What is a 110mm Access Plug used for?
A 110mm Access Plug (often called a “Rodding Eye” or “Screw-Cap Stopend”) is a specialized fitting used to terminate a section of pipework while providing a removable entry point. In the UK, building regulations often require access points at the head of a drain or at major changes in direction. This 4-inch plug allows plumbers and homeowners to insert drainage rods or inspection cameras into the system without having to dismantle the pipework.
Why Choose an Access Plug with a Nut?
At ECO HEAT SHOP LTD, we supply the “nut and cap” version of this stopend because it provides a superior mechanical seal. Unlike simple push-fit caps that can become displaced by back-pressure or ground movement, the 110mm Access Plug uses a threaded nut to compress a rubber gasket against the pipe body. This creates a gastight seal, which is crucial for internal soil vent pipes (SVP) where preventing sewer gas from entering the building is a priority.
Professional Installation & Maintenance Tips
Installing this 4-inch access plug is a simple process. The spigot end of the plug should be inserted into a 110mm socket using a silicone lubricant to protect the seal. When securing the cap, ensure the threads are clean and the internal washer is seated flat. For underground applications, ensure the access plug is positioned within a shallow access chamber or rodding eye terminal so it can be reached easily from the surface.
