Pushfit Waste System

The polypropylene pushfit waste system offers convenience and simplicity for all plumbing needs. With a straightforward pushfit mechanism, featuring a captive ring seal within the fitting, installation is made easy. Simply push the pipe into the fitting, and the joint is securely made, saving you time and effort.

Our push fit waste pipes and fittings are manufactured to the BS EN 1455-1:2000 / BS 5255 standards by FloPlast, a leading UK provider of Above and Below Ground Drainage & Guttering solutions. The polypropylene waste pipes are designed for superior performance and longevity.

To cater to diverse installation requirements, our push fit waste range is available in three versatile colour options: White (32mm & 40mm), Grey (all sizes), and Black (32mm & 40mm).

If you're unsure about the differences between push fit and solvent weld waste systems, we invite you to watch our insightful 2-minute Video Guide for a comprehensive understanding.

Choosing the Correct Waste Pipe Sizes

When selecting the appropriate push fit waste pipe size, consider the following guidelines:

32mm Push Fit Waste Pipe: For washbasins, vanity basins, and standard urinals, the 32mm push-fit waste pipe is the suitable choice, ensuring efficient drainage for these fixtures.
40mm Push Fit Waste Pipe: Recommended for installations involving baths, showers, kitchen sinks, washing machines, and dishwashers. Additionally, some commercial urinals may require the use of a 40mm push-fit waste pipe.
50mm Push Fit Waste Pipe: In situations where multiple pipe runs converge or for commercial applications with larger flow volumes, the 50mm push fit waste pipe is the optimal solution. Its larger diameter accommodates the increased drainage demands of these installations.

By selecting the correct push fit pipe size based on the specific application, you can ensure proper waste management and prevent potential clogs or backups in your plumbing system.

Installing Push Fit Waste Pipe

The installation of push fit waste pipes is a relatively simple process that requires attention to a few key steps:

First, ensure that the pipe is cut squarely and cleanly, with no sharp edges or burrs. Carefully inspect and clean the cut end and remove any debris or obstructions.
Next, push the pipe firmly into the fitting, applying sufficient force to create a secure connection. It's essential to leave a 10mm gap between the adjoining pipes to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. This expansion gap ensures the system's longevity and prevents potential leaks or damage.
If you plan to use pipe clips for added support, follow the recommended spacing guidelines. For vertical runs, position the clips every 1.2 m, while for horizontal runs, space them at intervals of 500mm or less. Proper clip spacing helps maintain the system's alignment and prevents sagging or excessive stress on the joints.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and local plumbing codes for a successful and compliant installation. With the right techniques and precautions, push-fit waste pipes offer a convenient and reliable solution for your drainage needs.

Compatibility of Pushfit Waste System

Our push fit waste system from Floplast is compatible with other brands, however, for optimal performance and compatibility, we strongly recommend using push fit systems from a single manufacturer. Mixing and matching components from different manufacturers may lead to improper fitting or leakage issues.

If you need to connect to another system, our multi fit compression system is the ideal solution. This versatile system offers greater tolerance, allowing for seamless connections between different types of plastic materials and most metals.

It's important to note that push fit waste pipes or fittings are not compatible with our ABS Solvent Weld System. The solvent weld system requires the use of specialised solvent cement to create permanent, watertight joints between pipes and fittings. Attempting to weld push fit components to the solvent weld system may compromise the integrity of the installation.

*Delivery to non-Industrial Scotland, Northern Ireland, and CH, LL, and CA postcodes can sometimes take slightly longer, although this is dependent upon the exact location.

If we are unable to deliver your order within the above timeframe for any reason, we will contact you to arrange an alternative delivery day. We use overnight carriers, so we are unable to arrange or confirm an exact time of delivery.

Some special or non-stocked items on our website have extended lead-times, which are displayed on the product pages in question – see below for more details.

Whilst every reasonable effort shall be made to keep to a delivery date, we cannot be held liable for any losses, costs, damages, or expenses arising directly or indirectly out of any failure to meet any estimated delivery date.

In the unlikely event of a late delivery, we will be unable to compensate you for any consequential loss, so please do not organise any plant or labour before you have received your materials.

DELIVERY CHARGES AND EXTENDED LEAD TIMES

Orders over £1,000 excluding VAT will be delivered free of charge. Orders under this amount will incur a charge of £15.00 + VAT. This applies to most stocked items and some items that are supplied directly from manufacturers. Orders of stocked items are generally delivered in 1-3 working days.

Some stocked items will incur a bulky or pallet charge due to their extreme weights or lengths:

Bulky items - £45.00 + VAT charge placed on orders that contain one or more bulky products. These items will be marked as bulky during the checkout process.
Palletised items - £60.00 + VAT charge placed on orders that contain one or more items that need to be sent and delivered via a pallet. These items will be marked as palletised during the checkout process.

A full list of stocked items can be found here.

Certain items, usually those sent direct from manufacturers, incur additional delivery charges and an extended lead time regardless of the order value, due to the restrictions placed upon us by our carrier and the extreme weights/lengths. These charges are applied instead of the standard £15.00 + VAT charge if the order is valued under £1,000 excluding VAT.

The following product ranges have extended lead times or incur additional delivery charges. Please click on each individual range for specific details.

SPLIT DELIVERIES

If you have ordered a mixture of goods that come both from us and direct from our manufacturing partners, you will be advised of this in your dispatch email. As the order is coming from two locations, you will receive two different deliveries. Delivery on direct items can have extended lead times and will need someone present to check and sign for the goods.

Occasionally, we don't have all items in stock at our main warehouse. If this is the case, we will endeavour to send the stock the same day from one of our other branches, in order to not delay delivery of the complete order. This may lead to a split delivery, dependant on the courier being used. We will contact you if there is going to be a delay due to this.

LABOUR AND MACHINERY

Please do not book machinery or labour until your goods have been received and checked over. Whilst every effort is made by our couriers to deliver your parcel within the stated timeframe, Drainage Sales cannot be held responsible for any additional costs incurred by delays outside of our control.

CHECKING AND SIGNING FOR ORDERS

SIGNED FOR POLICY – T&CS

All orders should be signed for. If you are unable to sign for your delivery, you can arrange with us for a neighbour to take delivery of your order. You can also advise us of a safe place where your order can be left, although we cannot take responsibility for any shortages or obvious damages.

Please ensure that you always check the number of packages that you are signing for. If there is an incorrect number of packages or any package appears damaged, you should note this on the signature panel and advise us so that we can rectify the issue as quickly as possible. Once goods have been signed for as being received ‘complete and in good condition’, any claims are not covered by the carrier’s insurance company.

Signing for goods as ‘unchecked’ makes any claims inadmissible, so please check the number of packages and look for any signs of any damage, noting any issues on the signature panel. Although the delivery drivers are busy, they are contractually obliged to wait whilst you check your delivery.

WHAT IF I CAN’T WAIT IN ALL DAY?

There is a ‘Notes’ section of the Basket review page where you can request for your goods to be left in a safe location – just tell us where to leave the order. Please not that we cannot take responsibility for any shortages or obvious damages if goods have not been signed for.

Please note that deliveries made by DHL (these are generally small orders with no pipe or bulky products) cannot be left in a safe location. You will be advised which carrier will be delivering your order by email at the point of dispatch.
