FAQs

What size hole saw do I need for the blank ports?

You will need a 54mm hole saw to drill out the blanked-off ports on the boss pipe.

What types of adaptors can be used with this boss pipe?

This boss pipe is compatible with FloPlast's SP10, SP11, and SP12 rubber boss adaptors, as well as their SP20, SP21, and SP22 solvent weld boss adaptors.

How does the boss pipe connect to the soil stack?

The boss pipe has a ring seal push-fit socket on the top end for connecting into a socketed fitting or pipe, and a plain spigot end at the bottom to connect into the socketed end of another fitting or pipe.

Can I connect more than one waste pipe to this boss pipe?

Yes, the boss pipe comes with one open port and additional blank ports that can be drilled out, allowing for multiple waste pipe connections.

Is this product suitable for above-ground use only?

While designed for soil stacks which can be underground, its materials and connections are suitable for both above-ground and underground applications provided correct installation practices are followed.

What is the main benefit of this specific boss pipe?

Its main benefit is the flexibility it offers, with multiple blank ports that can be drilled to accommodate specific installation needs, alongside compatibility with different adaptor types.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty connecting to the soil stack

Ensure both the soil stack pipe and the boss pipe's spigot end or socket are clean and free of debris. For socket connections, ensure the pipe is fully inserted. Lubricant can aid insertion if needed.

Leak at the adaptor connection

Verify the correct adaptor is used and securely fitted. If using a rubber seal adaptor, ensure the seal is correctly seated. If using a solvent weld adaptor, ensure surfaces are clean and appropriate solvent cement has been applied correctly and allowed to cure.

Water pooling around the boss pipe

Check the integrity of the ring seal on the socket connection and the spigot joint. Ensure the boss pipe itself is not cracked. All connections must be watertight.

Hole saw not cutting cleanly

Ensure the 54mm hole saw is sharp and suitable for cutting plastic. Apply steady pressure and consider using a cutting fluid if necessary. Wear appropriate safety gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Connection Point: Determine where the boss pipe will connect to the existing 110mm soil stack. Ensure sufficient space and access.
  2. Prepare Ports: If using a blank port, drill a 54mm hole using a hole saw. Clean any debris from the opening.
  3. Install Adaptor: Fit the appropriate rubber boss adaptor (SP10, SP11, SP12) or solvent weld adaptor (SP20, SP21, SP22) into the desired port. Ensure a tight seal.
  4. Connect Waste Pipe: Connect the incoming waste pipe to the installed adaptor.
  5. Connect to Soil Stack: Connect the boss pipe's ring seal socket to the top of the soil stack fitting or pipe. Connect the boss pipe's spigot end to the socketed end of the next section of soil stack pipework.
  6. Test for Leaks: After installation, perform a water test to check all connections for leaks.

Compatibility:

  • Pipe Size: Designed for 110mm diameter soil stack systems.
  • Adaptors: Compatible with FloPlast SP10, SP11, SP12 (rubber seal) and SP20, SP21, SP22 (solvent weld) boss adaptors.
  • Drilling: Blank ports require a 54mm hole saw.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Periodically check for blockages in the waste pipe connections. Flush with water as needed. Avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners that could damage seals or pipework.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the ring seal and any adaptor connections for signs of wear or leakage.
