U-PVC Bends Joint Socketed Pipe

What Is a U-PVC Bends Joint Socketed Pipe and What Does It Do?

A U-PVC bends joint socketed pipe is a wide-curved, push-fit pipe piece used to change the direction of a pressure clean water line. It is also called a gooseneck. Düzgünler Plastik makes it in 17 sizes from Ø32 to Ø400, in PN 4, 6, 10 and 16 pressure classes, in grey.

When a line has to go around an obstacle or the route turns, a bend is fitted at the turning point instead of straight uPVC pressure pipe.

Why Use a U-PVC Bends Joint Socketed Pipe?

Short answer: to turn the water with a gentle curve. When water turns a sharp corner, the flow is disturbed and pressure loss rises. A wide curve reduces that loss.

• It changes direction: It turns the line to a new route without forcing the pipe.

• It protects flow: The curved form causes less pressure loss than a sharp turn.

• It fits fast: The socketed joint needs no adhesive.

Gooseneck Bend or Sharp Elbow?

• Pro of the bend: The gentle turn disturbs the flow less.

• Con of the bend: Its wide curve takes more space.

• Pro of the elbow: It takes little space in tight spots.

• Con of the elbow: The sudden turn raises pressure loss.

Choose the bend where there is room; choose an elbow where space is tight.

Which Sizes and Pressure Classes Are Made?

Pick the bend in the same size and pressure class as the PVC-U pipe it joins. Wall thicknesses come from the official product table.

Is Every Pressure Class Made in Every Size?

No. Ø32 is made only in PN 10 and PN 16. PN 4 is available from Ø50 to Ø280; at Ø315 and above, the lowest class is PN 6.

How Is It Fitted?

• 1. Clean: No dust or sand on the pipe end or inside the socket.

• 2. Align: Position the bend to match the turning direction.

• 3. Push: Slide the pipe end squarely into the socket.
