Davant Solvent Weld Pipe Bend - 40mm

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
