The FloPlast Solvent Weld Waste Bend (WS16W) is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need to achieve a reliable 92.5-degree redirection in 50mm waste pipe systems. Its standout benefit is the swept, long-radius design that facilitates a self-cleansing flow, significantly reducing the likelihood of blockages in your drainage network. However, users must keep in mind that because this system relies on solvent welding, the resulting joint is permanent and cannot be disassembled once the cement has cured.

No, this is specifically designed for solvent weld systems. It does not contain the rubber seals necessary for push-fit compatibility.
Yes, if you need to match the pipes to a specific wall color, you can paint the exterior using a plastic-compatible primer and paint.
The swept design provides a longer, smoother radius that allows waste to flow without hitting a sharp corner, which promotes self-cleansing.
While the joint will feel firm within minutes, it is generally recommended to wait at least 15-30 minutes before subjecting it to water pressure.
It is manufactured to BS EN 1455 and is Kitemarked.
No. Solvent welding fuses the plastic together at a molecular level, making the joint permanent.
The surfaces were likely not cleaned properly or the cement was applied unevenly. Check for gaps; if the joint is not fully cured, you may be able to add a small amount of extra solvent to seal the gap.
Ensure the pipe end is deburred and free of jagged edges. If the pipe is oversized or out of round, it may not fit the 50mm tolerance of the socket.
Before installation, ensure that the 50mm pipe is cut square and deburred to prevent uneven sealing. Surfaces must be dry and free of oil, dust, or grease; a quick wipe with a cleaning agent is recommended. Apply the solvent cement evenly around the pipe exterior and the fitting interior, then insert the pipe into the bend with a slight twisting motion to distribute the cement. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling vapors. Once the joint is made, leave it undisturbed for at least 15 minutes before testing with water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the exterior finish, as a damp cloth is typically sufficient for cleaning.
