Description
What is a 90 Degree Knuckle Bend?
A 90 degree knuckle bend is a specialized plumbing fitting used to change the direction of a 21.5mm overflow or condensate pipe. Unlike a standard “swept” elbow, the knuckle bend features a tighter internal radius, allowing the pipework to sit closer to walls or within tight cabinetry, providing a professional and unobtrusive finish.
Why Use Solvent Weld Knuckle Bends?
In high-performance heating and waste systems, structural integrity is paramount. Using a solvent weld knuckle bend creates a permanent bond between the fitting and the pipe. When used with standard solvent cement, the PVC surfaces fuse together, eliminating the risk of leaks often associated with push-fit or compression fittings in high-vibration or exterior environments.
