PVC Bend InstalPlast 160x15 – InstalPlast PVC pipe elbow 160 mm x 15°

InstalPlast PVC Bend 160 x 15° is a rigid PVC-U elbow with a 160 mm nominal diameter and a 15° deflection, intended for use in external sewer and drainage systems to change the direction of non-pressurized wastewater flows. Made of unplasticized PVC (PVC-U) in orange-brown color, the fitting resists many chemicals and impacts, provides a smooth internal surface to minimise deposits, and is compatible with the InstalPlast range of sewer pipes and fittings. Each bend includes a socket with a siliconeized rubber seal for a tight, easy-to-install joint.

Advantages

The InstalPlast PVC bend offers chemical resistance for wastewater with pH 2–12 and temperature resistance for continuous service up to +40°C (short-term up to +60°C). Its PVC-U construction ensures high strength and impact resistance while the smooth internal surface reduces scale and sediment buildup. The siliconeized seal in the socket joint simplifies assembly and creates a reliable leak-resistant connection without additional adhesives.

Suitable for

• External gravity (non-pressurized) sewer and drainage systems
• Underground sewer runs beneath roads, embankments, or other engineered routes
• Applications requiring a gentle 15° change of direction in drainage or ventilation piping

Key specifications

• Model: InstalPlast PVC Bend 160x15 (MPN 8027340, EAN 8600198027340)
• Nominal diameter: 160 mm
• Angle: 15°
• Material: unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U)
• Colour: orange-brown
• Service temperature: continuous up to +40°C, short-term up to +60°C
• Suitable fluid pH range: 2–12
• Connection: socket with siliconeized rubber seal

How to use

Position the elbow to achieve the required 15° change in pipe direction and insert the plain pipe end into the socket until it seats against the rubber seal. Ensure pipe ends are clean and free of debris before assembly. Align the pipe and fitting concentrically to avoid distortion of the seal. No solvent welding is required for the siliconeized socket joint; follow local installation codes and best practices for trench bedding, backfill, and slope to maintain gravity flow.

Usage recommendations

Use the InstalPlast PVC bend in gravity sewer and drainage systems within the specified pH and temperature limits. Avoid mechanical loads or bending stresses on the joint after installation and protect exposed fittings from prolonged UV exposure where applicable.
