FAQs

What is the main advantage of a swivel bend?

A swivel bend offers flexibility in pipe routing, allowing for precise angular adjustments to navigate tight spaces and awkward connections in plumbing installations.

Do I need any special tools to install this?

No, this is a push-fit fitting, meaning it installs without the need for solvent welding or specialized tools. A pipe cutter is recommended for clean pipe ends.

What is the diameter of this swivel bend?

The diameter of this swivel bend is 40mm, which is a standard size for residential waste pipe systems.

Can I use this with non-Polypipe waste pipes?

While designed for the Polypipe system, it may fit other 40mm push-fit pipes. However, for guaranteed compatibility and performance, using it with other Polypipe components is recommended.

How do I disconnect the pipe from the fitting?

Polypipe push-fit fittings typically have a release mechanism. You may need to press a collar or clip to release the pipe. Refer to specific product instructions if unsure.

What is the angle of this swivel bend?

This is a 91.25-degree swivel bend, offering a slight offset that is very useful for precise alignment in confined areas.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

The polypropylene construction is durable, but it is primarily designed for indoor residential plumbing. Prolonged exposure to UV light or extreme temperatures might affect its longevity.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the push-fit joint

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Check the pipe end for any damage or debris. Re-seat the pipe firmly into the fitting.

Difficulty pushing pipe into fitting

Verify that both the pipe and the fitting are clean and free from obstructions. Ensure you are using the correct 40mm diameter pipe.

Wobbling or loose connection

The pipe may not be fully seated. Try to push it in further. If the issue persists, inspect the pipe end and the fitting's internal seal for damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, ensure the ends of the pipes are clean, square, and free from burrs. Simply push the pipe firmly into the swivel bend fitting until it is fully seated. A gentle twist can help ensure a secure connection. For disassembly, a quick-release mechanism is typically present on the fitting; consult the Polypipe documentation for specific instructions.

Compatibility: This 40mm swivel bend is designed to work with other 40mm push-fit waste pipes and fittings within the Polypipe Building Products system. It is compatible with various Polypipe traps, including P-traps and S-traps, as well as overflow systems.

Care: The polypropylene material is low-maintenance. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic. Ensure that no debris obstructs the flow within the pipework.
