FAQs
What type of guttering is this bend compatible with?
This bend is specifically designed for 112mm square PVCu guttering systems, primarily those manufactured by Polypipe.
Can I use this bend with round gutters?
No, this bend is exclusively for 112mm square gutter profiles and is not compatible with round guttering.
What is the angle of this gutter bend?
This is a 90-degree angle bend, designed to create a sharp turn in the gutter run.
What material is the bend made from?
The bend is manufactured from high-quality PVCu (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride).
How do I join the bend to the gutter?
The bend is joined to the gutter using a specific PVCu solvent cement, applied to both the gutter end and the fitting socket. Follow the cement manufacturer's instructions for application and curing.
Does the black finish fade over time?
The black finish is designed for outdoor durability and UV resistance. While some minor fading can occur over many years with extreme sun exposure, it is generally long-lasting.
What maintenance is required for this product?
Minimal maintenance is required. Periodically clear debris from gutters and downpipes and clean the exterior with mild soap and water if needed.
Troubleshooting
Gutter bend leaks at the joint
Ensure the PVCu solvent cement was applied correctly and allowed to cure fully. Re-cut and re-join if necessary, ensuring clean surfaces and proper application of cement.
Difficulty fitting gutter into the bend
Check for any obstructions or damage on the gutter end or inside the fitting. Ensure the gutter section is cut squarely and is the correct diameter.
Water pooling around the bend
Verify that the bend is installed at the correct 90-degree angle and that the overall gutter run has adequate fall towards the downpipe. Check for any external damage or obstructions.
Component appears discolored or brittle
While PVCu is durable, extreme prolonged UV exposure or impacts in very cold temperatures can affect appearance. Ensure the product is correctly installed and avoid impacts. Clean with mild soap and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure the existing guttering is clean and free of debris.
Measure and cut the Polypipe gutter sections to the required length using a fine-tooth saw or pipe cutter.
Apply Polypipe PVCu solvent cement evenly to both the spigot end of the gutter and the inside of the fitting socket.
Immediately push the gutter firmly into the fitting with a slight twisting motion to ensure full contact.
Hold the joint for at least 30 seconds to allow the solvent to set. Wipe away any excess cement.
Allow the joint to cure for the time recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before exposing it to water.
Compatibility:
This 112mm square angle bend is specifically designed for use with Polypipe 112mm square PVCu guttering systems.
It is not compatible with round gutter profiles or other brands of square guttering unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer.
Care:
Periodically check the system for debris, especially after heavy leaf fall or storms, and clear any blockages.
Clean the exterior of the bend with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Inspect joints annually for any signs of leakage or dislodgement.
