Description
110mm Socket Plug Cap for Underground Drainage
The
socket plug cap is a versatile 2 in 1 fitting for closing compatible 110mm underground drainage sockets or capping plain pipe ends. The Pipelife 1196900512 dual cap plug is designed so one side can fit into a compatible socket while the opposite side can fit over a compatible pipe spigot. This makes it a useful fitting for blanking unused drainage connections, closing pipework during repairs and protecting future connection points until additional drainage work is required.

How the 2 in 1 Socket Plug Cap Works
The fitting has a dual-sided design. One side is shaped to insert into a compatible 110mm underground drainage socket, while the opposite side fits over the plain spigot end of compatible 110mm pipe. This allows one fitting to perform the role of both a socket blanking plug and a pipe end cap, reducing the need to keep separate closure fittings for each type of connection.
Where to Use the Socket Plug Cap
Use the fitting where an unused underground drainage connection needs to be closed or protected. Typical applications include:
- Blanking unused 110mm drainage sockets
- Capping plain-ended 110mm drainage pipe
- Protecting future drainage connections
- Temporary closure during groundwork
- Drainage repairs and alterations
- Foul drainage installations
- Surface water drainage installations
- New-build underground drainage systems
Socket Plug Cap for Future Connections
The dual cap is particularly useful where a drainage run has been installed with a connection reserved for future work. The open connection can be closed until the next section of pipework is ready to be installed. This helps prevent soil, stones and general site debris from entering otherwise open drainage pipework during construction.
Installing the Socket Plug Cap
Before installation, check that the socket or pipe end is compatible with the 110mm Pipelife fitting. Clean both surfaces and remove grit, soil or other debris. When fitting the plug into a ring-seal socket, check that the sealing ring is clean and correctly positioned. Apply a suitable silicone drainage lubricant where required and push the plug squarely into the socket. When using the opposite side as a pipe cap, make sure the pipe end is clean and undamaged before pushing the cap fully into position.
Socket Plug/Cap Material and Colour
The Pipelife 110mm combi cap is manufactured from PVC and supplied in a brown / red-brown underground drainage finish, matching conventional below-ground drainage pipework. The compact plastic construction makes the fitting easy to handle and quick to install during drainage work.
Pipelife Socket Plug/Cap Product Code
The correct current Pipelife manufacturer reference for the 110mm dual cap plug is
1196900512. Older Pipelife documentation used different six-digit product codes. The old 110mm dual cap plug was listed as 720030, while 720098 referred to the 160mm version. The newer 1196900512 reference should therefore be used for this 110mm listing.
