Compression Waste Pipe and Fittings

Compression waste pipe and fittings are a type of plumbing system used for the disposal of wastewater from sinks, basins, baths, and appliances. They utilize compression fittings that create a watertight seal without the need for solvent cement or specialized tools.

Compression waste pipe and fittings are typically made from durable materials such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). These materials are resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and have a long service life.

Compression waste systems offer several advantages, including easy installation without the need for solvent cement, flexibility for disassembly and repositioning, compatibility with various pipe sizes and materials, and the ability to handle both hot and cold water applications.

Compression waste fittings consist of a compression ring (olive), a compression nut, and a compression insert. The pipe is inserted into the fitting, and the compression ring and nut are tightened onto the fitting, compressing the olive against the pipe, creating a secure and watertight seal.

Yes, compression waste pipe and fittings are suitable for both residential and commercial applications. They can be used in bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and various other plumbing installations.

Yes, one of the advantages of compression waste systems is their ease of disassembly and repositioning. The compression nut can be loosened, allowing the fittings and pipe to be disconnected and reconfigured as needed.

When installed correctly, compression waste systems provide reliable and leak-free connections. It is important to ensure that the pipe is properly inserted, the compression ring is in place, and the compression nut is tightened sufficiently to create a secure seal.

Compression waste systems are designed to handle both hot and cold water applications. However, it is important to check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure the specific product is suitable for the intended temperature range.

Compression waste systems are relatively straightforward to install. The fittings require no solvent cement, and the compression mechanism is simple to assemble. However, it is still important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for proper installation.

Compression waste systems should comply with relevant building codes and regulations.
