Pushfit Cast Iron Soil System

The pushfit cast iron soil system is a modern take on the traditional cast iron drainage system. It utilises pre-formed rubber seals to create watertight joints between the cast iron pipes and fittings, eliminating the need for molten lead used in older systems.

Manufactured to BS416 standard, our pushfit cast iron soil pipes and fittings ensure quality and durability. Unlike conventional lead-jointed systems, which require intricate and time-consuming installation processes, this system utilises advanced rubber sealing gaskets to create secure and watertight connections between plain-ended pipes and fittings.

The integration of rubber gasket technology not only streamlines installation but also enhances the system's overall performance. By eliminating the need for labour-intensive lead jointing, pushfit cast iron pipes significantly reduce installation time and associated costs, making it a cost-effective solution for projects of all scales.

Despite its modern construction, the push fit soil pipes maintain the classic appearance that is appreciated in historical and conservation settings. The pipes and fittings are crafted to replicate the visual characteristics of traditional lead-jointed systems, ensuring a seamless integration with existing architectural elements and preserving the authentic charm of heritage buildings.

Overall, pushfit cast iron pipes are a good option for those who are looking for a strong, durable, and easy-to-install drainage system. They are a particularly good choice for listed buildings or conservation projects where a traditional appearance is required.

Features & Benefits of Pushfit Cast Iron Soil Pipes

Ease of installation: Push-fit systems are significantly easier and faster to install than traditional cast iron systems.
Durability: Cast iron is incredibly strong and long-lasting, making it a perfect choice for drainage systems. It can withstand the rigors of construction and vandalism, and it will typically last for the lifetime of the building.
Low maintenance: Cast iron soil systems require very little maintenance. An annual inspection is recommended, but repairs are rarely necessary.
Soundproofing: Cast iron is a good sound insulator, so a push-fit cast iron soil system will help to reduce noise from drains.
Fire resistance: Cast iron is fire resistant, which can be an important safety consideration in some buildings.
Traditional appearance: Push-fit cast iron soil systems have the same look as traditional cast iron systems, making them a good choice for listed buildings or conservation projects.

Installation Guide

Installing the pushfit cast iron soil system is a straightforward process thanks to the push-fit sockets. To ensure secure attachment to the building, it's essential to incorporate at least one eared socket on each fitting when designing your soil stack layout.

Please bear in mind that all fittings and pipes have plain ends, so you'll need to use sockets at every joint. Sockets are available in either plain or eared variants, and there's also the option of a slip socket for integrating with existing soil stacks. For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the comprehensive Installation Guide provided.
