DWV 5° Bend MF – Sizes: 100mm to 150mm
The DWV 5° MF (Male/Female) Bend is designed to provide a gentle change in pipe direction within Drainage, Waste, and Vent (DWV) systems. With a 5-degree angle, this fitting helps correct minor alignment issues or subtle directional changes in pipework without compromising flow efficiency.
This MF bend features one male (pipe-sized) end that fits into a DWV fitting, and one female (fitting-sized) end designed to receive pipe. It is constructed from durable PVC-U and is suitable for both residential and commercial non-pressure drainage applications.
Key Features:
- Available Sizes: 100mm to 150mm
- Connection Type: Male/Female – one end fits into a pipe, the other into a fitting
- Angle: 5° for gentle redirection
- Material: PVC-U (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride)
- Colour: Pale grey for easy system identification
Applications:
- Sewerage lines
- Ventilation systems
- Grey and black water drainage
- Stormwater redirection
- Sink, basin, and bathroom drainage connections
- DWV fittings can also be adapted for stormwater use, thanks to compatible designs and available adaptors.
Installation & Compatibility:
- Designed for use with solvent cement joints (SCJ)
- Requires a 24-hour setting time for full mechanical strength
- Manufactured angles (including 90°) are typically 85–88° to promote effective drainage flow
- Compatible with both above-ground and underground installations
- Can be exposed to UV light short-term, but prolonged sun exposure is not recommended
Benefits of PVC-U Construction:
- Corrosion-resistant
- Resistant to chemical and biological degradation
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- High hydraulic capacity and rigidity
- Long-lasting performance in various environments
