Solvent weld waste fittings create permanent, leak-free joints in plastic waste pipe without rubber seals, compression nuts, or mechanical connections - the solvent cement chemically fuses the pipe and fitting into a single continuous structure. At the DIY Hardware Store, our solvent weld fittings cover the white ABS and PVC elbows, tees, straight couplings, traps, and access fittings used in domestic waste plumbing systems.
Solvent welding is the method of choice for new-build and renovation waste plumbing where a permanent, vibration-resistant joint system is specified. The cement is applied to both the pipe end and the fitting socket, and the pipe is pushed into the fitting with a slight rotation and held for a few seconds while the solvent sets. A completed joint is ready for use within minutes and provides a bond that's typically stronger than the pipe itself. Unlike compression joints, solvent weld connections cannot work loose or be re-opened.
Available in white finish at the DIY Hardware Store in 32mm and 40mm sizes for standard domestic basin and sink waste pipe systems.
