The FloPlast Hi-Cap 80mm 112.5 Degree Bend is a high-capacity rainwater fitting designed to create smooth directional changes in your downpipe system. Manufactured by FloPlast, this durable PVC-u bend is ideal for forming offset connections, particularly when constructing a swan neck arrangement from the gutter outlet to the wall below the soffit.
With an 80mm size and 84mm diameter, this 112.5° bend provides a precise angle that ensures efficient water flow while maintaining a neat and professional finish. Lightweight at just 0.159kg, it’s easy to handle and install, making it suitable for both trade professionals and DIY installers. Built to meet BS EN 1462 specifications and backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee, you can rely on long-term performance and durability in all weather conditions.
Offset bends like this are commonly paired to form what’s known as a swan neck — created by joining two bends with a short section of pipe between them. This allows the downpipe to step out from the fascia and return neatly to the wall beneath the soffit. When installing a swan neck, sealant or solvent weld should not be used, as the fittings may need to be dismantled in the future for maintenance or cleaning.
Supplied as a single unit, this bend is compatible with FloPlast’s 80mm Hi-Cap rainwater systems and is manufactured from strong, weather-resistant PVC-u for long-lasting reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 112.5 degree bend used for?
A 112.5° bend is primarily used to create offsets in a rainwater downpipe system. It is especially useful for forming a swan neck, allowing the pipe to move from the gutter outlet at the fascia board back towards the wall beneath the soffit.
Can I use solvent weld or sealant when installing a swan neck?
No, sealant or solvent weld should not be used when creating a swan neck. The fittings may need to be taken apart for cleaning or maintenance, so they should remain demountable.
Is this bend compatible with other downpipe systems?
This bend is specifically designed for FloPlast’s 80mm Hi-Cap rainwater system. For best performance and a secure fit, it should be used with compatible 80mm Hi-Cap components.
