Polypipe Solvent Soil Coupler - 110mm - Black

Its primary purpose is to create a strong, permanent, and leak-proof joint between two sections of 110mm PVCu soil and vent pipe, especially in applications requiring high security.

No special tools are required beyond standard pipe cutters, sandpaper/emery cloth for preparation, and applicators for the solvent cement.

Yes, it is suitable for use with PVCu soil and vent pipes which are part of a waste water drainage system.

The initial set takes around 30 seconds to allow you to release pressure, but full cure times vary depending on the solvent cement used and ambient conditions. Always refer to the cement manufacturer's guidelines.

No, this coupler is designed for cold waste water and soil discharge systems (PVCu). It is not rated for hot water applications.

No, once solvent cement is applied and the joint is made, it creates a permanent bond and cannot be reused or disassembled without cutting.

Solvent weld creates a permanent, fused joint using chemical bonding, offering superior security. Push-fit systems use rubber seals and mechanical connections, allowing for disassembly but potentially offering less long-term rigidity.

Ensure the pipe was fully inserted and held during initial set. Re-check if pipes were clean and properly prepared before gluing. If the leak is minor and occurs very soon after, a small amount of additional solvent weld might be applied carefully, but a full re-do is often best for permanent fixes.

Verify that the pipe ends and coupler socket are the correct size (110mm). Ensure no debris is obstructing the socket. Check if the pipe has been deformed or if the coupler has been damaged.

Confirm that the correct type of solvent cement for PVCu was used and that it has not expired. Ensure surfaces were clean, dry, and adequately primed/prepared before application. The joint must be held for the initial 30 seconds.
