Full details

This guide is for builders, plumbers, and DIY enthusiasts working with underground drainage systems. The PBSL Group 45-degree drainage bend offers a reliable solution for altering the direction of 160mm pipes. A potential caveat is the need for lubricant for optimal installation. Key features include a single socket push-fit design with a captive rubber seal, and a 45-degree angle suitable for specific drainage configurations.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the purpose of the captive rubber seal?

The captive rubber seal ensures a watertight and secure connection between the spigot and the socket, preventing leaks and infiltration.

Why is silicon lubricant recommended?

Silicon lubricant makes the push-fit installation easier and helps to maintain and enhance the long-term performance of the rubber seal.

Can this bend be used above ground?

While primarily designed for underground use, its functionality is the same. However, ensure protection from UV exposure if used above ground.

What does '45 Degree' mean in this context?

It refers to the angle of the bend, which changes the direction of the drainage pipe by 45 degrees.

How do I know which direction the flow should go?

The spigot end should be installed in the direction of the water flow within the drainage system.

Is this compatible with other brands of drainage pipes?

It is designed to be compatible with other 160mm PBSL Group underground drainage products and similar push-fit systems. Always check specific compatibility if using with other brands.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting spigot into socket

Ensure both the spigot and the inside of the socket are clean and free from debris. Apply more silicon lubricant to the spigot.

Leak detected at the joint

Verify that the spigot is fully inserted into the socket and the captive seal is correctly seated. If the issue persists, the seal may be damaged, and the fitting may need to be replaced.

Fitting does not seem secure

Push firmly until the spigot is fully home in the socket. Ensure no obstructions are preventing a full connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy installation with push-fit design.
  • Secure and reliable seal for leak prevention.
  • Specific angle provides controlled directional changes.
  • Durable for underground applications.

Cons

  • Requires silicon lubricant for optimal installation and seal performance.
  • Single socket limits connection flexibility compared to double socket options.
  • Specific angle may not suit all layout requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the spigot end of the bend is directed towards the flow of the drainage system.
  2. Clean both the spigot end of the pipe and the inside of the socket.
  3. Apply a suitable silicon lubricant to the spigot end.
  4. Firmly push the spigot into the socket until it is fully engaged and the seal is seated.

Compatibility:

This bend is designed for 160mm diameter underground drainage systems. It is compatible with other PBSL Group underground drainage components and similar push-fit systems of the same diameter.

Care:

While designed for underground use and minimal maintenance, periodically check accessible joints for any signs of leakage or damage. Ensure surrounding soil compaction does not place undue stress on the system.
