What does the FloPlast JCA01 adaptor do?

It connects 4" clay or saltglaze underground pipes to modern 110mm PVC-U systems, providing a watertight, flexible seal.

Is it suitable for repair work?

Yes. Ideal for repairs and transitions between clay and plastic systems, accommodating minor size irregularities in older pipework.

What size clay pipes will the JCA01 adaptor connect to?

The JCA01 is designed to connect 4 inch clay or saltglaze pipes to 110mm plastic drainage systems. It accommodates the typical size variations found in older clay pipe installations.

Can this adaptor be used above ground or is it underground only?

This adaptor is specifically designed for underground drainage applications only. It should not be used for above ground soil and vent pipe connections.

How much movement does the EPDM rubber compensate for between pipe sizes?

The flexible EPDM rubber construction allows for minor variations in pipe diameter and surface irregularities commonly found in clay pipes. It provides a secure seal even when pipes aren't perfectly aligned or sized.

Do I need any additional sealant or jointing compound with this adaptor?

No additional sealants are required as the EPDM rubber and stainless steel clamping system creates a watertight seal. The adaptor is designed to work without supplementary jointing materials.

Can the JCA01 be used to connect directly to inspection chamber inlets?

Yes, this adaptor is ideal for connecting existing clay drainage runs to modern plastic inspection chambers with 110mm inlets. It provides a reliable transition between the old and new systems.

What's the maximum depth this adaptor can be installed at underground?

The adaptor is suitable for standard underground drainage depths, typically up to 6 metres below ground level. Always ensure adequate bedding and backfill support around the connection point.

Will this fit Victorian clay pipes or just modern clay drainage?

The flexible design accommodates older Victorian clay pipes as well as more recent clay and saltglaze systems. The EPDM rubber construction adapts to the size variations and surface irregularities common in period drainage.

How do I ensure the stainless steel bands don't damage the clay pipe when tightening?

Tighten the bands gradually and evenly to avoid over-compression. The EPDM rubber acts as a cushion, but excessive force on brittle clay pipes should be avoided during installation.

The JCA01 4" Clay/Saltglaze to 4" Plastic Adaptor provides a secure and watertight connection between clay or saltglaze underground drainage pipes and modern 110mm PVC-U pipe systems.

Made from EPDM rubber with stainless steel clamping bands, this adaptor compensates for irregular pipe sizes and surface imperfections, ensuring a long-lasting seal in both new and existing underground systems.

It’s an ideal solution when repairing or upgrading clay drains, connecting to modern inspection chambers, or adapting existing lines to new plastic pipework.

Compatible with FloPlast and other standard underground drainage systems.
