The Polypipe 160mm Short Radius Bend (UG611) is designed for contractors and DIY enthusiasts working on underground gravity and sewerage drainage systems who require a robust, reliable direction change. Its primary benefit is the push-fit joint system, which significantly accelerates installation times while maintaining a watertight seal. A notable caveat is that its short radius design requires careful planning regarding flow velocity and potential blockages compared to long-radius alternatives, making it better suited for specific directional adjustments rather than long, high-volume runs.

Yes, when correctly bedded and backfilled according to local building regulations, it is durable enough for use under heavy load areas.
It is certified to BS EN 1401 and BS4660:2000.
The finish is designed to match traditional clay drainage aesthetics, but the material itself is high-strength, durable plastic.
Ensure the pipe end is properly chamfered and apply a silicone-based lubricant to the seal area.
Verify that the pipe is inserted to the full depth of the socket and that the internal seal has not been dislodged during installation.
Installation of the UG611 requires a clean pipe end to ensure the internal seal functions correctly. Always ensure the pipe is chamfered to prevent damage to the seal upon insertion. While no specialized tools are needed, a lubricant designed for plastic drainage pipes should be used to facilitate a smooth fit. For long-term care, ensure the bend is supported by proper granular bedding to prevent ground settlement from stressing the joints. The pipe is compatible with all standard 160mm drainage systems meeting current building regulations.
