Product Overview
68mm Downpipe Offset Bend in Black with a 92.5 degree angle.
This uPVC fitting is designed to alter the direction of 68mm round downpipes where tighter positional changes are required, and is fully compatible with 68mm round downpipe fittings. Manufactured from impact-resistant PVC with UV stability for long service life.
The 92.5 degree angle provides a compact directional adjustment suited to confined areas, while the black finish blends with dark rooflines.
Features & Benefits
- Durable construction: Made from impact-resistant uPVC for long-lasting roofline performance.
- Secure compatibility: Fully compatible with 68mm round fittings for easy connection.
- Directional change: Provides a reliable 92.5 degree offset for tight or restricted changes in direction.
- Maintained flow: Smooth internal profile supports continuous water discharge through the bend.
- Aesthetic match: Black finish blends with dark rooflines.
- Angle: 92.5 degree angle suited to tighter offset requirements.
Applications
- Tight clearances: Enables direction changes where minimal projection is available.
- Wall step-backs: Suited to façades with small recesses or irregularities.
- Refurbishment: Replaces damaged offset bends in existing 68mm systems.
- Extensions: Provides directional adjustment on new downpipe installations.
Installation Guidance
- Joint seating: Ensure pipe ends are cut square and inserted fully into the bend.
- Bracket placement: Fit supporting brackets close to the offset to maintain stability.
- Alignment: Confirm correct orientation to achieve the intended directional change.
- Seal engagement: Use 68mm connectors where additional joints are required.
- Inspection: Check periodically for debris accumulation at directional changes.
Compliance & Performance
- Material: Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC).
- Temperature performance: Designed for service from -20°C to +60°C.
