What is a 110mm Drainage Access Pipe Used For?
A 110mm drainage access pipe is a specialized section of piping used to provide a point of entry into an underground sewer or surface water system. Also known as an inspection pipe or rodding point, it is essential for the long-term health of a drainage network. By installing a 110mm drainage access pipe at strategic intervals or near bends, homeowners and contractors can easily insert drainage rods to clear blockages or perform CCTV inspections without cutting into the existing pipework.
Advantages of the Double Socket Design
This specific 110mm drainage access pipe is a “double socket” fitting. It features internal captive rubber seals at both ends, allowing it to be installed seamlessly between two plain-ended 110mm (4-inch) pipes. The push-fit mechanism provides a flexible, watertight joint that accommodates ground movement. The central access hatch is sealed with a threaded, airtight screw-cap, ensuring that no foul smells or water can escape while under pressure.
Engineered for Durability and Accessibility
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we understand that drainage fittings must be “fit and forget” yet easily accessible. Our 110mm drainage access pipe is manufactured from high-impact, unplasticized PVC (PVC-U), making it completely resistant to the chemical corrosion found in domestic waste and the acidic nature of UK soils. It is fully compliant with UK Building Regulations Part H, which dictates the necessity of access points in gravity-fed drainage systems.
