FAQs

What is the 'Lock Ring' and what does it do?

The 'Lock Ring' is a patented feature on the inlet of the connector. It provides a superior and tighter seal to the WC pan outlet, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection.

It is made of EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), a soft, durable, and flexible plastic, with synthetic rubber and moulded finned seals.

What pipe sizes is this connector compatible with?

It is designed for use with 4" (110mm) pipes.

Can I use this connector with cast iron pipes?

Yes, it is suitable for both PVC-U and cast iron 4"/110mm soil pipes.

What should I do if the connector is leaking?

Check the connections at both ends. Ensure the 'Lock Ring' is properly engaged and that the seals are intact. Tighten the connections if necessary.

Clean it with warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

What is the inlet size range for pan spigots?

Troubleshooting

Connector leaks after installation.

Check the 'Lock Ring' seal is fully engaged. Ensure the connector is properly aligned and tightened. Inspect for any damage to the connector or the connected pipes.

Difficulty fitting the connector to the WC pan.

Ensure the WC pan spigot is clean and free from debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the spigot or the connector's inlet for easier fitting.

Connector does not fit into the soil pipe.

Verify that the soil pipe is a standard 4" (110mm) size. Check for any obstructions within the pipe. Ensure the connector is fully inserted.
