Achieve a smooth, high-velocity drainage flow with our Obtuse Bend. This 45-degree fitting is the professional solution for creating gradual offsets in your waste pipework, allowing you to bypass obstacles like joists or wall corners while significantly reducing the risk of debris buildup and blockages.
Enhanced Flow Dynamics: The 45° obtuse angle ensures wastewater moves quickly and efficiently, preventing the “standing water” issues common with sharper turns.
Versatile Application: Ideal for both kitchen and bathroom installations where a standard 90-degree bend is too restrictive.
Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-impact polypropylene or ABS to withstand high-temperature discharge (up to 90°C).

In the plumbing industry, an obtuse bend is a fitting with an angle greater than 90 degrees (specifically 135 degrees internally, creating a 45-degree change in direction). It is primarily used to create “offsets”—allowing a waste pipe to shift its path slightly to navigate around structural pillars, floor joists, or other utility lines. Because the turn is gradual, it maintains a much higher flow velocity than a standard elbow.
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we recommend using 45-degree obtuse bends whenever possible. Sharp 90-degree turns are the most common sites for domestic blockages. By using two obtuse bends together, you can create a “swept” offset that allows hair, grease, and food waste to pass through the system without snagging, ensuring your drainage remains maintenance-free for longer.
Our obtuse bends are manufactured to meet rigorous UK building standards. Whether you choose the push-fit version for rapid, tool-free installation or the solvent weld version for a permanent chemical bond, you are getting a fitting built from heat-stable plastic. This ensures the bend will not warp or leak when subjected to boiling water from dishwashers or washing machines.
