Description
The 200mm socket plug is an underground drainage fitting used to close off a compatible 200mm drainage socket. It is suitable for larger foul water and surface water drainage systems where a socketed connection needs to be sealed, capped or protected.
This Funke underground drainage socket plug is designed for compatible 200mm PVC-U underground drainage systems. It is useful on larger site drainage layouts, commercial drainage runs, groundwork projects and repair work where an unused socket needs to be closed securely.
A socket plug is different from an end cap. A socket plug is used to close a compatible socket, while an end cap is normally used to close a pipe end. Always confirm the fitting style before installation.
200mm Socket Plug for Underground Drainage

200mm Socket Plug Connection
This 200mm socket plug is used to close a compatible 200mm underground drainage socket. It should not be confused with a spigot end cap, which is used in a different connection position.
Before fitting, check that the socket is clean, free from debris and correctly aligned. The plug should be inserted evenly and should not be forced into a damaged or incorrect fitting.
Use suitable pipe lubricant on ring seal joints where required. Correct joint preparation helps protect the seal and makes the plug easier to install or remove if future access is needed.
200mm Socket Plug Installation Use
The 200mm socket plug should be installed as part of a properly planned underground drainage system. It is useful where a socketed fitting needs to be blanked off, where a future connection may be planned, or where a drainage section needs to be temporarily or permanently closed.
Correct bedding and backfill are important around plugged drainage fittings. The pipework and fitting should be evenly supported so the system remains stable after installation.
Always confirm the finished pipe position, fall direction and future access requirements before backfilling. Follow the site specification, current UK drainage guidance and manufacturer instructions.
Socket Plug for 200mm Site Drainage Work
This fitting is a useful product for builders, groundworkers, landscapers and drainage installers working with larger 200mm underground drainage systems. It can be used on new installations, drainage alterations, repair work and future connection points.
For best results, use compatible 200mm pipe and fittings from the same underground drainage system where possible. This helps keep jointing simple and supports a clean, consistent installation.
This product is not an access fitting. If rodding or inspection access is required nearby, use a suitable access pipe, inspection chamber or rodding point as required by the drainage layout.
