Product Information

Full details

The LavaTap Flex Seal Rubber Coupler is an essential plumbing component for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need to join 110mm waste and soil pipes reliably. Its primary benefit lies in its flexible material composition, which allows for quick connections between disparate pipe materials such as plastic, cast iron, and steel while accounting for minor alignment errors. While it provides an excellent seal, users must ensure the pipe surfaces are clean and debris-free before installation to guarantee a watertight result in challenging, tight spaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this coupler be used on pressurized water lines?

No, this product is specifically designed for waste and soil pipes, which are gravity-fed or low-pressure systems.

What is the diameter of the coupler?

The coupling is designed to fit standard 110mm waste and soil pipes.

Are the stainless steel clips included?

Yes, each unit comes with two high-quality stainless steel jubilee clips.

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes, the rubber and stainless steel materials are durable enough for outdoor use in standard soil and waste applications.

Do I need pipe sealant or glue?

Generally, no. The compression provided by the rubber sleeve and jubilee clips is intended to create a seal without the need for additional adhesives.

Can it join pipes of different materials?

Yes, it is designed to bridge different materials such as connecting an older cast iron stack to modern plastic piping.

Troubleshooting

The coupling is sliding off the pipe.

Ensure the jubilee clips are tightened sufficiently and check that the coupling is centered equally over both pipe ends.

A slow leak persists at the joint.

Loosen the clips, clean any debris or sealant residue from the pipe surface, reposition the rubber sleeve, and tighten the clips again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Accommodates minor pipe misalignments
  • Works with multiple pipe materials
  • Installation requires minimal tools
  • Corrosion-resistant components for longevity
  • Perfect for tight or restricted access areas

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-pressure water mains
  • Requires proper surface preparation for a perfect seal
  • Rubber can degrade if exposed to certain harsh chemical solvents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Ensure the pipe ends are cut square and are free from burrs or jagged edges.
  2. Thoroughly clean the exterior of both pipe ends to ensure the rubber makes direct contact with the pipe surface.
  3. Slide the coupler onto one pipe end until it is deep enough to allow the second pipe to be inserted.
  4. Align the pipes, slide the coupler so it is centered over the joint, and position the stainless steel jubilee clips.
  5. Tighten the clips evenly using a screwdriver until the band is snug. Avoid overtightening to prevent damaging the rubber or stripping the clip threads.

For care, periodically inspect the jubilee clips for signs of oxidation if located in high-moisture environments. Ensure no heavy objects are pressing against the coupling that might create an uneven seal over time.
