About this deal

Cliff the 32 and 40 pipe I have here in Italy does not fit the double ended female fittings I have bought. The key thing is that you cannot mix solvent and push fit pipe as the pipe itself is different which is why the push fit is slightly smaller (edited) (so it does not fit).

And now I've looked at the 40mm I find that inside the bags labelled 40mm are fittings labelled 43mm - so that's it then - all designed to screw up DIYers! Still have not had the chance to ask Screwfix whether they might consider that selling 32 and 40 but supplying 36 and 43 without mentioning it, is a good reason to give me a refund - albeit its a marginal thing whether posting them back is worth it. This fitting has a physical pipe fitting size of 36mm and requires Solvent Weld Glue for installation. In addition to a full selection of connectors required to create an operational system, both flexible and static versions are on offer. You can't use solvent weld fittings on push-fit pipe, because the pipe is constructed from a different type of plastic.Solvent weld a 43mm waste pipe to traps from the sink, shower, washer or more, to create secure wastage systems.

Only suitable for Alton Evolution (not Victorian or Heritage models), Elite, Peak, Simplicty and Hercules greenhouse models. Solvent weld fit runs have the most extended lifespan of all waste systems, including push-fit and compression systems. Must be one of those difficult design decisions programmers come across all the time: if you make push fit and solvent weld pipe the same diameter then somebody will try to solvent weld pipe which shouldn't be. Alternatively, the mechanical soil pipe boss connector provides a universal connection for push-fit pipes. I sent a wad of kitchen roll down from the 32mm side with a suitable stick to clear out the channel.

Malcolm was very patient and responsive when I asked a lot of different questions about the product on a Saturday afternoon. Finaly cut a 32mm pipe to size that could meet the 36mm pipe inside the 40mm pipe leaving enough length to fit a 32mm pipe extension joint. If it needs adjusting you can always heat the pipe and form a socket to fit the existing, heat gun is good. Your existing pipes might be solvent weld, which is not compatible with push fit at all, as the pipe is larger and made from ABS rather than polypropylene. However, this excludes damages caused by accidents, neglect or misuse of the Solvent Weld Waste 90 Degree Tee.
