FAQs

What is the primary function of a downpipe offset bend?

An offset bend is used to change the direction of a downpipe, typically to navigate around obstacles on a building's facade such as eaves, window frames, or projections.

What material is the Polypipe offset bend made from?

The offset bend is manufactured from durable PVCu (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride), known for its weather resistance and longevity.

What color is this specific offset bend?

This particular model comes in a black finish.

Can this offset bend be used with 75mm round downpipes?

No, this offset bend is specifically designed for 68mm round downpipe systems and is not compatible with other sizes or profiles.

How do I clean the offset bend?

Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Is this product suitable for commercial buildings?

Yes, it is suitable for both residential and light commercial rainwater system installations.

What angle does this offset bend provide?

This offset bend features a 92.5-degree angle.

Troubleshooting

Downpipe leaks at the offset bend joint

Ensure the joint is properly assembled, with the pipe fully inserted into the socket. Check for any debris in the socket or on the pipe end. Reapply solvent cement if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.

Reduced water flow through the offset bend

Inspect the offset bend and connected pipes for blockages caused by leaves, twigs, or sediment. Clean out any obstructions.

Offset bend does not fit with existing pipework

Verify that both the offset bend and the existing pipework are Polypipe 68mm round components. Mismatched sizes or profiles will prevent a secure connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to PVCu material.
  • Provides a clean and efficient solution for redirecting downpipes.
  • Aesthetically pleasing black finish suitable for various architectural styles.
  • Simple and quick to install, saving time on site.
  • Integrates well with other Polypipe rainwater system parts.

Cons

  • Limited to 68mm round downpipe systems; not universally compatible.
  • Requires specific Polypipe connectors for a complete system.
  • The offset angle is fixed at 92.5 degrees, limiting flexibility for complex routing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The offset bend is designed for direct connection to other Polypipe 68mm round downpipe sections and fittings. Ensure the ends are clean and apply appropriate solvent cement (if recommended by Polypipe for the specific joint type) for a secure, watertight seal. Slide the pipe or fitting into the socket until it reaches the stop point.

Compatibility: This 68mm round offset bend is part of the Polypipe rainwater system and is compatible with other Polypipe 68mm round downpipe components. It is not designed for use with different sizes or profiles of downpipes or systems from other manufacturers.

Care: Clean the exterior of the bend periodically with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PVCu or its finish. Ensure the downpipe system, including the offset bend, is free from debris like leaves and sediment to maintain optimal water flow and prevent blockages.
