Product Information

Full details

The Polypipe WS13B Swept Bend is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts managing residential wastewater drainage. Its primary benefit is providing a smooth, efficient 92.5-degree transition for waste flow, minimizing blockage risks in ABS solvent weld systems. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with the Polypipe Solvent Weld Waste System, requiring users to ensure it fits their existing setup. This 32mm black ABS component ensures durable, leak-resistant connections for sanitaryware and kitchen appliance waste.

FAQs

What is the angle of the swept bend?

The Polypipe WS13B Swept Bend features a precise 92.5-degree angle.

What material is this swept bend made from?

It is manufactured from durable A.B.S. (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).

How is this fitting connected?

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

Is this compatible with push-fit waste systems?

No, this fitting is designed exclusively for solvent weld systems and is not compatible with push-fit or compression fittings.

What is the diameter of this swept bend?

The diameter of this swept bend is 32mm.

Can this be used for external drainage?

This component is designed for internal residential wastewater management systems, primarily from sanitaryware and kitchen appliances.

What kind of solvent cement should I use?

You should use a solvent cement specifically designed for ABS pipework and suitable for waste systems. Refer to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for application.

Troubleshooting

Leak detected at the joint

Ensure the solvent weld joint was made correctly, allowing sufficient curing time. If the leak persists, the joint may need to be cut out and remade.

Blockage occurring frequently at the bend

While the swept design minimizes risk, frequent blockages may indicate issues further down the line or excessive debris. Ensure proper system slope and consider periodic flushing of the waste system.

Difficulty fitting pipe into the socket

Check that the pipe end and fitting socket are clean, dry, and free from obstruction. Ensure the pipe is cut squarely. Do not force the joint; if resistance is high, re-evaluate the cut or fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Minimizes flow resistance and blockage risk with its swept design.
  • Provides durable and chemically resistant performance due to ABS material.
  • Ensures secure and permanent connections via solvent weld jointing.
  • Offers a consistent visual appearance with its black finish.
  • Part of a comprehensive system for adaptable installations.

Cons

  • Requires specific solvent cement for joining.
  • Primarily designed for ABS solvent weld systems, limiting compatibility with other materials.
  • The 92.5-degree angle may not suit all complex routing requirements.
  • Installation requires careful preparation and application of solvent cement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure pipes are clean and dry before application.
  2. Cut pipes squarely and deburr edges.
  3. Apply Polypipe Solvent Weld Cement evenly to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket.
  4. Immediately push the pipe fully into the fitting socket with a slight twisting motion.
  5. Hold the joint firmly for 30 seconds to prevent movement.
  6. Allow adequate drying/curing time as per the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions before resuming water flow.

Compatibility:

  • This WS13B swept bend is specifically designed for use with the Polypipe Solvent Weld Waste System.
  • It is compatible with other Polypipe ABS solvent weld pipes and fittings of the same diameter (32mm).
  • Ensure that any other components used in conjunction are also suitable for ABS solvent weld applications.

Care:

  • The ABS material is resistant to most household chemicals. No special cleaning agents are required for the component itself.
  • Regularly check the waste system for leaks, especially around joints, and address any issues promptly.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners on any visible parts of the waste system.
