UPVC Gutter Elbow Bend
The Standard UPVC Gutter Elbow provides a reliable 90-degree change in direction for residential and commercial roof drainage systems. This fitting uses high-impact unplasticized polyvinyl chloride to ensure long-term performance under direct sunlight. It integrates seamlessly with standard gutter profiles to manage high-volume rainwater runoff on complex rooflines.
Built for the Job
This component handles the most critical transition points in a guttering layout. Corners are prone to leaks and blockages if the fitting quality is substandard. The smooth internal bore of this elbow minimizes hydraulic friction to prevent silt and leaf debris from settling in the bend. Contractors use this fitting for both internal and external cornering requirements on gable and hip roof designs.

On-Site & Workshop Notes
-
Place a gutter support bracket within 150mm of the elbow to prevent sagging at the corner joint.
-
Apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant to the seals if the fitting features rubber gaskets for easier insertion.
-
Ensure the guttering is cut square and deburred before inserting into the elbow socket to maintain a waterproof seal.
-
Allow for thermal expansion by not bottoming out the gutter length completely into the socket depth.
