FloPlast Ring Seal 135 Deg Bend Socket/Spigot – SP163 110mm

Compact offsets on a soil stack start with the FloPlast Ring Seal 135 Deg Bend Socket/Spigot SP163, which turns a 110mm soil pipe through 45 degrees, with a Push-Fit Ring Seal socket at its upper end and a spigot below.

Why choose the FloPlast Ring Seal 135 Deg Bend Socket/Spigot SP163

The spigot end goes directly into the socket of the next fitting, so two of these can form a compact offset without a short length of pipe between them. That is handy when a stack has to jog round a wall plate or the eaves.

On a vertical stack, fit it with the socket facing up so water runs over the joint. Chamfer cut pipe ends, use silicone lubricant and push each joint fully home before easing back slightly.

Fix clips above and below the bend, since an offset puts a sideways load on the stack.

Check you have the socket and spigot version rather than the double socket one before you start, as the two are easy to mix up on a busy job.

Common Questions

SP163 or SP563: what is the difference?

The SP163 pairs a socket with a spigot, so it pushes straight into the next fitting. The SP563 has two sockets and needs pipe on both sides.

How can I tell the spigot has gone fully into the socket?

Mark the spigot at socket depth before fitting and check the mark reaches the mouth. Then ease it back slightly, as FloPlast’s fixing guide asks, to leave room for expansion.

Will the SP163 fit another maker’s 110mm soil pipe?

FloPlast state their 110mm systems are compatible with other manufacturers. Still, push it together dry first to check the fit.
