FAQs

What size pipe does this bend fit?

What is solvent weld?

Solvent welding is a method of joining plastic pipes using a solvent cement that chemically fuses the two pieces together.

What type of solvent cement should I use?

Use a solvent cement specifically designed for ABS plastic.

How long should I wait for the solvent weld to set?

Refer to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions for the recommended curing time.

Can I use this bend for hot water applications?

No, this bend is designed for cold water waste applications.

How do I clean the bend?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What should I do if the joint leaks after installation?

Disassemble the joint, clean the parts, reapply solvent cement, and reassemble, holding firmly for the recommended time.

Is this bend suitable for outdoor use?

This bend is suitable for indoor use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as it may degrade the ABS material.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the joint after installation

Ensure proper solvent welding technique was used. Disassemble the joint, clean the parts, reapply solvent cement, and reassemble, holding firmly for the recommended time.

Difficulty in inserting the pipe into the bend

Ensure both the pipe and the bend socket are clean and free of obstructions. Use the correct solvent cement, and apply it evenly. Make sure the pipe and bend are the correct size.

Slow drainage or clogs

Check for blockages in the pipe run, including the bend. Use a plumbing snake or other appropriate tool to clear any obstructions.
