Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary function of a soil vent terminal?
A soil vent terminal allows air into the drainage system to equalize pressure, preventing traps from being siphoned dry and ensuring smooth waste flow. It also allows foul air to escape safely via the terminal.
How do I connect the Polypipe Soil Vent Terminal?
It connects via a push-fit ring seal mechanism. Ensure the 110mm soil pipe spigot and the ring seal are lubricated, then firmly push the pipe into the terminal until fully seated.
Can I use this with pipes from other manufacturers?
While it is designed for 110mm pipes, for guaranteed performance and compatibility, it is recommended to use it with Polypipe's Universal Soil Fittings and Ancillaries.
Does the white color fade over time?
The white finish is designed for durability in standard outdoor conditions. Prolonged extreme UV exposure might cause some natural degradation over many years, but significant fading is not typical for this product under normal residential use.
What maintenance is required for the Soil Vent Terminal?
The main maintenance is ensuring the terminal opening is clear of debris like leaves or nests to maintain proper airflow. Cleaning the exterior with a damp cloth is sufficient.
Is this product suitable for commercial buildings?
This terminal is designed and specified for residential plumbing systems. For commercial applications, different specifications or larger bore systems might be required.
Troubleshooting
System smells coming from drains
Check that the Soil Vent Terminal is properly installed and that the ring seal is intact and seated correctly. Ensure the terminal opening is not obstructed by debris. Verify that the connected soil pipe is not leaking.
Slow draining of waste
Poor ventilation can cause slow draining. Ensure the vent terminal is clear of blockages and that the push-fit connection is secure, allowing for proper air exchange. Check for any internal blockages within the soil pipe system itself.
Water seal in traps is being siphoned
This indicates a lack of adequate ventilation. Confirm the Soil Vent Terminal is correctly installed at the system's high point and that it is not blocked. The system requires air to enter to equalize pressure during waste discharge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure the 110mm soil pipe is cut cleanly and free of burrs.
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the outside of the soil pipe spigot and the inside of the ring seal within the vent terminal.
Firmly push the soil pipe spigot into the ring seal of the Soil Vent Terminal until it is fully seated. Ensure the connection is secure and cannot be easily pulled apart.
If external pipework is required, use Polypipe's Universal Soil Fittings and appropriate fixings to secure the pipework and the terminal to the building.
Compatibility:
This terminal is designed to integrate seamlessly with Polypipe's Universal Soil Fittings and Ancillaries range.
It is compatible with standard 110mm push-fit ring seal soil and vent pipes.
Ensure any other components used in conjunction are also rated for soil and vent applications and conform to relevant building standards.
Care:
The exterior of the terminal can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic.
Periodically check that the terminal is not blocked by debris (e.g., leaves, nests) to ensure continuous ventilation. This is particularly important for terminals located in areas prone to obstructions. No internal maintenance is typically required beyond ensuring clear airflow.
