Product Information
Full details
The Polypipe 110mm Soil Single Socket Coupling (SH43W) is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on residential soil and vent drainage systems. Its key benefit is offering flexible installation options with both push-fit ring seal and solvent weld compatibility, ensuring a reliable connection. A potential consideration is that it's primarily intended for residential applications and may not be suitable for commercial or industrial-grade systems. This coupling is a vital component within the PolySoil® range, known for its high-grade PVCu construction and straightforward integration with other Polypipe soil system elements.

FAQs
What type of pipe does this coupling fit?
This coupling is designed for 110mm diameter PVCu soil and vent pipes, specifically those within the Polypipe PolySoil® range.
Can I use this coupling for both new installations and repairs?
Yes, the coupling can be used for both new installations and for connecting existing 110mm soil pipes during repairs, provided the pipe ends are compatible and in good condition.
What is the difference between push-fit and solvent weld installation?
Push-fit involves simply pushing the pipe into the socket with a rubber ring seal providing the watertight connection. Solvent weld uses a chemical cement to permanently fuse the pipe and fitting together.
Is this coupling suitable for underground drainage?
While designed for soil and vent systems, its suitability for direct underground drainage depends on the specific application and local building regulations. It is primarily intended for above-ground soil and vent runs.
What tools are needed for installation?
For push-fit, no special tools are typically needed beyond a pipe cutter and lubricant. For solvent weld, you will need a pipe cutter, deburring tool, applicator for the solvent cement, and the solvent cement itself.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
For push-fit, ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the ring seal is properly seated. For solvent weld, follow the instructions for applying the cement and holding the joint securely while it cures.
Where can I find other components for the PolySoil® system?
Other Polypipe PolySoil® components can typically be found through plumbing merchants and building supply stores that stock Polypipe products.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the joint
For push-fit joints, ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the ring seal is correctly seated and undamaged. For solvent weld joints, check if the bond has fully cured or if the joint was improperly made. Re-making the joint may be necessary.
Difficulty inserting pipe into socket
Ensure the pipe end is clean, not deformed, and slightly chamfered. Use a silicone lubricant designed for pipe insertion. If using solvent weld, ensure no excess cement is blocking the socket.
Ring seal appears damaged
Do not use the coupling if the ring seal is visibly torn or deformed. Replace the ring seal or the entire coupling if necessary.

- Ring seal may require lubrication for optimal push-fit assembly.
- Solvent weld joints are permanent and cannot be easily disassembled.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure pipe ends are clean, chamfered, and free from debris before assembly. For push-fit connections, apply a silicone lubricant to the pipe end and push it firmly into the socket until it reaches the limit. For solvent weld connections, apply a suitable solvent cement to both the pipe end and the inside of the socket, then twist and push the pipe into the socket and hold for 30 seconds to allow the bond to set. Refer to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for specific curing times.
Compatibility:
This coupling is designed for use with Polypipe's PolySoil® range of 110mm PVCu soil and vent pipes and fittings. It is compatible with both push-fit ring seal systems and solvent weld systems. Ensure all connecting pipes and fittings are also 110mm in diameter and made of compatible materials.
Care:
In normal operation, this product requires no routine maintenance. Periodically check accessible joints for any signs of leakage, especially after significant ground movement or system stress. Cleaning of visible exterior surfaces can be done with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
