A cast iron LCC soil pipe length with a bolted oval access door for rodding the stack.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The LCC access pipe is a length of cast iron soil pipe with a bolted oval access door, giving a rodding point in a straight run of the stack.
Fit it where a blockage would otherwise mean breaking joints: above a bend at the foot of the stack, below a group of branches, or at any change in direction that cannot be reached from a gully or chamber. The door is bedded on a gasket and held with set screws; replacement doors and gaskets are available.
Where access is needed at the junction itself, specify a bend with door or a branch with door instead.
Sizes: 50mm (2″), 65mm (2½″), 75mm (3″), 90mm (3½″), 100mm (4″) and 150mm (6″).
Cast iron to BS 416-1:1990, supplied with a black bitumen coating as standard. Bitumen cannot be reliably overpainted; where the stack is to be painted, ask about our Traditional Express push-fit system.
Suitable for listed buildings and conservation area work. For specification advice, a full schedule or a quotation, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.

LCC is traditional cast iron socket-and-spigot soil pipe made to BS 416-1:1990. Each length has a socket at one end and a spigot at the other, and joints are packed with caulking cord and finished with a jointing sealant. It is supplied with a black bitumen coating and is the like-for-like choice for external soil stacks on Victorian and Edwardian buildings. See the Traditional LCC range.
Traditional Express (TX) is a cast iron push-fit soil system. Socketless pipes are joined with push-fit sockets and couplings using rubber seals, so there is no caulking on site. LCC uses caulked socket-and-spigot joints and a bitumen coating. TX is quicker to install and can be painted; LCC is the closer match to an original Victorian stack. Our Traditional Express vs LCC guide compares the two in detail.
Traditional Express can be painted, including in our linseed oil finish. LCC is supplied with a black bitumen coating, which cannot be reliably overpainted with conventional paints; maintain it with a compatible bituminous paint. Where a painted soil stack is required, specify Traditional Express.
LCC soil pipe and fittings are available in 50mm, 65mm, 75mm, 90mm, 100mm and 150mm. Traditional Express is available in 50mm and 100mm. LCC pipe comes in 1829mm, 1219mm, 914mm and 610mm lengths, with eared and plain double socket lengths for cutting on site.
Yes. Cast iron is the original material for external soil stacks on most period buildings, and like-for-like replacement in cast iron is usually what conservation officers expect. Check with your local planning authority whether listed building consent is needed for the works.
Eared LCC pipe is fixed through ears cast on the socket. Plain LCC pipe is fixed with holdfasts driven into the mortar joint, screw-to-wall holderbats, build-in holderbats or loose ears. Fix every length below the socket so each joint is supported. Traditional Express uses adjustable brackets.
