FAQs

What type of pipe does this bend work with?

This Davant pipe bend is designed for 40mm diameter pipes that use a solvent weld system.

Do I need special tools to install this?

You will need a pipe cutter (if modifying pipe length), a deburring tool, a primer, and a solvent weld cement specifically designed for plastic pipes. Gloves are also recommended.

How long does the bond take to cure?

Curing times vary depending on the specific solvent weld cement used and environmental conditions. Always refer to the cement manufacturer's instructions for recommended handling and full cure times.

Can I use this for hot water pipes?

This pipe bend is typically intended for cold water or drainage systems. For high-temperature applications, consult the product specifications and appropriate plumbing codes, or consider alternative materials.

What is the purpose of the 45-degree angle?

The 45-degree angle allows for a gradual change in direction of the pipe, which is useful for routing pipes around obstacles or creating specific configurations in your plumbing system.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

The plastic construction is generally resistant to corrosion. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (UV radiation) might degrade the plastic over time. For outdoor applications, ensure the material is rated for such exposure.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the joint after installation

Ensure the correct solvent weld cement and primer were used and applied properly. Re-cut the pipe, clean surfaces, re-apply primer and cement, and re-join, holding firmly for the recommended time. Check that the pipe was fully inserted into the fitting.

Difficulty inserting pipe into the bend

Verify that you are using a 40mm pipe with a 40mm fitting. Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and deburred. Gently twist the pipe into the fitting while applying solvent cement.

Slow drainage after installation

Check for blockages within the pipe system or at the point of connection. Ensure the 45-degree angle does not create an unintended dip or trap where debris can accumulate. A full system flush may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a precise 45-degree angle for effective pipe routing.
  • Solvent weld design ensures a strong and reliable connection.
  • Constructed from durable plastic for long-term use.
  • Designed for straightforward and quick installation.
  • Aims to prevent leaks, maintaining system integrity.

Cons

  • Requires specific solvent weld cement for proper bonding.
  • Limited to 40mm pipe diameters.
  • Plastic material may not be suitable for extremely high-pressure or high-temperature applications.
  • Not designed for threaded connections.
  • Installation requires attention to detail to ensure a perfect seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both the pipe ends and the inside of the pipe bend are clean and dry.
  2. Apply the appropriate solvent weld cement evenly to both surfaces.
  3. Immediately insert the pipe into the bend with a slight twisting motion to ensure even cement distribution.
  4. Hold the joint firmly for 30-60 seconds to prevent movement.
  5. Allow the recommended curing time for the solvent cement before running water through the system (refer to cement manufacturer's instructions).

Compatibility:

  • This pipe bend is specifically designed for 40mm diameter pipes compatible with solvent weld systems.
  • It requires the use of a suitable solvent weld cement and primer for plastic pipes.

Care:

  • No specific ongoing care is required for the pipe bend itself under normal operating conditions.
  • Periodically check the overall plumbing system for any signs of leaks.
