This Polypipe 160mm Double Socket Coupling is designed for professional and DIY underground drainage installations, offering a durable and reliable solution for connecting pipes. Its key benefit lies in the innovative push-fit system that significantly speeds up installation. A minor consideration is that it's specifically designed for the Polypipe system, requiring compatibility checks with existing setups. This coupling is constructed from high-strength PVCu and features a terracotta finish, ensuring longevity and compliance with industry standards.

The coupling is manufactured from high-strength PVCu (Polyvinyl Chloride Unplasticised).
This is a 160mm diameter coupling.
While durable, this specific product is designed and tested for underground drainage applications. For above-ground systems, please consult Polypipe's product range for suitable alternatives.
It complies with industry standards including BS EN 1401 and BS 4660:2000 where applicable.
Push the pipe firmly into the socket until it meets the internal centre stop. A secure, watertight joint is achieved when the pipe is fully inserted.
The coupling is designed for optimal compatibility with the Polypipe underground drainage system. While 160mm is a standard size, performance with other brands is not guaranteed and compatibility should be verified.
Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pipe spigot. Check for any obstructions within the coupling socket. Ensure the pipe is being inserted squarely.
The pipe may not have been inserted fully to the centre stop. Disconnect and re-seat the pipe, ensuring it is pushed in completely and squarely. Check the rubber seal within the socket for damage or debris and clean if necessary.
Ensure the pipe is being pushed in straight and not at an angle. If the pipe is difficult to maneuver, ensure sufficient space is available for the push-fit action.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This coupling is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Polypipe range of 160mm underground drainage pipes and fittings. While its 160mm diameter is a standard, always verify compatibility with non-Polypipe systems before installation, especially regarding joint tolerances.
Care:
Once installed underground, the coupling requires no routine maintenance. However, periodic inspections of the drainage system, if accessible, can help identify any potential issues. Ensure the surrounding soil is compacted correctly after installation to provide adequate support.
