WAVIN pipe bend S&W 50x45 PVC grey

WAVIN pipe bend S&W 50x45 PVC grey is a 50 mm diameter 45° elbow designed for drainage and sewer systems. Made from PVC, the fitting provides a compact change of direction for wastewater and stormwater pipes and is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where corrosion resistance, chemical stability and easy assembly are required.

Advantages

The PVC construction offers long-term resistance to corrosion and most common wastewater chemicals while remaining lightweight for easier handling. The 45° angle allows smoother flow transitions than a 90° bend, helping to reduce turbulence and the risk of blockages in gravity drainage. The standardized dimensions permit reliable jointing with compatible drainage sockets and seals, enabling fast installation and maintenance access when needed.

Suitable for

• Residential wastewater drainage systems
• Stormwater and rainwater downpipe connections
• Light commercial plumbing and internal soil stacks
• Repair or modification of existing PVC drainage runs

Key specifications

• Material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Nominal diameter: 50 mm
• Angle: 45°
• Colour: grey
• Application: gravity drainage and sewer systems

How to use

Select the appropriate pipe lengths and compatible sockets or seals for 50 mm PVC drainage. Ensure cut pipe ends are square and clean from debris, then insert the pipe end into the bend socket to the marked insertion depth. Use the manufacturer-recommended lubricant or sealant if applicable and secure joints according to local plumbing standards. Support the bend and adjacent pipework to prevent undue stress at joints and allow adequate access for inspection.

Usage recommendations

Use this 45° PVC bend for gravity drainage applications only; avoid exposure to sustained high temperatures or aggressive solvents. Follow local building codes for gradient, support spacing and jointing methods to maintain reliable drainage performance.
