What is a 110mm 90 Degree Single Socket Bend used for?
A 110mm Drainage Bend with a single socket (also known as a “Street Elbow” or “Spigot/Socket Bend”) is a 90-degree fitting used to change direction in a pipeline. Its primary advantage is the spigot (plain) end, which can be inserted directly into another socket. This is particularly useful in domestic plumbing when connecting a toilet outlet to a soil stack or when navigating around floor joists where there isn’t enough room for a double-socketed coupler.
Why Choose a Single Socket PVC-U Fitting?
At ECO HEAT SHOP LTD, we recommend the single-socket 90-degree bend for its versatility in “stack” work. Made from heavy-duty PVC-U, this fitting provides the rigidity required for both internal soil vent pipes (SVP) and external underground drainage. The single socket contains a pre-fitted rubber seal, ensuring a push-fit connection that is both air and watertight, meeting all current UK building regulations.
Professional Tips for Using Spigot Bends
When using this 90-degree 110mm bend, always ensure the spigot end is fully pushed into the receiving socket. We recommend marking the “insertion depth” on the pipe to confirm the joint is seated correctly. Using a silicone lubricant on the spigot end will protect the rubber seal from tearing or displacing during assembly. This fitting is an excellent choice for vertical-to-horizontal transitions where space is at a premium.
