uPVC 112mm Gutter Bend 45 Degree Offset

112mm Gutter Bend

The uPVC Gutter Bend 45 provides a precise hydraulic offset for residential and commercial rainwater management systems. This fitting facilitates directional changes in downpipe runs while maintaining high flow velocity during heavy discharge. It is manufactured from high-density unplasticized polyvinyl chloride to ensure long-term structural integrity against environmental stressors.

Built for the Job

Plumbers and roofing contractors utilize this component to navigate architectural obstacles such as eaves, wall offsets, or decorative plinths. Unlike sharp 90-degree turns that can trap debris and cause blockages, this 45-degree angle promotes self-cleaning by allowing water and small particulates to pass through the system with minimal resistance. The fitting is essential for site supervisors managing high-capacity drainage layouts where vertical alignment must be shifted without compromising the structural load on the gutter brackets.

• Offsetting downpipes to clear foundation protrusions or external masonry features.

• Transitioning from horizontal gutter outlets to vertical downpipe stacks in multi-story builds.

• Constructing swan-neck assemblies when paired with short lengths of pipe for varying eave depths.

Product Highlights

UV-Stabilized Construction

The material contains specific additives to resist brittleness and discoloration caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight in tropical climates.

Precision Engineering

• Uniform wall thickness ensures consistent pressure resistance across the bend.
• Smooth internal bore prevents the accumulation of silt and organic moss.

What’s Included

• 1 x 112mm 45-Degree Gutter Bend Fitting

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Verify the diameter of existing downpipes before installation as slight variations exist between square and round profiles.

• Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the seals to facilitate easier insertion and allow for thermal expansion movement.

• Ensure the fitting is supported by a pipe clip within 150mm of the joint to prevent sagging under heavy water loads.

• Store in a cool, shaded area if the project timeline requires long-term site storage before final assembly.
