Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting pipe into socket

Ensure the pipe end is clean, free of burrs, and slightly chamfered. Lubricant suitable for drainage seals can be applied to the seal if necessary. Confirm both components are 110mm diameter.

Leak detected at the joint

The pipe may not have been fully inserted. Disconnect and re-seat the pipe firmly into the socket until fully engaged. Check the integrity of the seal for damage.

Pipe does not stay in socket

Ensure the pipe has been pushed in fully past the retaining ribs within the socket. The snap-cap system ensures a secure fit once properly engaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies complex pipe runs with a short radius bend.
  • Fast and secure installation due to push-fit technology.
  • Durable and weather-resistant PVCu material.
  • Meets stringent UK and European standards.
  • Aesthetically pleasing terracotta finish for compatibility with existing systems.

Cons

  • Requires sufficient space to properly seat the push-fit joint.
  • Primarily designed for gravity drainage; not suitable for pressurized systems.
  • Terracotta finish may not match all modern pipe materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the ends of both the pipe and the socket are clean and free from debris. Lightly chamfer the spigot end of the pipe to ease insertion. Push the pipe firmly into the socket until it is fully seated against the internal stop. The integrated seal provides a watertight connection.

Compatibility: This 110mm bend is compatible with standard 110mm underground drainage pipes and fittings manufactured to BS EN 1401 and BS4660:2000 standards. It is suitable for use in gravity drainage and sewerage systems.

Care: As this is an underground component, minimal ongoing care is required. Periodically check for any surface damage during inspections. Ensure surrounding ground stability to prevent undue stress on the joint.
