FAQs
What is the main purpose of a 3-way short boss pipe?
A 3-way short boss pipe allows you to connect three pipes together in a Y-shaped configuration, typically used for branching a soil pipe run or creating a junction within a drainage system.
Can I use this fitting with different types of soil pipes?
This fitting is designed for 110mm soil pipes and integrates best with the Polypipe PolySoil® range. Compatibility with other brands should be verified to ensure a secure seal.
What are the installation options?
The Polypipe Soil 3 Way Short Boss Pipe supports both push-fit ring seal and solvent weld installation methods, offering flexibility for different project requirements.
Do I need special tools for installation?
For push-fit, basic pipe cutting tools are needed. For solvent weld, you will need a pipe cutter, deburring tool, primer, and solvent cement, along with appropriate safety gear.
Is this fitting suitable for underground use?
While designed for soil and vent systems, the suitability for underground burial depends on local building regulations and the overall system design. Always consult relevant codes and standards.
What is the difference between push-fit and solvent weld?
Push-fit relies on a rubber seal within the fitting for a watertight connection, allowing for quick assembly. Solvent weld uses a chemical process to fuse the pipe and fitting together, creating a permanent and robust joint.
How do I clean this fitting if it gets dirty?
The fitting can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents on the exterior.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the joint
For push-fit, ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the seal is correctly positioned. For solvent weld, check if the joint was held for the required duration and if sufficient cement was used. Re-joint if necessary after preparing the surfaces.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Ensure the pipe end and fitting socket are clean and free of debris. For push-fit, check for obstructions. For solvent weld, ensure primer has been applied correctly.
Fitting does not connect two pipes properly
Verify that all pipes being connected are 110mm in diameter and compatible with the fitting type. Ensure no obstructions are present within the fitting's sockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Ensure the ends of the pipes to be connected are clean, dry, and free from burrs. For solvent weld, use the appropriate primer and solvent cement.
Push-Fit Installation: Mark the insertion depth on the pipe. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting's socket until it reaches the internal stop. Ensure the ring seal is correctly seated.
Solvent Weld Installation: Apply primer to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket. Apply solvent cement evenly to both primed surfaces. Immediately push the pipe into the fitting with a quarter-turn twist to ensure even spread of cement. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent movement while the solvent weld sets.
Compatibility:
This fitting is designed for 110mm nominal bore soil and vent pipes.
It is fully compatible with the Polypipe PolySoil® range.
Check compatibility with non-Polypipe components to ensure a secure and leak-free system.
Ensure appropriate sealants or cements are used if mixing installation methods or brands.
Care:
The fitting requires minimal maintenance once installed.
Periodically check accessible joints for any signs of leakage or damage.
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
