CPVC Bypass Bend

Description

The CPVC Bypass Bend is a highly specialized and practical fitting for solving common plumbing challenges in tight spaces. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this U-shaped fitting is expertly engineered to allow a pipe to “hop over” an existing line or a structural obstacle. It combines two 45-degree bends with a short straight section, all in one seamless piece. When joined with solvent cement, it creates a secure, leak-proof, and streamlined bypass.

Uses:

• Bypassing Other Pipes: The primary use of a bypass bend is to allow one pipe to cross over or under another pipe in a neat and efficient manner, which is crucial in crowded plumbing systems or installations in tight spaces.

• Navigating Obstacles: It is used to get around obstacles like a drainpipe, a stud, or a beam without having to use multiple elbows and short pipe segments, which reduces the number of potential leak points.

• Creating a Smooth Path: The smooth, pre-formed bends ensure a continuous and efficient flow path for the water, minimizing turbulence and pressure loss.

Advantages:

• Simplified Installation: The bypass bend’s one-piece design simplifies a complex task. It eliminates the need to cut and join multiple fittings and pipe sections, which significantly reduces installation time and labor.

• Fewer Potential Leak Points: By combining multiple bends into a single fitting, it reduces the number of solvent-welded joints required for a bypass. This increases the overall reliability of the system and reduces the chances of a leak.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, it is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: The material will not rust, scale, or corrode over time, ensuring a clean and consistent water flow. It is also resistant to a variety of common chemicals.
