Technical Specifications:

*Note: Pipe diameter compatibility may vary slightly depending on the connection fittings used. Please confirm before installation.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Highly Flexible Design:
  Easily bends around obstacles or accommodates offset pipe alignments, eliminating the need for complex rigid pipe configurations or multiple fittings.

• Ideal for Confined Spaces:
  Perfect for under-sink or behind-appliance applications where space is limited or pipes do not line up perfectly.

• Durable and Long-Lasting:
  Made from tough, chemical-resistant polypropylene that stands up to hot water, detergents, and daily use.

• Leak-Resistant Fittings:
  Compatible with standard compression or pushfit joints to ensure a watertight seal without adhesives or sealants.

• Time-Saving Installation:
  Reduces installation time significantly by removing the need for precise cutting or additional pipe fittings.

• Repositionable & Reusable:
  Can be removed, adjusted, or reused in different installations without loss of performance.

Common Applications:

• Connecting basins or sinks where the outlet does not align with existing waste pipes

• Utility rooms and under-sink plumbing

• Washing machine or dishwasher drainage adaptations

• Retrofitting or repair work in older homes with irregular pipework

• Temporary installations or modular plumbing setups

Installation Instructions:

1. Inspect Pipe Ends:
   Ensure pipe ends are clean, smooth, and free of debris. If using compression or pushfit fittings, check that seals are in good condition.

2. Attach One End:
   Connect one end of the flexible pipe to the appliance or waste outlet using the appropriate fitting.

3. Route and Align:
   Gently bend and position the pipe to the required configuration. Avoid sharp kinks or extreme angles.

4. Connect Second End:
   Attach the other end to the waste pipe. Tighten any compression fittings hand-tight and then give a final quarter-turn.

5. Test for Leaks:
   Run water through the connected system and visually check for drips or leaks. Re-tighten if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: Is this pipe suitable for use with both 32mm and 40mm systems?
A: The product is typically compatible with standard waste systems, but it's important to confirm the fitting sizes as flexibility in pipe diameter may depend on the ends used.

Q: Can I cut this pipe to shorten it further?
A: This is not recommended, as cutting could compromise the structural integrity and cause leakage unless properly resealed with a compatible fitting.

Q: Will this handle hot water drainage?
A: Yes, the polypropylene material is heat-resistant and can handle typical domestic wastewater temperatures, including from dishwashers and washing machines.

Q: Is it suitable for outdoor or exposed use?
A: It is primarily intended for internal use. If installed externally, ensure protection from UV light and mechanical damage.

Q: Can this be cleaned or flushed internally?
A: Yes, it can be flushed with water or mild cleaning agents. Avoid strong solvents or acids.
