The FloPlast 160mm 45 Degree Underground Drainage Bend is ideal for plumbing professionals and serious DIYers tasked with installing or modifying large-scale underground piping systems. This fitting excels at facilitating smooth 45-degree directional changes in 160mm drainage networks, providing a robust and watertight connection through its push-fit design. While highly reliable, users should note that the large pipe diameter requires careful handling and the consistent application of lubricant is essential for successful installation.

No special tools are required, though a pipe chamfering tool and silicone lubricant will significantly ease the installation process.
Apply more silicone lubricant to the pipe end and the internal seal.
Check that the pipe is inserted fully, ensure the seal is not displaced, and verify the pipe end is chamfered properly.
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.
