Paragon Underground Drainage Double Socket Rest Bend 87.5°

Positioned at the foot of a vertical stack or downpipe, this rest bend turns the incoming pipework through 87.5° into the horizontal below ground drain. An integral support foot is moulded beneath the heel of the bend. It provides a bearing point that carries the weight of the vertical pipework above, rather than leaving that load on the bend and its joints alone.

Compared with a standard 87.5° bend, the rest bend has a longer, more sweeping profile. This eases the transition from vertical to horizontal flow at the base of the stack, the point in a drainage system where blockages are most likely to form. Because the angle falls 2.5° short of a right angle, the horizontal leg leaves the bend with a slight fall towards the drain run. Both legs carry a push-fit ring seal socket. The vertical leg receives the stack or a length of plain ended pipe, and the horizontal leg connects directly to the outgoing run without a coupler.

• Integral support foot: A moulded foot beneath the bend provides a bearing point to carry the load of the vertical pipework above.
• Sweeping profile: A longer sweep than a standard bend gives a smoother change from vertical to horizontal flow at the base of a stack.
• 87.5° angle: Turns vertical pipework into the horizontal drain, leaving a slight fall on the outgoing leg.
• Double socket design: A socket on each leg accepts plain pipe ends or spigot fittings on both sides of the bend.
• Push-fit ring seal: Each socket carries a ring seal for push-fit jointing, with no solvent cement required.
• Recognised standard: Manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1401-1.
• New build and refurbishment: Suited to round the house drainage on new build projects and to the refurbishment or replacement of existing drains.
• Made in Great Britain: Manufactured in Great Britain by Polypipe, and finished in terracotta.
