It is also sometimes referred to as a 135 degree bend. This fitting can be used in either a horizontal or vertical plane, and two bends together are sometimes used as a pair to create an offset within a pipe run. Both single socket and double socket ring seal (push fit) options are available. The FloPlast 110mm Soil 135' Double Socket Bend is a versatile plumbing component designed to provide a 135-degree change in direction for 110mm Soil Pipe Systems. Its push-fit design ensures a secure connection to a 110mm Ring Seal Soil System, enabling efficient waste water drainage and foul discharge from appliances. The bend features a socket fitting at each end, making it suitable for use in both horizontal and vertical planes.Additional Features and Benefits:- High-quality PVC-U material for durability and strength- Lightweight and easy to install- Compatibility with most existing materials and systems- Resistance to high temperatures- Innovative push-fit joint system for seamless connections- Color-coordinated with other FloPlast Soil & Waste Systems- Complies with relevant British/European standards. Main Product Description: The FloPlast 110mm Soil 135' Double Socket Bend is a versatile plumbing component designed to provide a 135-degree.
This FloPlast 110mm Soil Bend is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to alter the direction of 110mm PVC soil pipe systems. Its primary benefit is providing a precise 135-degree change in direction, facilitating efficient waste water and foul discharge management. A potential consideration is that while it offers a 135-degree bend, it is often referred to as a 45-degree fitting in terms of the angle it creates from a straight line. This versatile component features a double socket push-fit design for easy and secure installation in both horizontal and vertical applications.

FAQs
What is the actual angle the pipe turns?
This fitting provides a 135-degree angle, which means it deviates 45 degrees from a straight line.
Can I use this bend with solvent weld pipes?
No, this is a Ring Seal (push-fit) double socket bend and is not designed for use with solvent weld systems.
What is the material of this bend?
The bend is constructed from high-quality, durable PVC-U material.
Can I use two of these bends together?
Yes, two bends can be used together to create a larger offset in a pipe run.
Is this product suitable for underground drainage?
Yes, this fitting is designed for soil and waste pipe systems, which are typically used for above and below ground drainage.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
Ensure the pipe ends and the socket are clean, apply silicone lubricant to the ring seal and pipe spigot, and push the pipe firmly and squarely into the socket until fully engaged.
What size pipe does this fitting accommodate?
This fitting is designed for 110mm diameter soil pipes.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pushing pipe into socket
Ensure pipe ends and socket interiors are clean. Apply adequate silicone lubricant to the ring seal and pipe spigot. Ensure the pipe is pushed in straight and firmly.
Leak at the joint
Disassemble the joint, check the ring seal for damage or debris, clean both parts, re-lubricate, and reassemble. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted.
Pipe does not seem secure
Verify that the pipe has been inserted to the full depth of the socket. Check that the correct size pipe (110mm) is being used with the correct fitting.
Fitting cracked during installation
This is usually due to excessive force or improper alignment. Discard the damaged fitting and replace it, ensuring careful handling and correct installation technique.
Pros and Cons

Not suitable for pressurized systems.
May require additional support in long or complex runs.
Requires a clean pipe end and proper lubrication for optimal seal.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure the ends of the 110mm soil pipe and the sockets of the bend are clean and free from debris.
Apply a silicone lubricant (specifically designed for push-fit soil systems) to the ring seal and the spigot end of the pipe.
Firmly push the pipe spigot into the socket of the bend until it reaches the depth mark or feels securely seated.
Repeat for the other end of the bend.
Compatibility:
This bend is designed for 110mm PVC-U Ring Seal soil pipe systems.
It is compatible with most existing FloPlast soil and waste systems.
While generally compatible with other brands of 110mm ring seal soil pipes, always test connections if unsure.
Care:
This fitting requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check accessible joints for any signs of leakage.
Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the PVC-U material.
In case of blockages, do not force tools through the bend; use appropriate drain clearing methods that do not damage the pipework.
