Soil, Waste & Vent Fittings Built for Reliable Water Management

 

At Vicplas, we understand that efficient water and waste flow systems are the backbone of safe buildings, controlled environments, and modern growing systems. Since 1993, we have been manufacturing dependable soil waste and vent pipes designed to support long-term performance across residential, commercial, industrial, and specialised environments, including controlled agriculture and hydroponic facilities.

In any system where water, nutrients, or waste must be managed precisely, reliable piping matters. Our soil waste and vent pipes are engineered to move wastewater and gases away efficiently, helping maintain hygiene, pressure balance, and system integrity. This makes them suitable not only for conventional buildings, but also for environments that rely on stable water control, such as hydroponic system setups and indoor farming facilities.

 

Understanding Soil, Waste, and Vent Pipe Applications

 

A soil waste pipe plays a critical role in transporting wastewater from fixtures and equipment to soil stacks or sewer systems. Venting allows gases to escape safely, preventing pressure build-up and odour issues.

 

Vicplas manufactures a full range of uPVC solutions, including the uPVC vent pipe, designed to perform consistently under varying flow conditions. Our pipes are produced to recognised Singapore Standards, including SS141 uPVC pipe, SS272 uPVC pipe, and SS213 uPVC pipe, giving engineers and project managers confidence in compliance, safety, and durability.

 

Quick Standard Reference Guide

 

Singapore Standard Primary Application Key Performance Features
SS213 Above-Ground Soil, Waste & Vent Engineered for non-pressure sanitary plumbing; excellent chemical resistance.
SS272 Underground Drainage & Sewerage Designed to withstand soil loading and external pressure in subterranean environments.
SS141 Cold Water Services (Pressure) High-strength uPVC suitable for pressurised water transport and potable water systems.

 

These standards are especially important in environments where water quality, flow control, and cleanliness must be maintained, including food-related facilities and hydroponic growing operations.

 

Why uPVC Pipes Are a Practical Choice

 

Our uPVC pipes are manufactured using high-quality raw materials and are available in multiple diameters, thicknesses, and lengths.

 

Key benefits include:

 

  • Strong resistance to corrosion from acidic waste and chemicals.
  • Smooth internal surfaces that reduce blockages and maintenance needs.
  • Lightweight construction for easier handling and installation.
  • Long service life compared to metal alternatives.

 

Unlike metal systems, a uPVC vent pipe does not corrode or degrade easily, making it a cost-effective option for long-term use. This durability is especially valuable in systems where consistent water flow is essential, such as hydroponic nutrient circulation and wastewater discharge points.
