Does this bend come with instructions?

While specific printed instructions may vary, this guide provides detailed setup and care information. Ensure you follow best practices for PVCu solvent cementing.

Troubleshooting

Leaking joint

Ensure the PVCu solvent cement was applied correctly and the joint was held for the recommended curing time. Inspect for cracks in the pipe or fitting. Re-cement if necessary, ensuring clean surfaces.

Water pooling around the base of the downpipe

Check the entire downpipe run for blockages, especially at the offset bend and the bottom outlet. Ensure the downpipe is correctly sloped towards the drainage point. Clear any obstructions.

The offset bend does not fit correctly

Verify that you are attempting to connect to another 65mm square Polypipe component. Ensure no damage or deformation has occurred to the fitting or the pipe end.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and weather-resistant PVCu material.
  • Modern square profile for contemporary aesthetics.
  • Precise 112.5-degree angle for complex installations.
  • Compatible with the wider Polypipe rainwater system.
  • Facilitates efficient high-capacity water management.

Cons

  • Specific 65mm square profile may limit compatibility with non-Polypipe or round systems.
  • Requires a full Polypipe system for optimal integration.
  • Color is fixed at black, may not suit all color schemes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the existing downpipe and the intended connection point are clean and free of debris.
  2. Apply a suitable PVCu solvent cement to both the spigot end of the downpipe and the socket of the offset bend.
  3. Insert the spigot into the socket with a slight twisting motion to ensure even distribution of the cement.
  4. Hold the joint firmly for 30 seconds to allow the solvent to begin bonding.
  5. Allow the joint to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions before applying further stress or connecting subsequent components.

Compatibility:

This 65mm square offset bend is designed to integrate seamlessly with other 65mm square Polypipe downpipe system components. Verify that any existing or new pipework matches the 65mm square profile for a secure and watertight fit. It is not designed for use with round downpipes or different diameter square systems without appropriate adaptors (sold separately).

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the downpipe and bends for any signs of blockage, such as accumulated leaves or debris.
  • Clean the exterior of the bend with a damp cloth and mild soapy water if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Ensure all joints remain secure and free from leaks, especially after periods of extreme weather.
