Product Information

Full details

The Polypipe WS54W Obtuse Bend is designed for residential plumbers needing a reliable 50mm, 45-degree ABS waste pipe fitting. Its key benefit is providing flexible routing for liquid waste in confined spaces, ensuring secure, leak-resistant connections via solvent weld jointing. A potential consideration is that it requires specific solvent cement for installation, which is not included.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the WS54W Obtuse Bend?

The WS54W is used to create a 45-degree angled connection in a 50mm waste pipe system, allowing for flexible routing of liquid waste, typically from sanitaryware or kitchen appliances.

What material is the WS54W bend made from?

It is manufactured from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a robust plastic known for its impact resistance.

How is the WS54W bend connected?

It uses a solvent weld jointing method, requiring a specific ABS solvent cement for a secure, permanent connection.

Is solvent cement included with the bend?

No, the solvent weld cement is not included and must be purchased separately.

Can this bend be used for pressure systems?

No, the WS54W is designed specifically for waste water drainage systems, not for pressurized water supply.

What other sizes are available in the Polypipe Solvent Weld Waste System?

The Polypipe Solvent Weld Waste (ABS) range is available in 32mm, 40mm, and 50mm sizes, with various fittings including obtuse bends.

How do I clean the WS54W bend?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the ABS material.

Troubleshooting

Joint not sealing/leaking

Ensure surfaces were clean, dry, and properly prepared before applying solvent cement. Re-cut pipe and re-make the joint, ensuring adequate solvent cement was used and the joint was held securely during initial setting.

Difficulty pushing pipe into fitting

Check for any obstructions or damage inside the fitting or on the pipe end. Ensure the correct size pipe (50mm) is being used.

White finish appears discolored

Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure compatibility of any cleaning agents with ABS plastic.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable ABS material ensures longevity and impact resistance.
Secure solvent weld joints prevent leaks.
The 45-degree angle offers significant installation flexibility.
White finish provides a clean, integrated look.
Part of a comprehensive system for adaptable solutions.

Cons

Requires specific solvent cement for installation (not included).
ABS material may have limitations in extremely high-temperature applications compared to other materials.
Solvent weld jointing is a permanent connection, requiring care during installation.
Limited to residential plumbing applications as per design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the pipe ends and the inside of the bend are clean and dry.
Apply the recommended solvent weld cement evenly to both surfaces to be joined.
Immediately push the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion until it bottoms out.
Hold the joint firmly for approximately 30 seconds to prevent movement while the cement sets.
Allow the joint to cure for the time specified by the solvent cement manufacturer before stressing the pipework.

Compatibility:

The WS54W is designed to integrate seamlessly with Polypipe's Solvent Weld Waste System range. It is compatible with other Polypipe ABS pipes and fittings of 50mm diameter. Ensure that any other components used in the system are also designed for solvent weld jointing and are appropriate for waste water applications.

Care:

To maintain the performance of the WS54W bend and the surrounding system, regular checks for leaks are recommended. The ABS material is generally low maintenance. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that are not compatible with ABS plastic, as they could damage the finish or the material.
