Solvent Weld Waste 32Mm Knuckle - Grey

Solvent Weld Waste 32Mm Knuckle - Grey

The 32mm Solvent Weld Knuckle Bend in Grey (also known as a 90-degree tight elbow) is a essential fitting for waste water management in bathrooms and utility rooms. This compact fitting is designed to create a sharp 90-degree turn in a 32mm waste pipe run, making it the ideal choice for installations where space is at a premium, such as behind pedestal basins or within vanity units.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: Manufactured to meet BS EN 1451-1, ensuring the fitting meets strict UK standards for waste discharge systems and dimensional accuracy.

Material: Constructed from high-quality ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). This rigid material provides excellent impact resistance and is specifically designed to form a permanent molecular bond when used with solvent cement.

Configuration: 90-Degree Knuckle Bend:

Socket x Socket: Features two 32mm female sockets designed to receive standard 32mm solvent weld waste pipe.

Compact Profile: Unlike a "swept" bend, the knuckle bend has a tighter radius, allowing for much closer fitting to walls and within cabinets.

Dimensions: Precision-engineered for 32mm (1 1/4") waste systems, the standard size for bathroom basin and bidet drainage.

Installation Method: Solvent Welding – Apply solvent cement to both the pipe end and the internal socket of the knuckle, then push together for a permanent, leak-proof weld that is as strong as the pipe itself.

The Installer's Advantage
The 32mm Knuckle is the "problem-solver" for tight plumbing layouts. Its sharp radius allows for a much neater finish in visible areas and maximizes available storage space inside cupboards. Because it creates a permanent solvent bond, it is particularly suited for "fit and forget" installations behind walls or under floors where a mechanical push-fit joint might be less desirable.
