Product Information

Full details

This Polypipe Waste Solvent Weld Swept Bend is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable wastewater drainage solutions in residential settings. Its key benefit is providing secure, leak-resistant connections for efficient waste management. A potential caveat is that it requires specific solvent cement for installation, which must be purchased separately. The 40mm, 92.5° swept bend is made from durable ABS material and integrates seamlessly into solvent weld waste systems, supporting sanitaryware and kitchen appliance drainage.

FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use with this swept bend?

You must use a solvent cement specifically designed for ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) pipes and fittings. Ensure it is suitable for waste water systems.

Can this swept bend be used for hot water pipes?

No, this ABS swept bend is designed for cold wastewater drainage systems only and is not suitable for hot water or high-temperature applications.

What is the angle of this swept bend?

The angle of this swept bend is 92.5 degrees.

Is this component suitable for underground drainage?

While durable, this component is primarily designed for internal domestic wastewater systems. For underground applications, specific drainage systems and materials may be required by local building regulations.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Proper preparation (clean, dry surfaces), correct application of ABS solvent cement, full insertion of the pipe into the socket, and holding the joint firmly during the initial set are crucial for a leak-proof connection.

What is the warranty period for Polypipe waste products?

Polypipe typically offers a manufacturer's warranty on their waste products. Please refer to the official Polypipe warranty documentation or contact their customer service for specific details regarding this product.

Troubleshooting

Joint fails to seal or leaks

Ensure pipes and fittings were clean and dry before applying solvent cement. Check that the pipe was fully inserted into the socket and held for the required duration. Verify that the correct type of solvent cement for ABS was used and that it was applied evenly.

Difficulty pushing pipe into fitting

Confirm that the pipe diameter matches the fitting socket size (both 40mm). Ensure no excess cement has dried inside the socket. Gently re-clean the pipe end and socket if necessary.

Component appears brittle or cracked

This could be due to incorrect solvent cement application or exposure to extreme temperatures during installation or storage. Replace the damaged component and ensure proper installation practices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides strong, permanent solvent weld joints that are highly resistant to leaks.
  • Durable ABS material ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion.
  • The swept design promotes better wastewater flow and reduces blockage potential.
  • Standard 40mm sizing offers broad compatibility with other waste system components.
  • Black finish ensures a clean, discreet appearance in concealed plumbing runs.

Cons

  • Requires specific solvent cement for installation, which is not included.
  • Installation requires proper ventilation and adherence to solvent weld procedures.
  • Primarily designed for residential use; may not be suitable for high-pressure or industrial applications.
  • Can be less forgiving for minor alignment errors compared to compression fittings.
  • Color is limited to black, which may not suit all aesthetic requirements if visible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure pipes and fittings are clean and dry. Use a deburring tool to remove any rough edges from the pipe end.
  2. Apply an appropriate ABS solvent cement to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket.
  3. Immediately push the pipe fully into the fitting socket with a slight twisting motion to ensure even distribution of the cement.
  4. Hold the joint firmly for 30 seconds to prevent movement while the cement sets.
  5. Allow adequate curing time before testing the system. Refer to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for specific curing times based on temperature and humidity.

Compatibility:

  • This 40mm swept bend is designed for use with other 40mm ABS solvent weld waste pipes and fittings from Polypipe or compatible manufacturers.
  • It is suitable for use with a wide range of Polypipe traps, overflow pipes, and connectors.
  • Intended for use in gravity-fed domestic wastewater drainage systems.

Care:

  • This component is maintenance-free once installed.
  • Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the ABS material. Standard household drain cleaners are generally safe.
