Product Information

Full details

This guide is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to connect two 40mm waste pipes at a 92.5-degree angle. Its key benefit is a smoother, increased flow rate due to the gradual bend, preventing blockages. A caveat is its specific compatibility with 40mm pipe; 43mm solvent weld fittings are not compatible. This product is a black, push-fit waste pipe bend designed for easy installation without glue or solvent.

FAQs

What size pipe does this waste bend fit?

This waste bend is designed specifically for 40mm diameter push-fit waste pipes.

Do I need glue or solvent to install this?

No, this is a push-fit fitting and does not require glue or solvent. The seal is made by the internal O-ring.

Can I use this with 43mm solvent weld pipes?

No, this fitting is only compatible with 40mm push-fit waste pipes. 43mm solvent weld systems require different fittings.

How do I prevent the pipes from pulling out?

You must fix the fitting in position using pipe clips or brackets after installation to prevent uncoupling.

What does the 92.5-degree angle achieve?

The 92.5-degree angle provides a more gradual curve than a standard 90-degree bend, which helps to increase flow rate and reduce the risk of blockages.

Is this fitting suitable for outdoor use?

While made of durable plastic, it is primarily designed for indoor plumbing waste systems. Exposure to extreme weather conditions or UV light may affect its longevity.

What is the weight of this product?

The weight of this product is approximately 0.110231131 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Leak at connection point

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting and that the O-ring is clean and seated correctly. Secure the fitting with pipe clips to prevent movement.

Pipe won't insert fully

Check that the pipe end is clean, cut squarely, and free of burrs. Ensure you are using the correct 40mm diameter pipe and that it is not deformed.

Fitting feels loose or prone to uncoupling

This fitting requires securing. Install pipe clips or brackets immediately adjacent to the fitting on both the pipe and the fitting itself to hold it firmly in place.

Discoloration or degradation of seal

Avoid prolonged contact with harsh cleaning chemicals. If the O-ring appears damaged, the fitting may need to be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and fast installation process.
  • Improved waste flow due to the swept design.
  • Secure, watertight seal with O-ring.
  • No need for solvents or adhesives.
  • Compact and lightweight design.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 40mm pipe, not other sizes.
  • Requires fixing in position to prevent uncoupling.
  • Not suitable for solvent weld systems.
  • Can potentially be dislodged if not secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure both 40mm waste pipes are clean and free from debris.
  2. Mark the desired insertion depth on both pipes (refer to fitting instructions if provided, typically around 25-30mm).
  3. Push one end of the waste pipe firmly into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop.
  4. Repeat for the second pipe.
  5. Crucially, once connected, fix the bend in position using appropriate pipe clips or brackets to prevent it from becoming uncoupled over time due to water pressure or movement.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed exclusively for 40mm diameter push-fit waste pipe and fittings.
  • It is not compatible with 43mm solvent weld pipe systems or any pipe with ABS printed on it.
  • Ensure your existing waste pipe system is 40mm push-fit type before installation.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior of the fitting with a damp cloth as needed.
  • Periodically check that the fitting remains securely fixed in place to maintain seal integrity.
  • Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners directly on the rubber O-ring seal, as this could degrade the material over time.
