Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Ring Seal Soil Access Bend is an essential component for DIYers and professional plumbers looking to manage 110mm PVC soil systems efficiently. It allows for a 92.5-degree change in pipe direction while providing a critical maintenance access point, ensuring that blockages can be cleared without dismantling the entire pipework. While its cast iron effect finish offers a sophisticated aesthetic, users must ensure the pipework is properly supported to prevent sagging due to the weight of the system, despite the PVC construction.

FAQs

Is this bend compatible with standard solvent weld systems?

This is a push-fit ring seal fitting. While it can connect to standard 110mm systems, it is not a solvent weld fitting.

Does it rust like real cast iron?

No, the fitting is made of high-quality PVC with a cast iron effect finish, so it will not rust.

Can I use this for underground drainage?

This product is specifically designed for above-ground soil and vent systems.

What tools do I need for installation?

A hacksaw to cut the pipe, a file to deburr the edges, and silicone lubricant are the primary tools required.

How often should I inspect the access point?

Inspection frequency depends on usage, but checking it once every 12 months is standard practice for residential systems.

Troubleshooting

The connection is leaking at the ring seal.

Ensure the pipe is inserted fully, the seal is free of debris, and use a proper pipe lubricant.

The threaded access cap is stuck.

Gently tap the cap with a rubber mallet to break the seal or use a strap wrench to gain better leverage.

Water is pooling at the bend.

Check that the pipe has the correct gradient/fall and add additional pipe clips to prevent sagging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies routine maintenance through easy access
  • Looks like traditional cast iron without the maintenance requirements
  • Fast installation with ring seal push-fit connections
  • Self-cleansing design angle
  • Extremely durable PVC material

Cons

  • Not compatible with non-110mm pipe systems
  • Cast iron effect finish may show scratches if handled roughly
  • Requires proper pipe clips to maintain the required fall angle

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your 110mm soil pipe is cut cleanly and deburred. Lubricate the ring seal using a silicone-based pipe lubricant before inserting the plain spigot end into the socket. The bend should be secured using standard 110mm pipe brackets to ensure the system does not move or shift over time. For care, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to maintain the cast iron effect appearance. If an inspection is required, use a wrench to carefully unscrew the access cap, ensuring you do not overtighten it when replacing the seal to prevent cracking the threads.
