Polypipe Rainwater Connector - UG254 - Terracotta

The UG254 connector is designed to join a 68mm rainwater downpipe to a 110mm underground soil pipe, facilitating the transfer of water into the drainage system.

The connector is manufactured from durable PVCu (Polyvinyl chloride), which is known for its strength and longevity in drainage applications.

While primarily designed for underground drainage, its robust PVCu construction can make it suitable for certain above-ground applications. However, professional advice should be sought to ensure suitability for exposed conditions and connections.

The connector is designed for a 68mm rainwater pipe on one end and a 110mm soil pipe on the other. The physical dimensions of the product are H:135.0 x W:135.0 x D:56.0 cm.

This specific model, UG254, comes in a traditional terracotta colour. It is designed to blend with traditional drainage systems.

Installation is straightforward thanks to its push-fit joint design, which allows for a simple and secure connection without the need for solvent cement or mechanical fixings in most standard installations.

Where applicable, Polypipe underground drainage pipes and fittings, including this connector, hold relevant approvals and certifications such as BS EN 1401 and BS 4660:2000.

Ensure both pipe ends and the connector sockets are clean and free of obstructions. Use a silicone lubricant on the pipe spigot to aid insertion. Verify that you are using the correct pipe sizes (68mm and 110mm).

Disassemble the connection and reassemble, ensuring pipes are pushed fully into the sockets. Check for any damage to the pipe ends or the connector seals. If damage is found, replace the affected component.

Confirm that the pipes are indeed 68mm and 110mm respectively, as specified. Ensure the pipes are straight and not deformed. Use a silicone lubricant to help slide the pipes into the sockets.
