Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Solvent Weld Conversion Bend is an essential component for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a secure 135-degree change in direction within a 32mm waste pipe system. This high-quality fitting provides a permanent, leak-proof seal through solvent welding, making it ideal for robust plumbing installations. While it offers excellent durability and compliance with BS EN 1455 standards, it requires careful preparation and curing time, meaning it is not suitable for temporary or quick-fix plumbing repairs that may need immediate dismantling.

FAQs

Can I use this fitting with push-fit pipes?

No, this is specifically designed for solvent weld systems. Using it with push-fit components may lead to leaks as it lacks the necessary internal rubber seal.

How long do I need to wait before using the sink?

You must wait at least 12 hours for the chemical bond to fully cure before the system can be safely used or tested.

What is the degree of this bend?

This fitting is a 135-degree bend, commonly used to achieve a 45-degree angle change in the pipe direction.

Is the solvent cement included?

No, the solvent weld cement must be purchased separately.

What standards does this product meet?

It is manufactured to BS EN 1455 standards and is UK kitemarked.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation

Ensure the surfaces were cleaned thoroughly before applying the solvent; if the leak persists, the fitting may need to be cut out and replaced.

Pipe will not insert fully into the fitting

Check the end of the pipe for burrs or debris; file the edge smooth and ensure the pipe is not deformed or oval-shaped from cutting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Permanent, leak-free connection via solvent welding
  • Manufactured to high-quality BS EN 1455 standards
  • Easy to handle for both DIY and trade professionals
  • Deep-socket design provides extra mechanical stability

Cons

  • Requires chemical solvent cement which must be purchased separately
  • Not intended for frequent removal or adjustment after installation
  • Requires a 12-hour curing time before the system can be pressure-tested

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Preparation: Use a fine-tooth saw to cut the pipe square and remove all burrs with a file to ensure a smooth surface.
  2. Cleaning: Thoroughly clean both the pipe end and the interior of the bend socket with a dry cloth; remove any dust or grease.
  3. Application: Apply solvent weld cement evenly to both surfaces.
  4. Joining: Push the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion to distribute the cement evenly. Ensure it is fully seated to the depth of the long tail.
  5. Setting: Allow the joint to remain undisturbed for at least 5 minutes before applying any load, and wait 12 hours before turning on the water supply or testing the system for leaks.

Care: Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could degrade the plastic structure over time. Periodically inspect joints for signs of damage or shifting.
