FAQs

What material is the Polypipe 110mm Square Hopper made from?

The hopper is constructed from robust PVCu (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) for durability and longevity in underground applications.

What size pipe does the spigot end connect to?

The spigot end is 140mm in diameter and is designed to connect to compatible 140mm drainage pipes or fittings.

Does this hopper come with a seal?

Yes, it features an innovative seal and snap-cap system for secure, push-fit installation.

Is this product suitable for domestic or commercial underground drainage?

This is a professional-grade solution suitable for demanding underground drainage systems in both domestic and commercial projects.

What standards does this product meet?

The hopper meets BS EN 1401 and BS4660:2000 standards where applicable, ensuring certified performance.

How do I clean the integrated grid?

The integrated black grid can be cleaned by hand or with a brush to remove accumulated debris. Ensure the connection is secure after cleaning.

Can I paint the hopper to match my external decor?

PVCu is generally not recommended for painting. The hopper comes in a classic terracotta finish with a black grid. For alternative aesthetics, consider other products in the Polypipe drainage range.

Troubleshooting

Hopper is difficult to insert into pipework.

Ensure both the spigot and socket are clean and free from obstructions. Use a PVCu-compatible lubricant on the spigot. Check that the pipework socket is the correct 140mm size and is not deformed.

Leaking connection.

Ensure the spigot is fully inserted into the socket and the joint is secure. If the leak persists, check the integrity of the pipework socket and the condition of any seals if applicable. Re-seat the connection if necessary.

Debris accumulating rapidly in the hopper.

The integrated grid is functioning as designed. Clear the debris regularly. Consider if the surrounding area requires additional surface drainage or source control measures to reduce sediment load.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and long-lasting due to PVCu material.
  • Easy and quick installation with the push-fit system.
  • Meets relevant industry standards for reliable performance.
  • Integrated grid prevents larger debris ingress.
  • Part of a wider system for flexible project planning.

Cons

  • The terracotta finish may not suit all external aesthetics.
  • Primarily designed for underground drainage; suitability for above-ground applications may vary.
  • Specific spigot diameter (140mm) requires compatible pipework.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 140mm spigot end of the hopper is clean and free from debris.
  2. Apply a small amount of lubricant (compatible with PVCu) to the spigot end if necessary, especially in colder conditions.
  3. Insert the spigot end firmly into the corresponding 140mm socket of the adjacent pipework until it is fully engaged.
  4. Ensure the hopper is positioned to receive water flow correctly and is adequately supported within the trench.

Compatibility:

This hopper is designed to connect to 140mm diameter drainage pipes and fittings. It is part of the Polypipe underground drainage range, offering compatibility with other Polypipe PVCu drainage products. Always verify that connecting pipes and fittings are also rated for underground use and compatible with the 140mm spigot.

Care:

  • Periodically check the integrated grid for accumulated debris and clear as necessary.
  • The PVCu material is low maintenance; clean with water and a mild detergent if required. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
