The spigot end is the same size as 110mm pipe, allowing it to connect into socketed ends of other fittings or pipes.

Is this product suitable for DIY installation?
Yes, with basic plumbing knowledge and the correct tools, it is suitable for DIY installation, particularly the ring seal push-fit connections.
Troubleshooting
Leaking joint
Ensure all connections are fully seated. For solvent weld joints, re-check primer and cement application and curing time. For ring seal joints, ensure the seal is clean and undamaged.
Difficulty connecting pipes
Apply a silicone lubricant to the spigot and socket. Ensure no debris is present in the socket. Check that the pipe being connected is also 110mm and is not deformed.
Hole drilled is too large or uneven
Use a rubber adaptor with a larger sealing area if possible, or consider replacing the boss pipe. Ensure future drilling is done with a sharp, appropriately sized hole saw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the soil stack is prepared for connection, typically by cutting to accommodate the boss pipe.
