6‑inch Clay to Plastic Adaptor

The 6‑inch clay to plastic adaptor provides a practical and secure solution for connecting older clay pipework to modern plastic underground drain systems. Designed for 6″  clay pipes and compatible with 160mm plastic drainage connections, this adaptor helps ensure a reliable, watertight joint between differing materials.

Constructed from flexible rubber with a robust uPVC interface, the adaptor accommodates slight misalignments between pipe ends and adapts to differences in surface texture. This flexibility helps create a secure connection in underground drainage installations — ideal for repairs, extensions or upgrades involving mixed pipe materials.

Clay to Plastic Adaptor – Key Features & Benefits

Performance & Durability

This clay to plastic adaptor is engineered for reliable performance in underground environments, offering resilience to moisture, soil movement and normal wear. The flexible rubber section moulds around irregular clay surfaces, while the uPVC ends provide strength and resistance to corrosion and water ingress.

The secure transition it provides helps maintain efficient drainage flow and reduces the likelihood of leaks at joints between dissimilar materials, ensuring long term operation even in challenging conditions.

Installation

Install the adaptor as part of the overall drainage layout, following current building and drainage regulations. Ensure both pipe ends are clean and cut square. Slide the adaptor onto the clay pipe first and then onto the plastic pipe, tightening any bands or seals to create a watertight connection.
