Product Information

Full details

This guide is for plumbers and DIYers working with plastic waste pipe systems. The Home Range 5x 36mm 90 Degree Solvent Weld Bends offer a durable and reliable solution for creating smooth directional changes in pipe runs. A key benefit is their precise moulding for a tight, secure fit. One caveat is that they require solvent cement for a permanent joint, which is not included.

FAQs

What type of cement should I use with these bends?

You will need a solvent cement specifically designed for joining plastic solvent weld waste pipes. Always follow the instructions provided with the solvent cement.

Are these bends suitable for hot water waste?

These bends are designed for standard domestic waste water, which is typically cool to lukewarm. They are not rated for continuous high-temperature applications.

Can I use these with push-fit waste pipes?

No, these are specifically for solvent weld systems. Push-fit pipes require a different connection method and fittings.

What is the internal diameter of the bend?

The bends are designed for 36mm nominal bore waste pipes, providing a consistent internal diameter for flow.

How many bends are included in this pack?

This pack contains five (5) 36mm 90-degree solvent weld bends.

Can I paint these fittings?

Painting is generally not recommended for solvent weld fittings as it can interfere with the integrity of the joint or the plastic material over time. If painting is necessary, use a plastic-compatible primer and paint, and test on a spare piece first.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation

Ensure the correct solvent cement was used, applied evenly, and the joint was held securely during the initial setting period. Check for cracks in the fitting or pipe. Re-making the joint may be necessary.

Pipe does not fit snugly into the bend

Verify that you are using a 36mm pipe with this 36mm fitting. Ensure the pipe end is not damaged or deformed. Clean any debris from the fitting socket.

Solvent cement is not adhering properly

Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Use the correct type of solvent cement recommended for the plastic material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and permanent joint when properly solvent welded.
  • Durable black plastic construction resists corrosion.
  • Precise moulding ensures a tight fit with compatible pipes.
  • Smooth internal design aids waste flow.
  • Cost-effective pack of 5 for multiple installations.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of solvent cement.
  • Only compatible with 36mm solvent weld waste pipes.
  • Not suitable for high-pressure systems.
  • Installation requires specific solvent welding technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting spigot are clean and dry.
  2. Lightly de-burr and chamfer the pipe end.
  3. Apply a thin, even coat of appropriate solvent cement to both surfaces using the applicator.
  4. Immediately push the pipe into the fitting with a quarter-turn twist to spread the cement evenly.
  5. Hold the joint firmly for 30 seconds to prevent movement while the cement begins to set.
  6. Allow the joint to cure for the time recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before putting it into service.

Compatibility:

  • These bends are designed for use with 36mm solvent weld plastic waste pipes. Ensure your existing pipework or new pipe is specifically compatible with solvent weld systems.
  • Not suitable for push-fit or compression-fit systems.

Care:

  • These fittings are maintenance-free once installed.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents not intended for plastic plumbing on the exterior of the installed system.
