Jointing Method

1. CUTTING

It is imperative to mark the pipe from all sides so that pipe is cut with the help of a Hand Saw. It should be a right angle cut from all the sides. The cut piece should not be with burr on edges.

2. CHAMFERING

After cutting, the pipe needs to be chamfered from the outer sides. It is advisable to provide approximately 2mm wide, 150 chamfer on spigot end

3. DEBURRING AND RIDGE REMOVAL

Remove all the burrs and ridges accumulated on the inner as well as the outer edges of the pipe with the help of a deburring knife, file or abrasive paper.

4. DRYFIT TEST

Before applying solvent cement, insert the pipe end into the socket of the next pipe or fitting to check that interference occurs at about 1/3 to 2/3 of the socket depth.

5. CLEANING

Thoroughly clean the pipe with dry cloth where the solvent cement is going to be applied to avoid dust, dirt, oil, moisture and other foreign materials during the installation process.

6. APPLICATION OF SOLVENT CEMENT

Mark the pipe length to be inserted for jointing. Apply a liberal coat of solvent cement with the help of the brush on the marked surface.

7. JOINTING

Push the pipe inside the fitting / pipe so that it goes inside equally from all the sides. Wipe off excess solvent cement that comes out from all the edges. Hold the joint for one to two minutes so that the jointing is perfect.

8. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

Pipe line should be installed in proper alignment & along with necessary clamps. Pressure testing may be carried out after a curing period of 24 hrs.

FAQs

What is a SWR pipe?

SWR pipe stands for Soil, Waste, and Rainwater pipe. It is a type of rigid plastic pipe used for draining wastewater and rainwater from buildings. An SWR pipe is made from UPVC and designed to be lightweight, leak-proof, and resistant to corrosion and chemical exposure.

What is an SWR drainage system?

An SWR drainage system is a network of pipes and fittings that carry wastewater from toilets, sinks, and rainwater outlets to underground sewage or stormwater lines. It includes SWR pipes and fittings designed to ensure smooth flow, no leakage, and long-term durability.

Why is it important to use a proper SWR drainage system in buildings?

A well-planned SWR drainage system prevents waterlogging, backflow, foul odors, and structural damage. Using quality SWR pipe fittings and joints ensures hygienic waste disposal and reduces long-term maintenance issues.

Where can the SWR drainage system be used?

SWR drainage pipes are suitable for residential homes, commercial complexes, hospitals, hotels, and industrial buildings. They’re perfect for both indoor and outdoor use and function well in soil waste discharge and rainwater drainage systems.

Are AKG SWR pipes suitable for both homes and large buildings?

Yes. As a trusted SWR pipe manufacturer, AKG designs its SWR pipe systems to meet the needs of both small houses and high-rise buildings. The pipes are pressure-tested, UV-resistant, and available in multiple sizes for varied installation scales.

Can these pipes handle heavy rainwater or rooftop drainage?

Absolutely. SWR drainage pipes are designed to manage high-flow volumes, making them ideal for rooftop rainwater outlets, terrace drains, and external rainwater systems. AKG SWR fittings ensure tight joints and smooth internal surfaces for uninterrupted flow.

Can AKG SWR pipes be used in bathrooms or kitchens where acids are used?

Yes. AKG SWR pipe fittings and pipes are resistant to a wide range of household and industrial chemicals. They're safe for use in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms where cleaning agents and mild acids may enter the drainage system.

What sizes and lengths are AKG upvc SWR pipes available in?

AKG SWR pipes are available in 75mm, 90mm, 110mm, and 160mm diameters and in standard 3-meter or 6-meter lengths.

What are the different types of AKG SWR pipes and fittings?

We offer a complete range of SWR pipes and fittings, including bends, trees, reducers, couplers, traps and more. Our SWR pipe fittings are available in both Push-Fit and Solvent Fit models to suit your plumbing preference.

What’s the difference between Type A and Type B SWR pipes?

Type A SWR pipe is used for rainwater and waste discharge, while Type B is thicker and used for soil and underground drainage. AKG manufactures both types of SWR drainage pipes to ensure performance under varied conditions.

How are upvc SWR pipes installed? Do I need special tools?

Installing AKG SWR pipe systems is simple and doesn’t require special equipment. With Push-Fit joints, you just need to insert and lock; with Solvent Fit, a special glue is applied for a secure bond. Both types are easy to manage on-site.

Do you offer both Push-fit and Solvent Fit SWR options?

Yes, AKG offers both. Push-fit SWR fittings allow for fast, tool-free installation, while Solvent Fit systems provide permanent, leak-proof joints. You can choose based on the building’s drainage complexity and installer preference.

Can I use solvent cement for jointing SWR pipes?

Absolutely. When using Solvent Fit SWR pipe fittings, solvent cement is essential. It creates a watertight, chemical-resistant bond between pipe and fitting, ensuring a long-lasting drainage system.

Can SWR pipes be connected to older metal or concrete drainage systems?

Yes. With the right adapters and SWR fittings, AKG SWR pipe systems can be integrated with older drainage setups. This helps in renovation or partial replacement projects without redoing the entire system.

What installation tips should I follow to avoid drainage issues?

Ensure pipes are installed with the correct slope, fittings are tightly locked, and avoid unnecessary bends. Use approved SWR pipe fittings, avoid forcing connections, and inspect each joint. Proper venting and cleaning access points also help prevent clogging.

Where are SWR Type B pipes recommended for use?

Type B SWR drainage pipes are ideal for underground installations or high-pressure areas such as vertical soil stacks and building basements. Their higher thickness ensures durability under load and movement.

Can AKG SWR pipes be used in hot and sunny areas?

Yes. AKG SWR pipe is UV-resistant and thermally stable, making it perfect for Indian conditions, including rooftops and exposed outdoor piping.

What are the common mistakes to avoid when using SWR pipes?

Avoid mismatched SWR fittings, improper slopes, over-tightening of joints, and poor-quality solvent. Also, don’t ignore pipe support brackets, especially for longer runs, and always use genuine fittings from a reputed SWR pipe manufacturer like AKG.

How can I prevent blockages in my SWR drainage system?

Use strainers on outlets to prevent solid debris, inspect fittings regularly, and ensure correct pipe gradient. AKG’s smooth-finish SWR pipe helps reduce dirt buildup, ensuring long-term flow efficiency.
