FAQs

Does this bend require glue or solvent weld?

No, this is a push-fit fitting that utilizes a captive rubber seal to create a watertight connection.

Is this suitable for surface water or foul drainage?

Yes, this fitting is designed for use in standard underground drainage systems for both surface water and foul applications.

Can I use this with 110mm pipe?

No, this fitting is specifically sized for 160mm underground drainage pipes.

What should I do if the rubber seal is missing or damaged?

You should not use the fitting; the integrity of the seal is critical for preventing groundwater infiltration or sewage exfiltration.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No special tools are required, though a pipe chamfering tool and silicone lubricant will significantly ease the installation process.

Troubleshooting

Joint is difficult to push together

Apply more silicone lubricant to the pipe end and the internal seal.

Water leaking at the connection point

Check that the pipe is inserted fully, ensure the seal is not displaced, and verify the pipe end is chamfered properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure watertight seal via captive rubber rings
  • Efficient directional flow management
  • Quick and easy installation with push-fit joints
  • Compatible with standard 160mm underground drainage systems

Cons

  • Requires silicone lubricant for proper assembly
  • Large size necessitates sufficient trench clearance
  • Rubber seals must be kept clean to prevent leakage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should always begin by ensuring the pipe end is chamfered and free of debris. Apply a generous amount of silicone lubricant to both the pipe and the seal to reduce friction during insertion. The system is designed to be compatible with all standard 160mm PVC underground drainage pipe. For maintenance, ensure the pipework is properly bedded in sand or granular material to prevent excessive ground movement from stressing the joint connection.
