The Polypipe WS49B Solvent Weld ABS Spigot Bend is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on residential waste water drainage systems. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable and secure 45-degree directional change, ensuring efficient flow. A key consideration is that solvent weld requires specific primer and cement for proper jointing, which are sold separately. This 40mm black ABS bend integrates seamlessly into Polypipe's waste management range, offering durable, leak-resistant connections for various sanitaryware and appliance drainage needs.

A spigot bend is used in drainage systems to change the direction of pipe flow, typically for routing waste pipes around obstacles or connecting different components.
Yes, you will need a pipe cutter, solvent cement primer, and solvent weld cement specifically designed for ABS plastic, along with a clean cloth for application.
No, this product is designed specifically for waste water drainage systems and is not suitable for pressurized hot water lines.
This is a 45-degree spigot bend.
Proper preparation of the pipe ends, correct application of primer and cement, and holding the joint firmly during the initial set are crucial for a leak-proof solvent weld connection.
While ABS has some UV resistance, prolonged direct sunlight exposure may degrade the material over time. It is primarily intended for indoor domestic drainage systems.
Ensure proper surface preparation (cleanliness, dryness) and correct application of primer and cement. Verify the pipe was fully inserted and held during the initial set time. Leaks often indicate insufficient solvent or poor jointing technique.
Check for obstructions or debris inside the socket or on the spigot. Ensure you are using the correct 40mm diameter components. Slight chamfering of the spigot end may help, but avoid over-chamfering which can weaken the joint.
Ensure you are using the correct type of solvent cement and primer recommended for ABS plastic. Check the temperature and humidity conditions, as extreme cold or high humidity can affect curing times. Use fresh solvent products.
