Product Information

Full details

The Polypipe 110mm Short Radius Bend Double Socket is designed for professional plumbers and builders needing reliable drainage redirection in underground systems. Its key benefit is the straightforward push-fit installation combined with durable PVCu construction, significantly reducing project time and ensuring secure joints. A potential caveat is that its terracotta finish, while aesthetically compatible with existing clay systems, is a specific design choice that may not suit all modern installations.

FAQs

What standards does this bend comply with?

The Polypipe 110mm Short Radius Bend is manufactured in the UK to BS EN 1401 and BS4660:2000 standards.

What is the angle of the bend?

This is a 30-degree bend.

What does 'double socket' mean?

A double socket means the fitting has two socket ends, allowing for connections from two directions or facilitating connections to two separate pipes.

Can this bend be used with clay drainage pipes?

While the terracotta finish is designed for aesthetic compatibility, this PVCu bend is intended for connection with other 110mm PVCu drainage systems that meet the specified British Standards. Direct connection to traditional clay pipes may require specific adaptors.

Is this suitable for high-pressure systems?

No, this bend is designed for gravity drainage and sewerage systems and is not intended for high-pressure applications.

What is the benefit of the snap-cap system?

The snap-cap system ensures a secure, watertight joint upon insertion, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional sealing methods.

How do I clean this fitting?

PVCu fittings require minimal cleaning. Periodically check for blockages in the drainage system. If cleaning is necessary, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting pipe into socket

Ensure pipe ends and socket are clean and dry. Apply a water-based lubricant to the pipe spigot and socket. Do not force the connection.

Leaking joint

Confirm the pipe is fully inserted into the socket and the seal is correctly seated. Check for damage to the seal or pipe ends. Ensure the system is not experiencing excessive pressure.

Connection appears loose

Verify the snap-cap mechanism has engaged correctly. Ensure the pipe is fully seated within the socket.
