FloPlast Solvent Soil Double Socket 135° Bend – SS563 110mm

Gentle changes of direction on glued soil runs come from the FloPlast Solvent Soil Double Socket 135° Bend SS563, which eases a 110mm solvent soil run through 45 degrees. Both ends are solvent sockets, so plain pipe goes into each.

Using the FloPlast Solvent Soil Double Socket 135° Bend SS563

Paired up, they step a stack sideways past a beam or wall plate. A single one changes the line of a soil run more gently than a 90, which helps flow and makes rodding easier.

Because both ends are sockets, cut short lengths of pipe to link fittings in an offset. Dry fit the whole offset and mark it, since the angles must line up and the cement sets quickly.

Coat both surfaces, push home, hold and wipe away surplus. Clip the pipe on each side so the bend does not carry the weight of the stack.

On an outside wall, step back and check the line before the last joint is glued.

Common Questions

Can a soil pipe have bends in it? Yes, that’s what fittings like this 135° bend are for, whether you’re easing a branch into the stack or taking it down towards the drain. Clip close to each bend so the joints aren’t carrying the weight.

Can I bend soil pipe instead of using a fitting? No, rigid PVC-U soil pipe isn’t bent. You change direction with a moulded bend like the SS563.

Is a 135° bend the same as a 45° bend? Yes, it’s the same fitting named two ways. The pipe turns through 45°, leaving 135° across the inside of the angle.

Why are some soil bends 92.5° rather than 90°? The extra couple of degrees gives the pipe coming off the bend a slight built-in fall, so waste keeps moving.

How do I make an offset with these bends? Use two bends with a short piece of pipe between, dry-fit it all and check the stack is plumb above and below. Mark across each joint, take it apart and glue one joint at a time.

Can it go underground? No, this range is for above-ground soil and vent pipe, inside or outside. Below ground you need an underground drainage system.

How do I allow for expansion on a glued stack? FloPlast’s fixing guide calls for an expansion joint roughly every 4m. A ring seal socket in the run gives the pipe room to move.
