is not compatible with other drainage standards or pipe diameters. Maintenance is minimal; however, periodic inspections of the joints should be performed to check for movement or signs of seepage in high-vibration areas.
