FAQs

What is the angle of this knuckle bend?

This knuckle bend features a 90-degree angle.

What material is the knuckle bend made from?

The knuckle bend is made from durable polypropylene.

What size pipe does this fitting accommodate?

This fitting is designed for 40mm diameter waste pipes.

Can this fitting be used with solvent weld pipes?

No, this fitting is specifically designed for push-fit waste systems and is not compatible with solvent weld pipes without appropriate adaptors.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Ensure the pipe is clean, dry, and fully inserted into the fitting until it reaches the insertion mark. The push-fit system is designed to create a secure seal when properly connected.

Is this fitting suitable for outdoor use?

While polypropylene offers good resistance, it is primarily designed for indoor residential waste water systems. Prolonged UV exposure may affect its long-term properties.

What other components are compatible with this knuckle bend?

This knuckle bend is part of the Polypipe Waste Systems range and is compatible with other Polypipe push-fit waste components, including traps and overflow solutions.

Troubleshooting

Leaking connection

Ensure pipes are fully inserted into the fitting and the connection is square. Check for debris or damage on the pipe end or inside the fitting's seal. Re-seat the pipe if necessary.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Verify that the pipe is the correct 40mm diameter and that the fitting is not damaged. Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of obstructions. A small amount of silicone lubricant (not petroleum-based) can aid insertion if needed.

Fitting does not feel secure

Confirm that the pipe has been pushed in far enough to engage the internal sealing mechanism. Check the fitting for any cracks or defects that might compromise its grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the ends of the pipes to be joined are clean, dry, and free from burrs.
  2. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe spigot using a marker.
  3. Push the pipe firmly and squarely into the knuckle bend fitting until it reaches the insertion mark. Ensure the pipe is fully seated.
  4. Repeat for the other end of the knuckle bend.

Compatibility:

This fitting is designed to be used with other components within the Polypipe Waste Systems range. It is crucial to ensure that all connected pipes and fittings are compatible push-fit waste system components to guarantee a secure and watertight seal. Do not attempt to connect this fitting to solvent weld systems or non-standard piping without appropriate adaptors.

Care:

  • Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage, especially if there have been significant temperature fluctuations or system disturbances.
  • Clean the exterior of the fitting with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the polypropylene.
  • No internal maintenance is typically required beyond standard drain cleaning practices for the entire waste system.
