Wavin PP Pipe with Socket 40mm x 1.8mm x 1000mm, Grey

The Wavin PP pipe with socket is a high-quality polypropylene component engineered for reliable internal sewage and wastewater drainage systems. Measuring 40mm in diameter with a wall thickness of 1.8mm and a length of 1000mm, this grey pipe provides a robust solution for residential and commercial plumbing needs. The integrated socket connection facilitates a secure and leak-proof assembly, ensuring long-term performance in various indoor drainage environments.

Advantages

This polypropylene pipe offers exceptional durability and resistance to both high-temperature wastewater and common chemical agents found in domestic sewage. The material is lightweight yet rigid, which simplifies handling and installation processes. Its smooth internal surface minimizes the risk of blockages and sediment buildup, promoting efficient flow. Furthermore, the standardized socket design allows for quick and precise connections, reducing installation time and the need for complex tools.

Suitable for

• Internal domestic sewage systems
• Wastewater drainage in residential buildings
• Commercial plumbing installations
• Replacement of damaged sections in existing 40mm drainage networks

When it may not be suitable

This pipe is intended exclusively for internal gravity-fed sewage systems and is not suitable for pressurized water supply lines or outdoor installations exposed to direct UV radiation. It should not be used for conveying industrial chemicals that exceed the chemical resistance specifications of polypropylene.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene (PP)
• Diameter: 40mm
• Wall thickness: 1.8mm
• Length: 1000mm
• 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 a 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 maintain the correct slope for gravity drainage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required diameter for your specific drainage system
• Ensure the length is sufficient for your installation layout
• Check compatibility with existing pipe fittings and seals
• Confirm that the application is for internal non-pressurized drainage

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the joints for signs of moisture and ensure that the pipe remains securely fastened to the wall or structure to prevent sagging over time. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the internal surface of the pipe.
