MortarThePoint Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I know I can happily make any offsets I need above 60mm by using two 32mm solvent weld 135° (45°) Bends. But as you can see below, you can't go below 59mm. Are the only two ways to make a smaller offset that 60mm one of these two approaches: heat bend a straight length of abs pipe filled with sand using a heat gun use a length of flexible pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 3D print in ABS. You could likely get away without any support if you kept all the angles above 45deg. Solvent weld should work on it. A little Y piece I did for my gate conduits. https://flic.kr/p/2mmDsvX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing special and had to get an angle that shows it clearer. The 32mm pipe on the right is above screed and the 40mm pipe on the left is below screed. To have a consistent drop (18mm / metre) that follows the left hand pipe requires a 24mm vertical offset. There are other places I am likely to need a small offset, so it's not just about this. I hoped someone might say Brand X sell a small S-bend offset part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I would just heat and bend the connecting bit of pipe for that. Alternative off the ball idea. 50mm SW coupler. 50mm to 32mm reducer Note the reducer is offset. SW one in one way up, the other in the other way up. That gives you a straight coupling with about 30mm offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how it ended up I snaked it round some Hep2O so four bends in the end. I heated the pipe more locally than I would have liked so I can see it's thinned a fair bit at a couple of the bends. To squeeze the pipe section in it's ended up leaving the pipe quite taut. Hopefully that won't cause one of the joints to fail.

MortarThePoint Posted October 15 Author Share Posted October 15 Not sure why I didn't spot this at the time, but you can use two 45 degree conversion bends to make a 42mm offset. You'd then need to use a straight coupler to connect to the pipe, but that's easy and doesn't affect the offset. You could use a 45 degree conversion coupler and a standard 45 bend to get an intermediate offset as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
