What is a 90 Degree Bend used for in plumbing?
A 90 degree bend, often referred to as a “90° elbow,” is a vital fitting used to navigate corners and obstacles in a drainage or overflow system. It allows the pipework to change direction sharply while maintaining a consistent flow rate, making it essential for connecting boiler condensate lines and water tank overflows to external discharge points.
Why Choose a Solvent Weld 90° Elbow?
In the world of professional plumbing, solvent weld fittings are the gold standard for durability. Unlike push-fit alternatives that rely on rubber O-rings (which can perish over time), this 90 degree bend uses a chemical welding process. When used with solvent cement, the fitting and the pipe become a single, unified piece of PVC, offering superior resistance to vibration, temperature changes, and accidental impact.
Engineered for Reliability
Available at ECO HEAT SHOP, our 90-degree bends are built to meet UK building standards. The white, high-gloss finish is UV-stabilized, meaning it won’t turn yellow or become brittle when exposed to direct sunlight on the exterior of a property. Its smooth internal radius is specifically designed to minimize friction and prevent the buildup of sediment or “bio-film” in condensate lines.
