Product Information

Full details

This Polypipe 110mm Short Radius Bend is designed for plumbers and drainage engineers working on underground gravity drainage and sewerage systems. Its key benefit is providing a reliable and efficient way to make directional changes with a secure, leak-resistant push-fit connection, reducing installation time compared to traditional methods. A potential consideration is its specific 15-degree angle, which may not suit all layout requirements. This UK-manufactured PVCu component offers durability and compliance with industry standards, serving as a modern alternative to clay drainage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary use of this 15-degree bend?

The primary use is to create a 15-degree change in direction for 110mm diameter pipes within underground gravity drainage and sewerage systems.

Is this bend suitable for pressurized water systems?

No, this bend is designed specifically for underground gravity drainage and sewerage applications and is not suitable for pressurized systems.

What standards does this product comply with?

This Polypipe bend is certified to BS EN 1401 and BS4660:2000 standards.

How is the joint made secure?

The joint is secured using an innovative seal and snap-cap system, enabling a push-fit connection that is designed to be leak-resistant.

Can I use this with clay pipes?

While it is designed as an alternative to clay drainage, it should be connected to other 110mm PVCu pipes that meet the specified standards. Adapters may be required for dissimilar materials, but direct connection to clay is not recommended without appropriate fittings.

What does the 'Short Radius' refer to?

Short radius indicates a tighter turning circle compared to a long radius bend, allowing for more compact installations where space is limited.

Where is this product manufactured?

This product is manufactured in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting pipe into socket

Ensure the pipe and socket ends are clean and lubricated. Check for any obstructions or damage to the joint. Verify you are using a compatible 110mm pipe.

Leak detected at the joint after installation

The pipe may not have been fully inserted. Disconnect the joint, re-lubricate, and re-insert firmly until the stop is reached. Ensure the seal within the socket is clean and undamaged.

Component cracked or damaged during installation

Handle all components with care to avoid impact. If damaged, replace the bend before backfilling. Ensure proper support for the pipework.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the ends of the 110mm pipes to be joined are clean, free from dirt, debris, and damage.
  2. Apply a small amount of approved silicone lubricant to the socket end of the bend and the spigot end of the pipe.
  3. Push the pipe firmly into the socket of the bend until it reaches the internal stop, ensuring a secure and complete connection.

Compatibility:

  • This bend is designed for use with 110mm diameter PVCu underground drainage pipes conforming to BS EN 1401 and BS4660 standards.
  • It is suitable for underground gravity drainage and sewerage applications only.
