Solvent weld question

[JCplumb]

Hi chaps,
Had a job last week where I had to convert from solvent weld waste pipe to 40mm compression/pushfit waste pipe.
The customer is a landlord and wants everything as cheap as possible, I didn't have much of a run of pipe to work with so ended up solvent-welding a piece of 40mm polypropelene pipe over about 4 inches of the solvent weld. After about 15 minutes it was still a bit loose but after an hour it was solid. I didn't have room for an adaptor as it was tight up against some other pipework.
Question is:
Will this hold?

No. Solvent glue only works on ABS or Mupvc. You need a multifit fitting.

it may hold for a while, but will def fail at some point.

Agree with above

Polyprop doesnt sovent weld. You need to get a SW to push fit converter fitting

Thanks for the advice guys, looks like I'll have to play Tetris again in this bathroom. There's no access to the back of the bath and only about 2 inches between the bath/toilet/ped

That's rough lol

Expansion and contraction of the pipe when hot water is run through it will cause the solvent to eventually fail as there is no chemical bond being formed as what happens on solvent weld systems.

This is the reason I carry untold amounts of waste fittings at all times, and keep them topped up, you may have gotten away with CT-1 in fact you probably will have but not ideal. Comp coupler or solvent weld better of course though.
