Product Information

Full details

This Polypipe Waste Solvent Weld ABS Swept Bend is designed for residential plumbing professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable wastewater drainage. Its key benefit is the 92.5° swept configuration that ensures smooth waste flow, significantly reducing the risk of blockages. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with ABS solvent weld systems, requiring dedicated joining techniques.

FAQs

What type of solvent cement should I use?

For optimal performance and a secure bond, use a solvent cement specifically designed for ABS pipework, as recommended by Polypipe.

Can I use this fitting with PVC pipes?

No, this ABS fitting is designed for ABS solvent weld systems only and is not compatible with PVC or other pipe materials.

What is the maximum temperature this fitting can handle?

ABS solvent weld systems are typically rated for hot and cold water applications found in residential settings, but prolonged exposure to very high temperatures should be avoided. Consult Polypipe technical data for specific temperature limits.

How do I clean the inside of the fitting if it gets dirty before installation?

Use a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the fitting is completely dry before applying solvent cement for a proper weld.

Is this fitting suitable for underground drainage?

This fitting is designed for above-ground residential waste systems. For underground applications, please refer to Polypipe's specific drainage system components suitable for burial.

What is the significance of the 92.5° angle?

The 92.5° angle provides a smoother transition for waste flow compared to a sharp 90° bend, reducing the likelihood of blockages and improving system efficiency.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation

Ensure correct application of ABS solvent cement, adequate curing time, and that the pipe was fully inserted into the socket. Re-cut pipe and fitting, clean surfaces, and re-weld if necessary.

Blockages occurring frequently

Verify that the 92.5° swept bend is correctly oriented for optimal flow. Check for potential obstructions further down the waste line. Ensure no debris was left in the pipe during installation.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Ensure both pipe end and fitting socket are clean and free of debris. A slight chamfer on the pipe end can aid insertion. Do not force the pipe; excessive force can damage the joint preparation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures smooth waste flow, reducing blockage risks.
  • Provides secure, leak-resistant connections with solvent weld system.
  • Offers clean integration with existing white domestic plumbing.
  • Part of a compatible, comprehensive waste management system.
  • Durable ABS material for long-term use.

Cons

  • Requires specific solvent cement for ABS, not universally compatible with other pipe materials.
  • The 92.5° angle may not be suitable for all routing requirements.
  • Primarily designed for residential applications; may not meet commercial standards.
  • Installation requires proper ventilation and adherence to solvent welding procedures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket are clean and dry.
  2. Apply Polypipe's recommended ABS solvent cement evenly to both surfaces using the applicator.
  3. Immediately push the pipe fully into the fitting socket with a slight twisting motion.
  4. Hold the joint firmly for approximately 30 seconds to prevent movement while the cement sets.
  5. Allow adequate curing time (refer to solvent cement manufacturer's instructions, typically 24 hours for full strength) before running water through the system.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed for use exclusively with Polypipe ABS waste pipe systems and other compatible ABS solvent weld pipework.
  • It is intended for use with 32mm diameter ABS pipes.
  • Not suitable for use with solvent weld systems for other materials like PVC or copper.

Care:

  • No specific ongoing maintenance is required beyond routine plumbing checks.
  • Avoid flushing the system with harsh chemicals that could degrade ABS or solvent weld joints.
