Product Information

Full details

The Polypipe 110mm Soil 135° Offset Bend is designed for plumbers and builders requiring precise directional changes in domestic and commercial waste systems. Its key benefit is the dual connection method (ring seal and solvent) offering installation flexibility. A potential consideration is the need for appropriate primers and adhesives when using the solvent connection. This fitting facilitates efficient waste flow and odour evacuation, integrating seamlessly into Polypipe's extensive soil and vent systems.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of a 135° offset bend?

A 135° offset bend is used to create a specific change in direction within a soil and waste pipe system, often to navigate around obstacles or to connect pipes at an unusual angle while maintaining efficient flow.

Can I use this fitting with different types of pipe?

This fitting is designed for use with 110mm PVC-U soil and waste pipes. While it offers double socket connection, always ensure compatibility with the specific pipe material and system standards.

What is the difference between ring seal and solvent weld connections?

The ring seal connection is a push-fit system using a rubber gasket for a watertight seal, offering ease and speed of installation. The solvent weld connection uses a primer and cement to create a permanent, fused bond between the pipe and fitting.

Do I need special tools to install this fitting?

For ring seal connections, silicone lubricant is recommended. For solvent weld connections, you will need PVC primer and solvent weld cement, along with a pipe cutter and potentially a deburring tool.

Is this fitting suitable for hot water waste?

This fitting is designed for standard soil and waste applications. It is not typically rated for high-temperature or high-pressure hot water systems.

How should I clean this fitting if it gets dirty during installation?

For general cleaning, a damp cloth is sufficient. If solvent cement or primer is accidentally spilled, clean it off promptly with appropriate solvents, ensuring they are compatible with PVC-U.

What are the dimensions of this fitting?

The fitting has a diameter of 110mm. The '135° Offset' refers to the specific angle of directional change it provides.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty pushing pipe into the ring seal socket

Ensure the ring seal is correctly seated and not damaged. Apply a silicone lubricant to both the pipe spigot and the inside of the seal.

Leaking solvent weld joint

Ensure the surfaces were properly prepared (cleaned, primed, and cemented) and held during the initial curing period. Re-joint if necessary, ensuring all steps are followed precisely.

Fitting does not align with other pipework

Double-check measurements and the orientation of the offset bend. Ensure no other components in the line are incorrectly installed.

Blockage within the bend

Inspect the pipework visually if possible. If a blockage is suspected, use appropriate drain clearing tools carefully to avoid damaging the fitting or pipe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers significant installation flexibility due to its double socket connection (ring seal and solvent).
  • Durable PVC-U material ensures a long service life.
  • Designed for efficient waste and odour management.
  • Integrates seamlessly with a wide range of Polypipe soil and vent products.
  • Standard 110mm diameter for broad compatibility.

Cons

  • Requires appropriate primer and solvent for the solvent weld connection.
  • Ring seal connections may require lubrication for easier assembly.
  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications.
  • Specific 135° angle may not be suitable for all routing scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  • Preparation: Ensure the ends of the pipes to be joined are clean, dry, and free from damage. For solvent weld connections, lightly chamfer the pipe end.
  • Ring Seal Connection: Apply a silicone lubricant to the ring seal and the spigot end of the pipe or fitting. Push the pipe firmly into the socket until it reaches the depth stop.
  • Solvent Weld Connection: Apply the appropriate PVC primer to both the spigot end of the pipe and the inside of the socket. Immediately apply the solvent weld cement evenly to the same surfaces. Assemble the joint with a slight twisting motion and hold firmly for approximately 30 seconds to prevent 'plunging'. Allow the joint to cure according to the cement manufacturer's instructions before applying pressure or testing.

Compatibility:

  • This 110mm fitting is part of the Polypipe PolySoil® range and is designed to be compatible with other Polypipe push-fit ring seal and solvent weld fittings, air admittance valves, fire protection sleeves, and ancillaries.
  • It can also be used with other compatible 110mm PVC-U soil and waste systems, ensuring adherence to relevant British Standards.

Care:

  • The PVC-U material is low maintenance. Periodically check for any visible signs of damage or leakage.
  • Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material or seals.
  • Ensure the surrounding area is kept clear of debris that could obstruct access or damage the pipework.
