What angle does this gutter bend provide?

What material is the gutter bend made from?

The gutter bend is made from durable and lightweight PVCu (Polyvinyl Chloride).

Can this bend be used with other brands of guttering?

This bend is specifically designed for Polypipe's 112mm Half Round Gutter System and may not be compatible with other brands or profiles.

How do I clean this gutter bend?

What is the expected lifespan of this PVCu gutter bend?

PVCu is known for its durability and low-maintenance properties, offering a long lifespan when properly installed and maintained, typically many years of reliable service.

Troubleshooting

Gutter bend leaking at joints

Ensure the PVCu solvent cement was applied correctly and allowed to cure fully. Check for any debris in the joint before cementing. If the issue persists, the joint may need to be re-made or sealed with a compatible gutter sealant.

Water overflowing from the gutter

Check for blockages in the gutter or downpipe, including the bend itself. Ensure the gutter has adequate fall towards the downpipe. If the system is consistently overwhelmed, consider increasing the gutter size or adding more downpipes.

Bend appears discolored over time

While PVCu is durable, prolonged exposure to intense UV light can cause slight fading. Clean the surface with mild soap and water. For significant discoloration, consider the use of a plastic cleaner specifically designed for PVCu.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and weather-resistant PVCu material
  • Efficient 90-degree directional change for water flow
  • Suitable for high rainwater volumes
  • Easy to install due to lightweight construction
  • Low maintenance requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the correct Polypipe 112mm half-round guttering system components.
  2. Measure and cut existing guttering to accommodate the 90-degree bend.
  3. Apply appropriate PVCu solvent cement to both the spigot end of the bend and the inside of the connecting guttering or outlet.
  4. Firmly push the bend into place, twisting slightly to ensure even distribution of the cement.
  5. Hold in place for a few minutes to allow initial bonding.
  6. Allow the solvent cement to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before exposing to water.

Compatibility:

  • This bend is designed exclusively for Polypipe 112mm Half Round Gutter Systems.
  • It is not compatible with square-line, ogee, or other profiles and diameters.
  • Ensure all connecting components (gutter lengths, outlets, downpipes) are also part of the Polypipe 112mm Half Round system for optimal performance.

Care:

  • Clean the guttering system regularly (at least twice a year) by removing debris like leaves and sediment.
  • Use a soft brush and mild soapy water for cleaning. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PVCu finish.
