Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure that your existing soil vent pipe is cut square and the surface is free of dust, oil, or debris. Use a fine-grade abrasive paper to lightly key the mating surfaces of both the terminal and the pipe end. Apply an appropriate solvent weld cement evenly to both surfaces, then push the terminal firmly onto the pipe. Hold it in position for a few seconds to allow the initial bond to set. The terminal is designed for use with standard solvent weld soil systems; if you are working with push-fit pipework, you may need a specific converter. No ongoing care is required, though a visual inspection from the ground once a year is recommended to ensure the mesh remains clear of heavy organic growth like moss.
