Description
160mm EN1401 30deg Bend Double Socket
The 160mm EN1401 30deg Bend Double Socket is used to introduce a gradual change in direction within underground drainage systems. It is designed for gravity drainage carrying foul or surface water. The double socket configuration allows direct connection to compatible pipe ends on both sides. This fitting is intended for below ground use where smoother directional transitions are required.

Key design features
The bend provides a controlled thirty degree change in direction within a drainage run. The double socket design allows secure pipe connections at both ends without additional fittings. This geometry supports consistent alignment through changes in direction. The shallow angle helps maintain steady flow characteristics.
Benefits
- Supports gradual directional changes in pipe runs.
- Helps reduce flow resistance compared to sharper bends.
- Allows straightforward connection to standard pipe sections.
- Suitable for new installations and system alterations.
Applications
This fitting is used in underground foul water and surface water drainage systems where a gentle change in direction is required. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial drainage layouts. The 30 degree pipe configuration supports routing around obstacles while maintaining flow efficiency. The 160mm EN1401 30deg Bend Double Socket is suitable for use with EN1401 compliant pipework in gravity systems.
