Description
The SWR Reducing Bend 45° is a versatile and essential component for creating smooth, efficient directional changes in your SWR (Soil, Waste, and Rainwater) drainage system. Made from high-grade uPVC, this fitting is designed to create a gentle 45-degree angle in the piping while simultaneously reducing the pipe size.
Uses:
-
Changing Pipe Direction: It is primarily used to alter the path of a drainage pipe by a 45-degree angle. This is often necessary to navigate around obstacles, corner walls, or to align the pipe with a different fixture or stack.
-
Reducing Pipe Diameter: This fitting is a two-in-one solution that not only changes direction but also connects a larger pipe to a smaller one (e.g., a 6-inch main line to a 4-inch branch line). This is a crucial function for optimizing flow.
-
Creating a Smooth Transition: The 45-degree angle is less aggressive than a 90-degree bend, which helps to maintain a more consistent flow velocity and reduces the risk of turbulence and blockages.
Advantages:
-
Superior Flow Dynamics: The 45-degree angle is a significant advantage over a sharp 90-degree bend. It allows waste and water to flow smoothly around the corner, which prevents debris from building up and reduces the chance of clogs. This is especially important in horizontal runs where gravity has less influence.
-
Versatile Solution: By combining the function of a bend and a reducer into a single fitting, you simplify the installation process and reduce the number of components required. This saves time, labor, and can also lead to fewer potential leak points in your system.
-
High Durability and Longevity: As a uPVC fitting, it is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and the chemicals found in typical wastewater. This robust construction ensures a long service life and a reliable, leak-proof performance for decades.
-
Easy Installation: Its lightweight nature and standard design make it easy to install using a push-fit or solvent cement method, which is both time and cost-efficient.
-
Cost-Effective: By providing a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that helps prevent costly blockages and repairs, this fitting is an excellent long-term investment for the health of your drainage system.
