WAVIN PP Pipe with Socket 40mm x 1.8mm x 500mm, Grey

The WAVIN PP pipe with socket is a high-quality component designed for internal sewage and drainage systems. Measuring 40mm in diameter, 1.8mm in wall thickness, and 500mm in length, this grey polypropylene pipe provides a reliable solution for waste water transport in various building environments. The integrated socket design facilitates a secure and straightforward connection, ensuring long-term performance and leak-proof operation.

Advantages

This polypropylene pipe offers excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for handling standard household waste water without degradation. The material is lightweight yet durable, which simplifies handling and installation processes. Its smooth internal surface minimizes the risk of blockages and ensures efficient flow rates. The socket connection system allows for quick assembly without the need for complex tools, providing a robust seal that maintains integrity under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Internal residential sewage systems
• Commercial building drainage networks
• Replacement of damaged pipe sections in 40mm systems
• Waste water transport in bathrooms and kitchens

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is not intended for use in pressurized water supply systems or for outdoor applications exposed to direct, long-term UV radiation. It is also not suitable for transporting industrial chemicals or high-temperature fluids that exceed the thermal limits of polypropylene.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene (PP)
• Diameter: 40mm
• Wall thickness: 1.8mm
• Length: 500mm
• Color: Grey
• Connection type: Socket

How to use

To install the pipe, ensure the cut end is clean and free of burrs. Apply a suitable lubricant to the seal inside the socket to facilitate smooth insertion. Push the pipe end into the socket until it reaches the stop point, then pull it back slightly to allow for thermal expansion. Ensure the pipe is properly supported by clamps to prevent sagging or misalignment during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your existing system to ensure compatibility with 40mm components.
• Check the required length to ensure a 500mm section is sufficient for your installation needs.
• Ensure that the operating temperature of the waste water does not exceed the manufacturer's specifications for polypropylene.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the joints for signs of moisture or leaks to ensure the continued integrity of the sewage system. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or mechanical tools that could scratch the internal surface of the pipe.
