FAQs
What is the main purpose of a 67.5-degree bend?
A 67.5-degree bend is used to change the direction of a soil pipe run by a specific angle, often to navigate around obstacles or to create smoother transitions in pipework compared to sharper bends.
Can I use this bend for hot water pipes?
No, this bend is specifically designed for soil and waste water systems and is not rated for hot water or pressurized systems. It is made from PVC which may deform under high temperatures.
Do I need any special tools to install this bend?
For basic installation, you primarily need a way to cut the pipe cleanly and potentially a chamfering tool. No adhesives or special joining tools are required due to the push-fit design.
What does 'push-fit' mean for this soil pipe bend?
Push-fit means the pipe simply pushes into the socket of the bend, where a rubber seal creates a secure, watertight connection. It's designed for quick and tool-free assembly.
Is this bend suitable for underground drainage?
While made of durable PVC, its suitability for underground use depends on local regulations and the specific application. It is primarily intended for above-ground soil and waste pipe systems within a building.
How do I clean the inside of the bend if it gets blocked?
Access may be limited depending on the installation. If accessible, a plumber's snake or appropriate drain cleaning tools can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber seal.
What is the weight of this product?
The weight of this DYKA Soil Pipe 67.5 Degree Bend is approximately 0.419 pounds.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting pipe into the bend.
Ensure the pipe end is clean, smooth, and chamfered. Lubricant (like silicone-based pipe lubricant) can aid insertion. Check that the rubber seal inside the bend is correctly seated and not damaged.
Slight leak at the connection point.
Disconnect the pipe and re-insert it firmly, ensuring it's fully pushed in. Check the rubber seal for debris or damage and ensure it's properly aligned. If the seal is damaged, the bend may need replacement.
Pipe won't stay securely in the bend.
Confirm that the pipe is the correct 110 mm diameter and that it's being pushed fully into the fitting. Check the integrity of the rubber seal; a worn or damaged seal may not grip the pipe sufficiently. Ensure the pipe is not being subjected to excessive external force that could dislodge it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Easy and fast installation due to push-fit design.
Reliable, watertight seal prevents leaks.
Durable PVC construction ensures longevity.
Precise 67.5-degree angle for flexible routing.
Standard 110 mm size for broad compatibility.
Cons
Only suitable for soil and waste water systems; not for potable water or high-pressure applications.
Requires specific 110 mm pipe diameter.
Limited to a 67.5-degree angle; other angles may be needed for complex layouts.
Color is specific (grey) and may not match all aesthetic requirements.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the ends of the 110 mm soil pipes are clean, free from debris, and have a smooth, chamfered edge.
Push the soil pipe firmly into the push-fit socket of the 67.5-degree bend until it is fully seated against the internal stopper or rubber seal.
For added security on longer runs or in areas prone to vibration, consider using pipe clips to secure the connected pipes.
Compatibility:
This bend is designed for use with 110 mm diameter *soil and waste* pipes.
It is suitable for gravity-fed waste water systems.
Not suitable for pressurized water systems, potable water, or gas.
Care:
No special care is typically required for this fitting. Its PVC material is resistant to most household waste.
If accessible, periodically check connections for any signs of dislodging or leakage, though this is rare with a properly installed push-fit system.
