Small leak on pushfit waste

[Mgrant]

So pushfit waste fittings usually leak I'd there not pushed all the way in? Had one with a small leak on it but wasn't pushed all the way home. Pushing it fully in cured the small leak.

Is there a question there mate??

They shouldn't leak if the pipe is pushed past the O ring. I would have pulled the pipe out to check if O ring wasn't damaged or partly pushed out.
Got to make sure the end of pipe is entirely filed to a taper and joint lubricated. Also don't use fittings on odd size pipe as some of the foreign waste pipe and waste fittings are smaller odd side. In this part of UK, push fit waste pipes are used almost entirely.

Thanks we'll the oring is near the start of the fitting so I'd of thought would of still been past this. But pushing in further did stop the leak. May pull apart and have a look at the oring.

Can I ask what you find best polypipe or osma push fit waste? And are they both interchangeable?

It is the push fit waste fittings that greatly differ, although I do see some waste pipe of poorer quality.
I prefer Hepworth waste fittings, as they just seem better made and tighter fit on O ring to pipe
