Bridge the gap between different pipe diameters with our Solvent Weld Reducer. This high-quality black fitting allows for a permanent, leak-proof transition from 40mm waste pipe down to 32mm, making it the ideal choice for connecting basins and specialized appliances to standard kitchen drainage stacks.
Permanent Chemical Bond: Designed for use with solvent cement to create a unified, one-piece joint that will never slip or perish.
Space-Saving Design: A compact “bush” style reducer that fits internally into a 40mm socket for a clean, low-profile finish.
High-Heat ABS: Manufactured from robust black ABS plastic to withstand boiling water discharge (up to 90°C).

A solvent weld reducer (sometimes referred to as a reducing bush) is a critical component used when two different sizes of waste pipe need to be connected. In the UK, 40mm pipe is standard for kitchen sinks and baths, while 32mm is common for bathroom basins and overflow lines. This black solvent weld reducer allows you to adapt a 40mm socket to accept a 32mm pipe, ensuring a secure and professional transition.
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we recommend the solvent weld reducer for any installation where structural integrity is the priority. Unlike push-fit reducers that rely on rubber seals which can degrade over time, a solvent-welded joint uses a chemical fusing process. This creates a permanent, airtight, and watertight bond that is essentially part of the pipe itself—perfect for “fit and forget” installations behind walls or under floors.
Our reducers are manufactured from high-impact ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). This material is preferred by tradespeople for its rigidity, chemical resistance, and ability to handle the high temperatures found in modern domestic plumbing. The sleek black finish is UV-stabilized, meaning it won’t become brittle or fade, even if used on external soil stacks or visible pipework.
