Product Information
Full details
The Davant Push Fit Pipe Bend is an essential plumbing component designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a reliable, leakproof connection for 40mm pipe systems. Its primary benefit is the tool-free push-fit mechanism, which significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional solvent-weld fittings; however, it is important to ensure the pipe ends are perfectly deburred and clean to maintain the integrity of the internal rubber seals.

FAQs
Can this bend be used with hot water?
It is designed for standard residential waste water temperatures typically found in sink and basin drainage systems.
Is any solvent weld glue required?
No, this is a push-fit fitting and does not require glues, solvents, or soldering.
Can I remove the pipe once it is pushed in?
Yes, unlike solvent-weld fittings, these can generally be removed by pulling firmly, though it may require significant force.
Does this work on both plastic and copper pipes?
This fitting is specifically designed for standard 40mm plastic waste pipe systems.
What tools do I need for installation?
You only need a pipe cutter or hacksaw to size the pipe and a file to deburr the edges.
Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking
Remove the pipe and inspect the internal rubber O-ring for damage or debris. Ensure the pipe end is not cracked or jagged.
Pipe will not insert fully
Verify the pipe is 40mm diameter and that the end has been properly deburred. Ensure the internal seal is correctly seated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-free installation saves significant time
- High corrosion resistance ensures long service life
- Consistent and secure leakproof performance
- Easy to remove and reconfigure if necessary
Cons
- Requires perfectly square and deburred pipe ends
- Not suitable for high-pressure water systems
- Seal integrity can be compromised by debris
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your 40mm pipe is cut cleanly and square. Use a file or deburring tool to remove any sharp plastic shards from the pipe edge, as these can damage the fitting’s internal seals. Optionally, use a silicone-based lubricant on the pipe tip to ease insertion. Compatibility is restricted to standard 40mm waste pipes; do not attempt to force this onto incompatible sizes. Care involves periodic checks for moisture around the joints. If the unit remains undisturbed and the pipes are properly supported with standard pipe clips, the fitting requires no ongoing maintenance.
