Frequently Asked Questions

• Will your Flexible connectors block due to corrugations on the inside?
  The material has been stringently tested and found not to retain sedimentation of organic products or chemical substances on the inside wall of the pipe. Since their introduction, the incidence of blockages has been no more than installations using conventional materials.
• Are your Flexible connectors covered by a BS?
  There is no British Standard for flexible WC Connectors. However, McAlpine flexible WC Connectors are independently certified as conforming to DIN 1389-02. BSI has confirmed that the technical content of this standard would be identical to that of a BS EN.
• Can I glue your flexible connectors and fittings?

  Flexible Connectors with plain end spigots are suitable for solvent welding to BS EN 1329-1:2020 waste pipe.
