40mm waste flexible bends

[andsally]

Has anyone an opinion of solvent weld flexible bends for 40mm wastes?

I can't seem to find much mention of them.

Have been looking at Magicflex Solvent Weld Elbow 1 1/2" from by Wirquinn from Toolstation.

Thanks

I'm probably talking my usual rubbish here, but I would have thought that the traditional rigid solvent weld stuff (acrylic with filler based) would not have the flexibility that PVC products would have....therefore it would be important to use a proprietary PVC adhesive when using these?

The words "flexible waste pipe" will make any decent pro shudder, those ribs will trap dirt and cause it to block, do it properly in rigid pipe

Oops double post...

I have read that the Hepworth equivalants do have a smooth bore...

As will 90 degree elbows on waste pipes instead of 92 degree swept bends

Agreed

Multikwik do the Multiflex adjustable bends, infinitely variable between 0 and 90 degrees (90 and 180 if you like), but they are compression.
