    How to Install a Drainage Pipe Using Push-Fit Joints Without Compensator Socket?

    When connecting drainage pipes with a maximum length of 3 metres (9.5 feet), it is vital to account for potential thermal expansion. A maximum of 10 mm (0.4 inches) may be removed from the sleeve due to thermal effects. This allows for proper adjustment of push-fit connections between fittings. Follow these steps for a secure push-fit coupling:

    Step 1: Cutting the Drainage Pipes

    Astral DrainPro drainage pipes allow easy cutting with a pipe cutter or a saw. To ensure a precise fit, cut the pipe at a 90° angle to its axis. After cutting, it is important to remove all burs, cutting residues and sharp edges from the pipe end. For optimal performance, chamfer the pipe ends only when connecting to fittings. However, chamfering is not necessary when connecting to a compensator or the end of the compensator.

    Step 2: Inspect and Clean

    Check the position and condition of the lip seal within the coupler channel. If needed, clean both the fitting and the gasket. Also, ensure the push-fit end of the pipe and the fitting are clean.

    Step 3: Apply Lubricant

    Apply a thin, uniform layer of lubricant to the end of the coupling. Avoid using oil or grease because it can interfere with the connection.

    Step 4: Connect the Pipe

    Insert the end of the pipe into the coupler and push it in firmly.

    Step 5: Adjust and Fix

    Slide the drainage pipe, not the fitting, approximately 10 mm (0.4 inches) out of the coupling. This adjustment accounts for any thermal expansion and prevents slipping. For vertical pipe installations, maintain a 10 mm (0.4 inches) gap to allow for expansion and prevent misalignment. Once assembled, secure the pipes with collars immediately.

    By following these installation procedures, you ensure the reliable performance of the DrainPro drainage system, which enhances its efficiency and durability in managing waste and wastewater.
