FloPlast 110mm Single Socket Soil Pipe

This is FloPlast 110mm soil pipe with a ring seal socket on one end and a plain end on the other. It comes in 3m and 4m lengths, in white, black or grey. It suits plumbers and builders putting up or replacing a soil stack, inside or outside the house.

Each length pushes into the socket of the next, so straight runs need no separate coupler. Work from the bottom up with the sockets facing upwards. Cut from the plain end, square it off and file a chamfer so it does not push the seal out of place. Lubricate the end, push it home and draw it back a little to leave room for expansion. It is PVC-U, light to carry up a ladder, and it works with the rest of the FloPlast soil and drainage range.

We keep lengths in stock at our Glasgow shop, so you can take what you need away the same day. Collect from the shop, or order online.

Common Questions

What is a soil pipe used for? It carries toilet waste down to the drain, and it often takes basin, bath and sink waste too. This FloPlast pipe is 110mm PVC-U for above ground use.

Can you replace a soil pipe? Yes, and this pipe works with the rest of the FloPlast soil and drainage range. Work from the bottom up with each socket facing upwards.

Why does a soil pipe need a vent? Venting lets air into the stack so the water in the traps isn’t sucked out when it’s in use. That keeps drain smells out of the house.

What is a socket in plumbing? It’s the wider end of a pipe or fitting that another pipe pushes into. On this soil pipe the socket has a ring seal, so lengths join without a separate coupler.

Which way up does single socket soil pipe go? Socket at the top. The plain end of the next length drops into it, so water running down never meets an open joint edge.

How do I cut 110mm soil pipe straight? Wrap paper or tape round the pipe with the edges lined up and mark along it. Cut with a fine tooth saw, square the end and file a chamfer so the seal isn’t pushed out of place.

Should I push the pipe fully into the socket? Push it home, then draw it back slightly. That small gap gives the pipe room to expand.
