FAQs
What is the primary use of this 135° bend?
The primary use is to create a smooth, efficient directional change in 110mm residential soil and vent drainage systems, facilitating the flow of waste and foul air.
Can I use this bend with non-Polypipe pipes?
While designed for the Polypipe PolySoil® range, it may be compatible with other 110mm pipes that meet relevant standards. However, for guaranteed performance and warranty, using with the Polypipe system is recommended.
What are the two connection methods mentioned?
The two methods are 'push fit ring seal,' which uses a rubber seal for a flexible connection, and 'solvent weld,' which uses a chemical adhesive for a permanent bond.
Is this product suitable for underground drainage?
This PolySoil® bend is designed for above-ground soil and vent applications. For underground drainage, Polypipe offers specific ranges like 'Sewerage and Drainage' which might be more appropriate.
How do I clean this fitting if it becomes blocked?
For minor blockages, you can use a drain snake or rod. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, as these can degrade the PVC material over time. Regular flushing with water is recommended for maintenance.
What is the advantage of a 135° bend over a 90° bend?
A 135° bend allows for a more gradual change in direction compared to a standard 90° bend. This can be crucial in tight spaces or to maintain smoother flow, reducing the risk of blockages.
Can this bend be painted?
Painting is not generally recommended as it may affect the material properties and could void warranties. The product is supplied in grey for functional use within the drainage system.
Troubleshooting
Leak at joint connection
Ensure pipe is fully inserted into the socket for push-fit connections. Check that the ring seal is correctly seated and not damaged. For solvent weld, verify that the joint was held correctly during the curing process and that sufficient cement was used.
Slow drainage or blockages
Check for obstructions within the bend or connected pipes. Ensure the system has adequate ventilation (e.g., via an air admittance valve). Avoid flushing excessive amounts of solid waste or non-biodegradable items.
Difficulty pushing pipe into socket
Apply silicone lubricant to the spigot and inside of the socket. Ensure the pipe is straight and aligned correctly. If using solvent weld, ensure surfaces are clean and properly prepared.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Ensure pipe ends are clean, dry, and free from burrs. For solvent weld, lightly abrade and clean surfaces with appropriate cleaner.
Push-Fit Connection: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the socket or spigot. Insert the pipe fully into the socket until it meets the internal stop. Ensure the ring seal is properly seated.
Solvent Weld Connection: Apply solvent cement evenly to both the spigot and the inside of the socket. Immediately push the spigot into the socket with a quarter-turn to spread the cement. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent push-back.
Compatibility:
This 110mm bend is designed to connect with other 110mm Polypipe PolySoil® fittings and pipes.
Compatible with Polypipe's range of air admittance valves, fire protection sleeves, pan connectors, and fixing accessories.
Ensure connection methods (push-fit or solvent weld) are consistent or appropriate for the system being installed.
Care:
Under normal operating conditions, the PolySoil® system requires minimal maintenance.
Periodically check for any visible damage or leaks.
Avoid pouring harsh chemicals or grease down drains, as this can affect system components over time.
