Product Information

Full details

The Polypipe 110mm Soil Screwed Access Cap with Spigot Tail (SA62W) is designed for plumbers and builders needing a reliable access point in residential soil and vent systems. Its key benefit is providing convenient, secure, and rapid access for inspection and maintenance of 110mm soil pipework. A potential caveat is its specific 110mm diameter, limiting its use to compatible systems. This white access cap, part of the PolySoil® range, features a screwed design for secure closure and easy opening, supports both push-fit ring seal and solvent weld installations, and includes a spigot tail for flexible integration into existing plumbing.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this access cap?

The primary purpose is to provide a convenient and secure point for inspection and maintenance of a 110mm soil and vent system.

Can this cap be used with different types of pipe jointing methods?

Yes, it supports both push-fit ring seal and solvent weld installation methods.

What size pipe does this access cap fit?

This access cap is designed for 110mm diameter soil pipes.

What is a spigot tail?

A spigot tail is a part of the fitting that is inserted into another fitting's socket, allowing for connection. In this case, it connects the access cap assembly to the soil pipe system.

How do I maintain the screwed cap?

Keep the threads clean and free of debris. Periodically wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the cap is properly tightened after use.

Is this product suitable for above-ground or below-ground use?

This component is typically used in above-ground soil and vent systems. Always refer to specific building regulations and product datasheets for definitive application guidelines.

What is the warranty period for Polypipe soil system components?

Polypipe Building Products generally offers extensive warranties on their soil systems. Specific warranty details are usually found on their official website or product documentation, often covering manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Cap is difficult to unscrew

Ensure there is no debris obstructing the threads. If the cap has been in place for a long time, a gentle tapping motion might help dislodge it. If problems persist, consider using a pipe wrench with protective jaws to gain leverage, but apply force carefully to avoid damaging the cap or fitting.

Leak detected around the cap seal

Check that the cap is fully tightened and the seal within the cap is clean and properly seated. If the seal is damaged or worn, it may need to be replaced. Ensure the mating surfaces on the cap and housing are clean and free from obstructions.

Difficulty in pushing the spigot tail into a socket

Ensure the socket and the spigot tail are clean and free of debris. Use an approved silicone lubricant on the spigot tail and the rubber seal of the socket if it's a push-fit connection. Check that the socket is not already occupied or deformed.

Cap does not seal properly

Inspect the threads on both the cap and the housing for damage or foreign objects. The internal sealing gasket might be missing, damaged, or dislodged, requiring inspection and potential replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This access cap is designed to be installed within a 110mm soil and vent system. It can be connected using either the push-fit ring seal method, where the spigot tail is inserted into a compatible socket, or by using solvent cement suitable for PVC/ABS pipes to bond the spigot tail to a solvent socket fitting. Ensure all connections are clean, dry, and correctly aligned before making the joint. For push-fit connections, ensure the ring seal is properly seated and lubricated if necessary.

Compatibility: The SA62W is specifically designed for use with other 110mm diameter components within soil and vent systems. It is part of Polypipe's PolySoil® range, suggesting compatibility with other products from this line. Always verify that any connecting pipes or fittings are also 110mm in diameter and suitable for soil and waste applications.

Care: To maintain the functionality and appearance of the access cap, periodically clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic. Ensure the screw threads on the cap and housing remain free of debris to allow for easy opening and secure closure. Periodically check that the cap is fully tightened after any maintenance access has been completed.
