Product Information
Full details
The Polypipe 110mm Soil Weathering Apron in Grey is designed for homeowners and tradespeople to ensure weather-tight sealing on soil and vent pipe installations where they penetrate exterior surfaces. Its key benefit is providing dependable weatherproofing and seamless integration with Polypipe's extensive soil and vent systems. A minor consideration is its specific grey color, which is part of a system and may not match all existing external finishes.

FAQs
What size soil pipe does this weathering apron fit?
This weathering apron is specifically designed for 110mm diameter soil pipes.
What is the main purpose of a soil weathering apron?
Its main purpose is to provide weatherproofing and prevent water ingress where soil and vent pipes penetrate external surfaces like roofs and walls.
Can I use this with other brands of soil pipes?
While it is designed for 110mm pipes, it is engineered to integrate best with Polypipe's own soil and vent systems for guaranteed compatibility and performance.
What color is the weathering apron?

Does this product require special tools for installation?
Installation typically involves standard plumbing tools. Refer to specific Polypipe installation guides for detailed requirements.
How often should I check the weathering apron?
It is recommended to inspect the apron periodically, especially after periods of severe weather, to ensure it remains secure and free from damage.
Is this suitable for underground use?
No, this weathering apron is designed for external penetrations through roofs and walls to protect against weather, not for underground applications.
Troubleshooting
Apron does not seal effectively.
Ensure the apron is the correct size for the pipe (110mm) and is fully seated. Check for any debris or damage that might be preventing a watertight seal. Ensure adequate overlap with the surrounding surface.
Water ingress around the pipe penetration.
Verify that the weathering apron is correctly installed and that the surrounding seal is intact. Check if the apron is properly secured and that no gaps exist between the apron and the pipe or the building surface.
Apron appears loose or damaged.
Inspect for any signs of damage. If loose, re-secure according to installation best practices. If damaged, replacement with a new Polypipe weathering apron is recommended.
