FAQs
What is the primary function of the OsmaDrain Double Socket Long Radius Bend?
To change the direction of water flow in a drainage system while minimizing flow resistance.
What diameter pipes is this bend compatible with?
This bend is compatible with OsmaDrain 110mm diameter pipes.
What is the angle of the bend?
The bend has an 87.5° angle.
Is the captive seal design important?
Yes, it guarantees joint integrity and reduces the risk of leaks.
Can I use this bend with other brands of drainage pipe?
No, it is designed to be used with OsmaDrain pipes only.
What should I do if the joint leaks?
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the seal is intact. Reassemble if necessary and replace the component if the seal is damaged.
What should I do if the water flow is slow?
Check for blockages within the pipes. Remove any debris or sediment that may be obstructing the flow.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the joint
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the socket. Check the seal for damage and replace if necessary. Make sure all connections are clean and free from debris before assembly.
Slow drainage
Check for blockages in the pipe. Inspect for any debris or sediment build-up. Ensure the system has the correct slope to allow for proper gravity drainage.
Difficulty in connecting the pipe
Ensure that the pipes and fittings are of the correct size. Lubricate the pipe end with a suitable lubricant to ease the connection process, if necessary.
