What is a 110mm Socket Plug used for?
A 110mm socket plug (also referred to as a blanking plug or stopend) is used to close off the open “female” end of a drainage fitting. Unlike a spigot cap which fits over a pipe, the socket plug is a “male” fitting designed to be inserted into a socket. It is the go-to solution for terminating a branch in a soil stack or sealing a redundant underground drainage line.
Maintaining System Integrity and Safety
In any waste management system, preventing the escape of sewer gases (methane) is a top priority. This socket plug stopend works in conjunction with the existing rubber ring seal of your socket to create a high-pressure, airtight bond. This ensures your property remains compliant with UK Building Regulations Part H while maintaining the necessary vacuum for efficient drainage flow.
Designed for Future-Proofing and Testing
Whether you are extending a bathroom in the future or isolating a section of pipework for maintenance, this plug offers a professional finish. It features a robust, easy-grip rear design, making it simple to insert and remove—ideal for air and water pressure testing on new builds before final backfilling or concealment.
