The Tuscan Mechanical BS416 Soil range is a coupling-jointed cast iron soil and waste system, dimensionally compatible with BS 416 pipework. Plain-ended pipes and fittings are joined with bolted ductile iron couplings, so there are no caulked or sealed sockets. A stack goes together quickly, and individual fittings can be taken out later without disturbing the rest of the run. Conversion couplings join it to existing socketed LCC pipe, which makes it a practical choice for repairs and extensions to older stacks as well as new work.
A straight access pipe with a bolted rectangular door. The large opening gives good room for rodding and inspection.

Typical use: Access points on stacks and drains, particularly larger diameters and long runs.

| 150mm | MS6049 | 13.5 kg |

It is available in 100mm (MS4049), 150mm (MS6049).
At the foot of each stack, at changes of direction that cannot otherwise be rodded, and at intervals along long runs. Fit them where the door can still be reached after boxing in.
The rectangular door gives a larger opening, which helps on bigger pipes and where tools need room. The round door is more compact.
