Description
A 135-degree overflow bend (commonly called a 45-degree elbow) is a plumbing component used to create a slight change in direction for 21.5mm piping. These are frequently used in pairs to create “offsets,” allowing pipework to bypass architectural features or move from an internal wall to an external drain without restricting water flow.
Why Choose an Obtuse Bend over a 90° Elbow?
In high-efficiency systems, such as boiler condensate discharge, maintaining a consistent flow is vital. A 45-degree bend offers significantly less hydraulic resistance than a sharp 90-degree turn. This helps prevent “glugging” and reduces the likelihood of debris or biofilm buildup, which is especially important in cold weather where slow-moving condensate is prone to freezing.
