Description
What is a 112.5 Degree Offset Bend used for?
A 112.5 degree offset bend is primarily used to create a “swan neck” in a rainwater system. This is the section of piping that connects the gutter outlet (located under the eaves) to the vertical downpipe fixed against the wall. By using two of these bends in tandem, installers can offset the pipe run to hug the building’s exterior closely, providing a more aesthetic and structurally sound installation.
Why Choose a 112.5° Angle over 92.5°?
While a 92.5° bend provides a sharper turn, the 112.5° offset bend offers a shallower, more aerodynamic path for rainwater. At ECO HEAT SHOP LTD, we recommend this angle for high-capacity systems because it minimizes the “splash-back” effect and allows gravity to move water more efficiently during heavy storms. This reduces the risk of the gutter overflowing at the outlet point during peak rainfall.
Engineered for Resilience and Aesthetics
Exterior plumbing is subjected to constant thermal expansion and intense UV exposure. Our offset bends are made from unplasticized PVC (uPVC), which is inherently resistant to chemical corrosion and physical impact. The material is UV-stabilized, ensuring that the high-gloss finish remains consistent with your existing guttering and won’t become “chalky” or brittle after years of sun exposure.
