FAQs

What size downpipe is this offset bend compatible with?

This offset bend is designed specifically for 68mm round downpipes.

What is the angle of this offset bend?

The offset bend features a 92.5-degree angle.

Can this bend be used with metal downpipes?

No, this offset bend is made from PVCu and is designed for use with PVCu downpipes. Compatibility with other materials is not guaranteed and may require specific adaptors or sealants.

How do I clean the offset bend?

You can clean the offset bend with a damp cloth and mild soap. 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 management applications.

What is the benefit of a PVCu construction?

PVCu offers excellent resistance to weathering, UV rays, and corrosion, ensuring durability and a long lifespan without rusting.

Do I need special tools to install this offset bend?

Installation typically requires a PVCu solvent cement, a pipe cutter for clean cuts, and a measuring tape. Ensure you follow the specific instructions for PVCu solvent cementing.

Troubleshooting

Downpipe leak at the offset bend connection.

Ensure the PVCu solvent cement was applied correctly and the joint was held firmly during installation. If the leak persists, the joint may need to be remade or a suitable PVCu sealant applied externally.

Reduced water flow through the offset bend.

Check for blockages from leaves, debris, or other obstructions within the bend and the connected downpipe sections. Clean the system thoroughly.

Offset bend does not fit securely.

Verify that you are using a 68mm round downpipe. Ensure the ends of the downpipe and the bend are clean and free from damage. If using solvent cement, ensure proper application and drying time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  4. Apply a suitable PVCu solvent cement to the connecting ends of the downpipe and the offset bend.
