FAQs
What type of pipe does the WS66W connect to?
The WS66W is designed to connect to 50mm ABS solvent weld pipework.
What adhesive should I use with this fitting?
You must use an ABS-specific solvent cement designed for solvent welding plastic pipes.
Can this bend be used for hot water pipes?
No, this fitting is designed for cold waste water systems only and is not suitable for hot water or potable water applications.
How tight should the solvent weld joint be?
The joint should be pushed together firmly and held for approximately 30 seconds to ensure a secure bond while the cement sets. Avoid forcing or over-twisting.
What is the main purpose of this 45-degree bend?
Its primary purpose is to create a smooth, controlled 45-degree directional change in a waste water pipe run.
Is this fitting suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, it's primarily intended for indoor residential waste systems. Prolonged exposure to UV or extreme temperatures might affect the material over time.
What does 'Spigot Bend' mean?
A spigot end is the protruding part of the fitting, which inserts into the socket (the hollow end) of another pipe or fitting.
Troubleshooting
Joint leakage after installation
Ensure the correct type and amount of ABS solvent cement was used, and that surfaces were clean and properly aligned during assembly. Allow adequate curing time. If leakage persists, the joint may need to be cut out and redone.
Difficulty connecting pipes
Verify that both the spigot and socket are the correct 50mm size and free from obstructions or damage. Ensure sufficient solvent cement has been applied to slightly soften the surfaces for easier entry.
Pipework not aligning correctly
The 45-degree bend is designed for specific directional changes. If a different angle is required, additional fittings or longer pipe sections may be needed to achieve the desired alignment.
