Traditional Express Soil Pipe System Push Fit Slip Socket Eared
CODE TX4016SE Category

Push Fit Slip Socket Eared

£68.90 ex VAT (£82.68 inc VAT)

An eared slip socket for repairs and insertions on a 100mm Traditional Express cast iron soil stack.

UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.

The Traditional Express slip socket is an eared push-fit socket with no internal stop, so it can slide fully onto one pipe and then back over the joint. That lets a new fitting or a replacement length be dropped into an existing stack without dismantling it.

Use it when adding a branch to a finished stack or replacing a damaged section. It carries cast ears for fixing to the wall, like the standard eared socket.

Size: 100mm (4″).

Cast iron to BS 416, with rubber joint seals to BS EN 681-1. Supplied in a factory black finish that can be overpainted, including in our linseed oil finish.

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.

All FAQ
What is a push-fit slip socket eared used for?
The slip socket eared provides an expansion joint within a Traditional Express soil pipe run, allowing the pipe to move axially as cast iron expands and contracts with temperature. The eared flange gives an additional fixing point to secure the joint.
When is a slip socket needed on a soil pipe run?
A slip socket is typically specified on longer vertical or horizontal runs where thermal movement needs to be accommodated, or where the pipe passes through a structural element and some tolerance for movement is required.
Is the Traditional Express range suitable for listed buildings?
Yes. Traditional Express is a cast iron push-fit soil system made to BS 416, with rubber joint seals to BS EN 681-1, and is appropriate for listed buildings, conservation areas and heritage projects.
What finish does the slip socket eared come in?
It is supplied with a pre-painted black gloss finish as standard. Please contact us to discuss alternative finish requirements.
