The FloPlast Solvent Weld 90 Degree Conversion Bend is a robust solution for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to redirect 50mm waste pipe systems. It provides a permanent, leak-proof connection that optimizes hydraulic flow within domestic plumbing setups. While it offers exceptional durability and a clean finish, users should note that because it requires solvent welding, the installation is permanent and cannot be easily disassembled once the chemical bond has cured.

No, this is specifically designed for solvent weld connections and should not be used with push-fit pipes.
Yes, it is designed for standard waste water temperatures, but always check local plumbing codes for specific thermal requirements.
It is recommended to wait at least one hour for the initial set, though 24 hours is ideal for the joint to reach full chemical bond strength.
You will need a fine-tooth saw, a file for deburring, and a high-quality solvent weld cement.
The material is UV-stabilized, but like all plastics, it performs best when kept away from direct, constant harsh sunlight.
Usually caused by insufficient solvent coverage or gaps in the pipe cut; re-cut the pipe if possible or apply additional solvent weld around the external fillet if safe.
Ensure the pipe end has been deburred and is not ovalled; check for dried debris inside the socket.
For installation, measure and cut your 50mm pipe square, then use a file to remove any burrs from the edge to ensure full insertion. Apply a generous, even layer of solvent weld cement to both the external surface of the pipe and the internal socket of the conversion bend. Push the pipe fully into the fitting with a slight twisting motion to distribute the cement evenly, then hold for approximately 30 seconds to allow the initial bond to set. The joint will reach full strength within 24 hours. Keep the area well-ventilated during application. For maintenance, periodically inspect the surrounding pipework for signs of external damage, though the joint itself requires no ongoing care due to its welded nature.
