Product Information

Full details

The Polypipe WS66W Spigot Bend is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to create precise 45-degree directional changes in residential waste water systems. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-resistant connection using durable ABS material. A potential caveat is its specific application with solvent weld systems, requiring compatible ABS pipes. This component facilitates efficient drainage routing in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas, ensuring reliable waste water management.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting ABS material
  • Facilitates precise 45-degree directional changes
  • Creates secure, leak-resistant solvent weld joints
  • Standard 50mm size for broad compatibility within ABS systems
  • Suitable for various residential drainage applications

Cons

  • Requires specific ABS solvent cement for installation
  • Not suitable for pressure applications
  • Limited to 45-degree bends; other angles require different fittings
  • Primarily for waste water, not potable water systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the spigot end of the bend and the socket of the connecting pipe are clean and dry.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of ABS solvent cement to both surfaces according to the cement manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Immediately push the spigot into the socket with a slight twisting motion to ensure full coverage.
  4. Hold firmly for approximately 30 seconds to prevent the parts from separating while the cement begins to set.
  5. Allow the joint to cure for the time recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before disturbing the pipework.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed for use with 50mm ABS solvent weld pipework only.
  • It is intended for non-pressurised waste water systems.
  • Use only ABS-specific solvent cement.

Care:

  • This component is maintenance-free under normal operating conditions.
  • Periodically inspect joints for any signs of leakage or damage. If found, the affected section may need to be replaced.
