Common Use Cases:

• Reducing 40mm pipework down to 32mm where appliance or fixture outlet sizes differ

• Retrofitting existing installations without altering main plumbing infrastructure

• Connecting smaller diameter waste traps to larger waste pipes

• Bridging different plumbing systems in extensions or renovations

Installation Instructions:

1. Prepare Pipes:
   Ensure that both the 40mm and 32mm pipe ends are cut square, smooth, and free from debris.

2. Insert into Reducer:
   Slide the compression nut and sealing washer over each pipe before inserting them into the appropriate ends of the reducer.

3. Tighten by Hand:
   Secure each compression nut by hand until tight. For extra security, use an appropriate wrench, but avoid overtightening.

4. Test System:
   Run water through the system to check for leaks. Tighten further if necessary.
