LCC Soil Wire Pipe Balloon

The wire balloon is a domed galvanised wire guard that sits in the open top of a soil vent pipe. It lets the stack ventilate while keeping out birds, nests, leaves and debris.

It pushes into the pipe end at the head of the stack. Balloons corrode and break up over time, so checking and replacing them is part of routine maintenance, particularly where a stack vents near trees or roosting birds.

Fit one to every open vent terminal on a traditional LCC stack. Where a cast iron termination is preferred on a 100mm stack, the LCC soil cowl is the alternative.

Sizes: 50mm (2″), 65mm (2½″), 75mm (3″), 90mm (3½″), 100mm (4″) and 150mm (6″).

Part of our Traditional LCC soil system to BS 416-1:1990.
