Product Information

Full details

The Primaplumb 40mm 92.5° Swept Bends are ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers looking to streamline wastewater system installations. These components offer a high-efficiency solution for changing pipe direction while maintaining superior flow rates and minimizing blockages. However, users should ensure they are working with standard 40mm pipework specifically compatible with push-fit systems to guarantee a watertight seal.

FAQs

Can I use these for hot water discharge?

Yes, these are designed for standard domestic waste water, which typically handles intermittent hot water discharge without issue.

Are these compatible with solvent weld pipes?

No, these are specifically designed for push-fit systems and do not have the correct surface profile for solvent welding.

What does the 92.5° angle mean?

The extra 2.5 degrees provide a slight gradient in the pipework, which is helpful for ensuring waste gravity-feeds toward the main stack.

Can I reuse the fitting if I make a mistake?

Yes, unlike solvent weld fittings, these can generally be removed and reused if they have not been damaged during initial installation.

Is any sealant or tape required?

No, these fittings rely on internal rubber seals and should not be used with plumber's tape or joint compound.

Troubleshooting

The pipe is difficult to push into the fitting

Ensure the pipe end is properly chamfered and clean. You can apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant to the pipe end to assist entry.

The joint is leaking after installation

Check that the pipe is inserted fully past the seal. Inspect the pipe for scratches or burrs that may be compromising the rubber O-ring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces the risk of blockages due to the swept internal curve
  • Installation requires no solvent welding or special tools
  • Easily removable and adjustable during the installation phase
  • Consistent, reliable diameter for standard 40mm piping

Cons

  • Not compatible with glue-weld piping systems
  • Requires proper pipe chamfering to prevent seal damage
  • Only suitable for non-pressurized waste plumbing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a leak-free setup, first ensure the end of your 40mm pipe is cut cleanly and square. It is essential to remove any burrs from the cut edge with a file and apply a small chamfer to the end of the pipe; this prevents the internal rubber seal inside the fitting from tearing during insertion. Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it reaches the stop. For maintenance, keep the area around the joints accessible, though under normal conditions, the high-quality seals require no specific maintenance. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners in excessive amounts, as they may degrade the rubber seals over time.
