FAQs
What type of pipe does this swivel bend work with?
This swivel bend is designed for use with 50mm ABS solvent weld waste pipes.
What is the angle of the bend?
The bend provides a 92.5-degree angle, allowing for precise directional changes in waste pipe runs.
Can this fitting be used with push-fit systems?
No, this fitting requires solvent cement for a permanent joint and is not compatible with push-fit systems.
What is ABS material?
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a strong plastic known for its impact resistance and ability to withstand higher operating temperatures, making it suitable for waste water applications.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
A watertight seal is achieved by properly cleaning and preparing the pipe and fitting, applying the correct solvent cement evenly, and holding the joint firmly for the recommended curing time.
Is the white color a standard finish?
Yes, the white finish is a standard color that integrates well with most common white plumbing components and fixtures.
Can I reuse the swivel function after cementing?
No, once the solvent cement has cured, the joint becomes permanent and the swivel function is locked into the final cemented position.
Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking after installation
Ensure the correct solvent cement was used and applied properly. Check that the pipe was fully inserted into the socket and held for the recommended time. Minor leaks might be addressable with a re-application of solvent cement if the joint is still accessible, otherwise, the section may need to be replaced.
Difficulty connecting pipe to fitting
Ensure both pipe and fitting are clean and free from obstructions. Verify that the correct size pipe (50mm ABS) is being used. If the pipe or fitting is deformed, it may need to be cut out and replaced.
Fitting does not achieve desired angle
Confirm the swivel mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the pipe is correctly seated within the swivel portion before cementing. The 92.5-degree angle is fixed once cemented.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure both the pipe end and the fitting socket are clean and dry.
Cut the pipe to the required length and deburr the end.
Apply a thin, even layer of Polypipe solvent cement (or a compatible ABS solvent cement) to both the pipe end and inside the fitting socket.
Immediately push the pipe fully into the fitting socket with a slight twisting motion.
Hold the joint firmly for at least 30 seconds to prevent movement.
Allow the joint to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions before applying water pressure.
