DWV 45° Bend MF – Sizes: 40mm to 300mm
The DWV 45° MF (Male/Female) Bend is designed to create a smooth directional change in drainage systems. This bend has one male (pipe-sized) end and one female (fitting-sized) end, providing a secure and efficient connection for pipework redirection at a 45-degree angle.
Part of the DWV (Drainage, Waste, and Vent) system, this fitting is ideal for managing soiled water in both domestic and commercial non-pressure applications.
Key Features:
- Available Sizes: 40mm to 300mm
- Connection Type: Male/Female – one end fits into a pipe, the other into a fitting
- Angle: 45° for moderate directional changes
- Material: PVC-U (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride)
- Colour: Pale grey for standard DWV identification
Applications:
- Sewerage pipelines
- Ventilation shafts
- Stormwater systems
- Grey and black water drainage
- Sink and basin plumbing
- These fittings are also compatible with stormwater applications and can be adapted using appropriate fittings from the stormwater range.
Installation Details:
- Joined using solvent cement joints (SCJ)
- Allow 24 hours curing time for full mechanical strength
- Manufactured at precise angles (e.g. 85–88° for “90°” fittings) to optimise drainage flow
- Suitable for above-ground and underground use
- Can be temporarily exposed to UV light; long-term exposure is not recommended
Advantages of PVC-U:
- Resistant to corrosion and chemical attack
- Immune to biological fouling
- Lightweight and easy to install
- Strong and durable
- High internal flow capacity
Standards & Performance:
- Temperature Range: 0°C to 50°C
- Standard Compliance: AS/NZS 1260 for DWV pipes and fittings
- Certification: WaterMark approved for plumbing applications
