The 92.5-degree angle provides a slight fall to support a self-cleansing flow within the pipe system. This fitting features an easy-to-remove threaded access cap that allows for quick maintenance and blockage clearance. The design includes a ring-seal push-fit socket on one end and a plain spigot on the other, which is compatible with standard 110mm soil pipe and fittings.

The FloPlast 110mm Ring Seal Soil Access Bend in Anthracite Grey is an essential plumbing component for homeowners and contractors looking to manage and maintain 110mm PVC soil pipe systems. Its primary benefit is the combination of a 92.5-degree directional change and a built-in access point, which simplifies routine maintenance and blockage clearance without requiring system disassembly. While highly durable and easy to install, users should note that it is specifically designed for 110mm pipe diameters and may require lubrication for the push-fit connections to ensure a watertight seal.

FAQs
What pipe size is this compatible with?
This fitting is designed exclusively for standard 110mm PVC soil pipes.
Does this require glue for installation?
No, it is a push-fit system utilizing a ring seal. Glue is not required and should generally be avoided.
Can this be used underground?
This is primarily a soil system component for internal or external wall-mounted use. Check local building regulations if planning an underground installation.
What is the purpose of the 92.5-degree angle?
The slight extra 2.5 degrees beyond a right angle provides a necessary slope to ensure water and waste continue to flow effectively.
Is the access cap watertight?
Yes, when tightened correctly, the cap creates a seal to prevent odors and leaks from escaping the pipe system.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the connection point
Check that the pipe is pushed fully into the socket and that the ring seal is properly seated and not pinched.
Access cap is difficult to unscrew
Apply a gentle, steady counter-clockwise force. If seized, use a damp cloth to clean debris from the threads and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Allows easy maintenance access to pipes without dismantling the system
Provides a 92.5-degree angle to assist with effective gravity drainage
Compatible with all standard 110mm soil pipe and fitting systems
Durable PVC material ensures resistance to environmental factors
Cons
Requires proper alignment for a secure seal
Limited to 110mm pipe sizes only
Rubber seals may require periodic inspection or lubrication to remain supple
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the pipe end is clean, dry, and free from sharp edges or burrs that could tear the ring seal.
Connection: Push the plain spigot end into the existing pipe socket. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pipe end if the fit is too tight to reduce friction.
Alignment: Ensure the access cap is easily reachable after installation so that you do not have to perform awkward movements if you need to access the pipe later.
Maintenance: Periodically check the threaded access cap to ensure it remains hand-tight. Do not over-tighten, as this may strip the plastic threads. If the cap becomes stiff, a light application of silicone grease to the threads can help.
