This waste reducer is used when a 40mm waste pipe is connected into a 50mm pipe, usually with the 40mm pipe dropping into the 50mm pipe below it running towards the soil pipe.It is usually used in the branch of a 50mm tee or in one end of a 50mm coupling.This push fit waste system is manufactured in the UK to BS EN 1451 and is British Standard kitemarked.When making a push fit joint, cut the pipe square and remove any burrs, push the pipe into the fitting as far as it will go and then withdraw it by approximately 10mm to allow for any expansion. The joint can be taken apart again if required, but always check that the O ring has not been dislodged from its housing groove in the fitting as this will cause the joint to leak.Click here to read our guide that explains the key differences between push fit and solvent weld waste systems.
