Floplast leakage problems

[SimonG]

The only floplast product that I highly rate is their A rated air admittance valve.

I find their solvent weld stuff ok, but a lot more brittle than other brands.

Hadn't really come across the brittle aspect, but I love my solvent weld wastes. Hate push fit, wonder if it's the glue?

Thanks guys, at least you were all more helpful than plumbfix!

What did they say?

They asked me whether they were fitted by a competent professional! I said no, I did it! Honestly their customer service is shocking, especially as I spend. Fair bit with them.

Did you chamfer the ends of the pipes before pushing the fittings on? If you cut them rough this could cause little nicks in the rubber o'rings or possibly push them out of their recess.

Pyres chamfered them! Been reading on the internet they are manufactured using recycled rubber for seals...

Ikea traps and fittings are worse IMO

Aah the dodgy grey carp that looks like its made out of recycled washing up bowls. Similar to the muck that b+q sell ....its bleeding awful
