Angled Fittings

Angled fittings are corner pieces of your pipe network. They tend to be 90° angle bends, but can be less or more, with 45° and 180° (like u-bends) also available. These bends make the creation of more compact drainage systems that little bit easier and will help plumbers to create more efficient networks that ultimately cost less to construct. To ensure full compatibility, it is best to purchase all of your fittings from the same brand for a consistent system performance.

In the past, pipes were made from iron, but nowadays, a number of plastics are used including polypropylene, which is an incredibly lightweight material despite its considerable resilience when exposed to a number of conditions. This makes this plastic ideal for use in the making of angled fittings. The majority of angled fittings are incredibly simple in their design, making the application process that little bit easier.

Installing Angled Fittings

Installing angled fittings can be challenging, especially if you are unfamiliar with plumbing. However, you don’t necessarily have to be an experienced handyman in order to carry out the job properly. If you are unsure, then it is always wise to call in a professional to help out. This will ensure that your pipe system is installed correctly, which in turn will help you to avoid any unfortunate accidents including leakages and damaged pipework.
