Product Information
Full details
The Polypipe 110mm Soil Socket Plug is designed for professional plumbers and DIY homeowners who need a reliable, leak-proof seal for 110mm soil and vent drainage systems. It provides an essential way to cap off unused socket ends, ensuring consistent waste flow and preventing the escape of foul odors within domestic plumbing setups. While it is highly durable and simple to install, users must ensure their existing system uses a standard 110mm push-fit ring seal design to guarantee a watertight connection.

FAQs
Is this plug compatible with solvent weld pipes?
This plug is specifically designed for push-fit ring seal systems. It may not provide a secure, watertight fit in a solvent weld socket.
Can this be used outdoors?
Yes, it is suitable for domestic drainage applications, including those in external soil and vent stacks.
Do I need to glue this into place?
No, it is a push-fit component that relies on the internal rubber seal to stay in place.
What does the 110mm measurement refer to?
This refers to the nominal outside diameter of the soil pipe, which is the standard size for most UK residential soil and waste systems.
Is this reusable?
Yes, if removed carefully without damaging the seal, the plug can be reinserted if the socket needs to be opened and closed again.
Troubleshooting
Plug is difficult to push into the socket
Ensure the socket is clean of grit and apply a small amount of silicone-based plumbing lubricant to the seal.
Water leakage detected around the plug
Check that the plug is pushed in fully and that the internal rubber ring seal is correctly seated and not pinched.
Pros and Cons

- Highly effective at preventing gas and odor leaks

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure the receiving socket is clean and free from sharp edges. It is recommended to use a small amount of silicone lubricant on the rubber ring seal if the plug is difficult to insert. This product is compatible with all standard 110mm push-fit soil systems. To maintain the plug, periodically inspect the seal area for signs of degradation or debris buildup. If the system is being re-opened for future plumbing, the plug can typically be removed by applying steady pressure and a slight twisting motion to break the friction of the seal.
