What size pipes does this bend fit?

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the joint

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the nut is properly tightened. Check the rubber seal for damage and replace if necessary.

Difficulty in assembling the compression joint

Make sure all components are clean and properly aligned. Lubricating the rubber seal with a small amount of water or silicone grease can help ease assembly.

The bend doesn't fit properly

Verify that the pipe size is 40mm and that the pipe end is cut cleanly and squarely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the 40mm pipe is cut squarely and free of burrs.
Assembly: Unscrew the nut from the fitting and remove it along with the washer and the rubber seal.
Positioning: Place these three components over the end of the pipe – first the nut, then the washer followed by the seal. The dished side of the rubber seal should face away from the nut and towards the fitting.
Insertion: Push the pipe into the fitting as far as it will go.
Securing: Slide the seal and washer forward into position in the fitting and tighten the nut. Ensure a secure but not overly tight fit.

Compatibility: This bend is designed for use with 40mm waste pipes and is compatible with both plastic and copper pipes. Always ensure all components are clean and free from damage before assembly.

Care: Regularly inspect the joints for any signs of leaks or damage. If dismantling for any reason, check the condition of the rubber seal and replace if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the polypropylene material. Clean with warm soapy water when needed.
