Question 1

What is the Cosmoplast 160mm x 110mm UPVC Reducer Grey used for in plumbing?

Accepted Answer

This reducer connects a 160 mm UPVC pipe to a 110 mm UPVC pipe, allowing a smooth diameter transition in plumbing systems for both residential and commercial installations.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this reducer?

Accepted Answer

Material: UPVC; Color: Grey; Size: 160 mm to 110 mm reducer; Use: reduces pipe size from 160 mm to 110 mm in UPVC piping; Durable and corrosion-resistant with good chemical tolerance.

Question 3

How do I install the Cosmoplast UPVC reducer correctly?

Accepted Answer

General installation steps: 1) cut and deburr the pipes to ensure clean ends; 2) apply compatible UPVC primer to the pipe ends and the reducer socket; 3) apply UPVC solvent cement to both the pipe and reducer socket; 4) push the 110 mm side into the reducer first, then align the 160 mm side; 5) hold steady until the cement sets and cure per product guidelines.

Question 4

Which pipe sizes does this reducer connect, and how is it oriented?

Accepted Answer

The reducer transitions from a 160 mm pipe on one end to a 110 mm pipe on the other end. Install with the 160 mm end connected to the larger pipe and the 110 mm end to the smaller pipe, ensuring proper alignment for a leak-free joint.

Question 5

What are common use cases for this reducer?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for connecting a larger diameter main line to a smaller distribution line, bridging sections of UPVC piping in both new installations and piping upgrades in water supply or drainage systems.

Question 6

How durable is this reducer and what maintenance does it require?

Accepted Answer

Made from UPVC, it offers strong corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and can withstand typical temperatures encountered in plumbing. It has no moving parts, so maintenance is minimal—regularly inspect joints for leaks and ensure proper installation.

Question 7

What are some alternative UPVC reducers on Fepy and how do they compare?

Accepted Answer

Alternative reducers on Fepy include: 1) Cosmoplast 110mm x 90mm UPVC Reducer Grey (https://fepy.com/product/cosmoplast-110mm-x-90mm-upvc-reducer-grey) — smaller step-down option for tighter spaces. 2) Cosmoplast 200mm x 160mm UPVC Reducer Grey (https://fepy.com/product/cosmoplast-200mm-x-160mm-upvc-reducer-grey) — larger diameter, suitable for higher flow applications. Both use similar UPVC material and installation methods, offering comparable durability with different size transitions.

Question 8

How do I choose the right reducer size for my project?

Accepted Answer

Identify the outer diameters of the pipes you’re joining (in this case, 160 mm and 110 mm). The reducer should connect those two sizes with a smooth transition. Verify that both pipes are compatible with UPVC fittings and that the solvent cement/primer you use is approved for UPVC piping.

Question 9

Is this reducer suitable for potable water and chemical exposure?

Accepted Answer

UPVC reducers are widely used for potable water systems and offer good chemical resistance. This reducer should be compatible with typical potable-water installations, but always confirm local codes and product specifications for your exact application and any aggressive chemicals in the system.

Question 10

What safety and installation best practices should I follow?

Accepted Answer

Wear appropriate PPE (gloves and eye protection). Ensure work area is dry and well-ventilated. Use proper UPVC primer and cement, apply evenly, and avoid over-application to prevent slip hazards. Allow adequate curing time before system pressurization and inspect joints for alignment and leaks after installation.

Question 11

Are there any special handling or storage considerations for this reducer?

Accepted Answer

Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and severe temperature fluctuations. Keep the reducer free from physical damage; handle with care to avoid scoring or cracking the socket faces, which could affect fit and seal integrity.
