Securplumb Compression 135° Bend (32mm & 40mm)

Product Overview:

The Securplumb Compression 135° Bend is a durable and reliable waste pipe fitting designed to connect two pipes at a 135-degree angle. This bend provides a smoother flow transition than a 90° bend, helping to maintain optimal drainage and reduce the risk of blockages. Available in both 32mm and 40mm sizes, it is compatible with standard UK waste systems and offers a secure, watertight connection via compression fittings—without the need for adhesives or soldering.

Whether used in new installations, renovations, or repairs, this component is essential for navigating complex plumbing routes, particularly in confined spaces or systems that require gentle directional changes for efficient flow.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Optimised Flow Efficiency:
  The 135° bend ensures a smoother directional change compared to sharper elbows, promoting better flow and reducing debris buildup.

• Easy-to-Install Compression Fittings:
  Designed for quick assembly using hand-tightened compression joints—no glue, welding, or specialist tools required.

• Flexible Application:
  Suitable for a wide range of installations, including kitchen sinks, utility rooms, baths, basins, and appliances with complex waste routes.

• Durable Construction:
  Manufactured from impact-resistant polypropylene to withstand household chemicals, hot water, and physical stress.

• Low-Maintenance & Leak-Resistant:
  Compression rings form a tight, reliable seal, and the fitting can be disassembled for cleaning or repositioning without losing integrity.

• Universal Compatibility:
  Works with most standard UK plastic waste pipe systems. Ideal for retrofitting or upgrading existing plumbing.

Common Applications:

• Creating a gentle directional change in horizontal waste lines

• Avoiding sharp 90° turns in kitchen or bathroom installations

• Connecting basin or sink waste to main drain line with reduced backflow risk

• Modifying pipe direction in tight spaces behind walls or under units

• Improving flow characteristics to reduce blockages and odours

Installation Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   Ensure all pipe ends are clean, smooth, and cut squarely. Remove any burrs or debris that could compromise the seal.

2. Disassemble Fitting:
   Loosen the compression nuts and slide the nuts and washers onto the pipe ends.

3. Position Fitting:
   Insert pipe ends fully into each side of the 135° bend and push until firmly seated.

4. Tighten Compression Nuts:
   Hand-tighten the nuts, then turn an additional quarter-turn with an adjustable wrench if necessary. Avoid over-tightening.

5. Test System:
   Run water through the system to ensure there are no leaks. Re-tighten if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What is the benefit of a 135° bend over a 90° bend?
A: A 135° bend reduces the likelihood of blockages by offering a gentler change in direction, improving flow and lowering resistance in the pipe system.

Q: Can this fitting be used with both solvent weld and push-fit pipes?
A: This is a compression fitting, so it is compatible with most types of rigid plastic pipes, including solvent weld and push-fit, as long as the external diameter matches (32mm or 40mm).

Q: Is it suitable for hot water waste?
A: Yes, the polypropylene material is designed to handle hot wastewater typically discharged from household sinks and appliances.

Q: Can the fitting be reused?
A: Absolutely. The compression mechanism allows the fitting to be disassembled, cleaned, repositioned, or reused multiple times.

Q: Does it require any sealant or tape?
A: No additional sealants are required. The compression washer provides a watertight seal when properly installed.

Summary:

The Securplumb Compression 135° Bend offers an efficient, adaptable, and professional-grade solution for altering pipe directions without compromising performance. Its robust design, user-friendly installation, and high compatibility make it a reliable choice for waste plumbing in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas. Whether for new construction, renovation, or repair, this fitting delivers reliable flow control and long-term durability.
