Suitable for most standard size waste pipes (excluding solvent weld waste). Swivel bends are used to create a tight radius 90 degree change of direction in a waste pipe system. They are also often referred to as M and F bends or spigot bends. They have a long tail that is usually inserted into the socket of another fitting. This fitting is available in 32mm and 40mm size options. This push fit waste system is manufactured in the UK to BS EN 1451 and is British Standard kitemarked. When making a push fit joint, cut the pipe square and remove any burrs, push the pipe into the fitting as far as it will go and then withdraw it by approximately 10mm to allow for any expansion. The joint can be taken apart again if required, but always check that the O ring has not been dislodged from its housing groove in the fitting as this will cause the joint to leak.
