FAQs
What is the purpose of the long spigot tail?
The long spigot tail is inserted into the socket of another fitting to create a secure and leak-proof connection.
What is solvent weld, and why is it used?
Solvent welding is a technique that uses a chemical solvent to fuse plastic pipes and fittings together, creating a permanent, watertight seal.
Can I use this bend with other pipe sizes?
No, this bend is specifically designed for use with 110mm soil pipe systems.
How do I know if the solvent weld has cured properly?
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the solvent cement used. Generally, allow at least 24 hours for full curing.
What should I do if the pipe bend gets damaged?
Replace the damaged bend immediately to prevent leaks and maintain the integrity of the drainage system.
What are the color options?
The FloPlast Soil Pipe Bend is available in black and olive grey.
Where should the push-fit joint be installed?
The push-fit joint should always be installed at the top or upper end of the system.
Troubleshooting
Joint leaks after installation.
Ensure the solvent weld was properly applied and allowed to cure fully. Re-weld the joint if necessary.
Difficulty in aligning the pipe bend.
Use pipe supports to maintain alignment during the curing process.
