I thought I'd throw this question out to those in the know...
I intend to fit a strap boss to an internal soil pipe. The pipe is made by Osma so I figured it makes sense to use their strap boss to ensure a good fit. However, I have noticed in the Osma design and installation guide (pg 110) that solvent cement filler should be used for this type of connection.
This struck me as sensible given the nature of this type of join but then I discovered that their solvent cement filler retails at over £20 for a 200g tube!
So, I was wondering if anyone can confirm that it is indeed necessary for the job (compared with standard solvent cement) and therefore I should just swallow what strikes me as rather a high cost? Is it acceptable to use cement filler for other joints too i.e. there's no drawback to it (other than cost of course!)?
