FAQs
What is the main purpose of a 3-way boss pipe?
A 3-way boss pipe is used to create a junction, allowing a pipe to branch off in two directions from a main run, effectively connecting multiple waste sources to a single drainage line.
Can this fitting be used with other brands of soil pipe?
While it is designed for the Polypipe PolySoil® system, it may be compatible with other 110mm pipes and fittings adhering to British Standards for push-fit and solvent weld systems. Always check specifications for certainty.
What is the difference between push-fit and solvent weld connections?
Push-fit connections use a rubber seal for a watertight joint that can be easily assembled and disassembled. Solvent weld uses a chemical cement to permanently fuse the pipe and fitting together, creating a very strong, long-lasting bond.
Is this fitting suitable for underground use?
The PVC-U material is suitable for drainage applications. However, for underground installations, ensure compliance with local building regulations and consider protection against ground movement or impact.
How do I prepare the pipe for a solvent weld joint?
Ensure the pipe end is cut square and free from burrs. Lightly chamfer the outside edge of the pipe. Clean the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket with a suitable cleaner/primer before applying solvent cement.
What is the 'short boss' configuration?
The 'short boss' refers to the relatively short length of the branch outlets from the main fitting body, which can help in situations where space is limited or a more compact arrangement is desired.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting (push-fit)
Ensure the pipe end is clean, free from burrs, and chamfered slightly. Lubricant can be used sparingly if needed. Check for obstructions inside the fitting.
Leak at connection
For push-fit, ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the seal is intact. For solvent weld, the joint may not have bonded properly; re-cut and re-weld if necessary after ensuring correct surface preparation and cement application.
Fitting doesn't connect securely
Verify that both the pipe and fitting are the correct size (110mm) and compatible types (push-fit or solvent weld). Ensure no debris is present within the connection areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure pipes are clean and cut square.
For push-fit connections, insert the pipe end firmly into the fitting until it seats fully.
For solvent weld connections, apply Polypipe universal solvent cement evenly to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket. Assemble immediately with a slight twisting motion and hold for 30 seconds to allow initial bonding. Full cure times should be observed as per the cement manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility:
Compatible with Polypipe's 110mm PolySoil® system.
Can be used with other 110mm pipes and fittings designed for push-fit or solvent weld connections, provided they meet relevant standards.
Care:
The PVC-U material is low maintenance. Periodically check connections for any signs of leaks or damage.
Clean exterior surfaces with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
