FAQs

What is the primary use of this 110mm bend?

This bend is used to change the direction of 110mm soil and vent pipework within the Polypipe System 2000 range, facilitating connections and routing of waste and ventilation.

Is this bend compatible with other brands of 110mm pipe?

While it is a standard 110mm size, it is specifically designed for and guaranteed to work with the Polypipe System 2000 Soil & Vent range. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and may lead to jointing issues.

What material is the bend made from?

The bend is manufactured from PVCu (Polyvinyl Chloride), a durable and corrosion-resistant plastic.

How is the connection made?

It features a socket (female) on one end and a spigot (male) on the other, designed for a push-fit connection. For permanent installations, PVCu solvent cement may be used.

What are the overall dimensions of the bend?

The approximate dimensions are H:125.0 x W:255.0 x D:170.0 cm.

Does this product require any special tools for installation?

Basic tools for pipe cleaning and potentially a rubber mallet for ensuring a secure push-fit are recommended. If using solvent cement, the appropriate applicator is needed.

What is the weight of the product?

The product weighs approximately 0.5 kg.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty connecting pipes

Ensure pipes are clean and free of obstructions. Use silicone lubricant on the spigot and socket. Verify that both pipes are within the 110mm diameter and compatible system.

Leak at the joint

Disassemble the joint, clean both surfaces thoroughly, reapply lubricant, and reassemble. If the issue persists, the joint may require sealing with PVCu solvent cement or the component may be damaged and need replacement.

Inadequate flow rate

Check for blockages within the pipe system. Ensure the bend is installed with the correct downward gradient as per building regulations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable PVCu material ensures longevity.
  • Standard 110mm size for broad compatibility within its system.
  • Easy push-fit connection via socket/spigot design.
  • Designed for use with Polypipe's System 2000 for assured integration.

Cons

  • Limited to Polypipe's System 2000; not universally compatible with other brands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free from debris.
  2. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the spigot end and the inside of the socket.
  3. Push the spigot firmly into the socket until it reaches the required depth, ensuring a secure fit.
  4. For permanent installations, consider using appropriate PVCu solvent cement according to manufacturer instructions and local building codes.

Compatibility:

This bend is part of the Polypipe System 2000 Soil & Vent range. It is designed to connect with other 110mm components within this specific Polypipe system. Ensure compatibility with existing pipework before installation.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the bend with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage, particularly after heavy use or significant temperature fluctuations.
  • Ensure the connected drainage system is free from obstructions that could cause undue stress on the fittings.
