FloPlast Black ABS Solvent Weld Waste

The ABS Solvent Weld Waste System offers a lightweight yet robust and cost-effective solution for soil and waste applications. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of both domestic and commercial plumbing installations, this system is manufactured from Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) and conforms to BS EN 1455-1:2000 and BS 5255:1989 standards. With a smooth, high-gloss finish and excellent impact resistance, it ensures durability and a long service life.

The ABS Solvent Weld Waste System is suitable for a variety of waste drainage applications, including:

• Kitchen and bathroom waste disposal
• High and low-temperature waste systems within buildings
• Use in refurbishment and new build projects
• This system is particularly effective in installations where a high-strength, chemically resistant waste solution is required.

• Lightweight yet durable – Easy to handle and install while maintaining high impact resistance.
• Cost-effective – Offers a balance between affordability and performance.
• High-performance solvent weld jointing – Provides secure, leak-free connections when used with SC125/SC250 Solvent Cement.
• Chemical resistance – Resistant to a range of domestic and industrial chemicals.
• Smooth bore design – Minimises the risk of blockages and improves flow efficiency.

• Material: Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS)
• Standards Compliance: BS EN 1455-1:2000 – Plastics piping systems for soil and waste (low and high temperature) within the building structure​.
• BS 5255: 1989 – Specification for thermoplastic waste pipe and fittings.
• Size Availability: 32mm, 40mm, 50mm
• Temperature Resistance: Continuous flow up to 76° Intermittent discharge up to 100°C
• Certification: Kitemark™ Certified (KM 548614) for product quality and performance.

Preparation:

• Cut the pipe to the required length using a fine-toothed saw.
• Remove any burrs and chamfer the pipe end to ensure a smooth connection.
• Dry-fit the components to check alignment before solvent welding.

Solvent Welding:

• Clean the mating surfaces using an appropriate cleaning fluid.
• Apply SC125/SC250 Solvent Cement evenly to both the pipe and fitting.
• Insert the pipe into the fitting fully and rotate it slightly to ensure an even distribution of cement.
• Hold the joint in place for a few seconds to allow initial bonding, then wipe away excess cement.

Setting Time:

• Allow at least 5 minutes before handling.
• The system should not be subjected to pressure for 12 hours to ensure full bonding.

Support & Fixing:

• Vertical Installations: Secure pipe clips at 1.2m intervals.
• Horizontal Installations: Secure pipe clips at 0.5m (32mm & 40mm) or 0.6m (50mm) intervals.
• Conduct a water test to check for leaks before finalising the installation.
• Ensure all connections are secure and free from defects.
