Should be OK. Most of these things are uPVC. There is one breed of
wastepipe that is something else but it has a different BS number.

==========================================

Wickes sell two types of waste pipe - push-fit and solvent-weld. Would one
of these two be the exception to which you refer?

Cic.

The stuff I recall was plastic but copper coloured called something like
Bartol. It had a slightly slippery, soft feel surface and would not take
solvent weld cement. It might have been push fit. I 'inherited' odd bits
of it abandoned when I bought the house in the 80s.

upvc is a bit harder and you can't scratch it and make a mark with your
fingernail
