The Floplast ABS Solvent Weld Pipe 40 mm × 3 m (Black) WS02 is a rigid waste drainage pipe designed for use in domestic plumbing systems. It provides a long section of 40 mm diameter ABS pipe that can be permanently joined to compatible fittings using solvent weld (cement) connections, forming a strong, watertight drainage run.

Function & Purpose

This pipe carries wastewater from fixtures such as showers, baths, sinks, toilets (where 40 mm pipework is needed), and appliances into the household drainage system. The 40 mm diameter is a common standard for larger waste and discharge applications, and the rigid ABS material ensures dependable performance over long straight runs or in buried or boxed-in pipework.

Compatibility

The WS02 pipe is engineered to work with 40 mm ABS solvent weld waste fittings such as bends, tees, junctions, connectors, and traps that accept solvent welding. When solvent cement is applied to the pipe and fitting sockets, the joint cures to form a permanent, leak-resistant connection.

Design & Build Quality

Manufactured in black ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), this pipe is tough, impact-resistant, and suitable for use in waste drainage applications. ABS is widely used in plumbing because it combines strength with chemical resistance and long-term durability. Solvent welded connections create a secure, long-lasting joint that performs reliably throughout the life of the installation.

Ideal Applications

This 3 metre length of 40 mm ABS pipe is ideal for bathroom, kitchen, utility, and shower drainage runs where a rigid, solvent-welded solution is desired. It is well-suited to new installations, renovations, and refurbishments where a permanent, leak-tight soil and waste connection is required.
