TYCNER 1331 Flexible Bend 50 mm

The TYCNER 1331 flexible bend is a high-quality plumbing component engineered for efficient drainage connections in internal sewerage systems. With a diameter of 50 mm, this versatile connector provides a reliable solution for redirecting wastewater flow in residential and commercial environments. Its flexible design allows for seamless integration into complex plumbing layouts where rigid pipes cannot be installed, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this flexible bend is its exceptional adaptability, as it allows for an adjustable angle of tilt ranging from 1 to 180 degrees. This flexibility simplifies installation in confined spaces and reduces the need for multiple rigid fittings. Constructed from durable, high-grade plastic, the component is resistant to common household chemicals and ensures long-term performance. The white finish provides a clean, professional appearance suitable for exposed installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting sinks and washbasins to the main drainage system
• Installation in tight or awkward plumbing spaces
• Adapting existing sewerage lines during renovations
• Temporary or permanent drainage configurations

When it may not be suitable

This flexible bend is intended for internal sewerage applications and should not be used in high-pressure systems or for transporting hot, corrosive industrial chemicals that exceed the material's thermal or chemical resistance limits. It is also not designed for outdoor use where it may be exposed to direct UV radiation or freezing temperatures.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 50 mm
• Angle of tilt: 1 - 180°
• Material: Plastic
• Color: White
• Application: Internal sewerage

How to use

To install the TYCNER 1331 flexible bend, ensure the existing pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Insert the bend into the pipe fittings, ensuring the seals are properly seated to prevent leaks. Adjust the bend to the required angle to align with your drainage path. Once positioned, verify that the connection is secure and that there is a slight downward slope to facilitate gravity-fed water flow.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing pipe diameter is exactly 50 mm
• Ensure the installation area allows for the required bending radius
• Check local building codes regarding the use of flexible versus rigid piping

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for any signs of leakage or blockage, especially if the bend is installed in a high-traffic area. Avoid placing heavy objects on the flexible section to prevent deformation or restricted flow.
