The FloPlast Hi-Cap 80mm 92.5 Degree Bend is designed to create a smooth and efficient change in direction within your rainwater downpipe system. Manufactured by FloPlast, this high-capacity bend allows you to alter the pipe run from vertical to horizontal — or vice versa — while maintaining excellent water flow performance.
With an 80mm system size and 84mm diameter, this bend is perfectly suited to the Hi-Cap rainwater range. Made from durable PVC-u, it is lightweight at just 0.1695kg, making installation straightforward for both professional installers and DIY users. Built to meet BS EN 1462 standards and backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee, it offers long-lasting reliability in all weather conditions.
Unlike a standard 90° bend, this fitting features a 92.5° angle. That slight increase encourages a gentle fall within the pipework, helping rainwater to flow freely rather than sitting in the system. It’s particularly useful where soffits are wider than usual, allowing the pipe to run neatly beneath the soffit instead of dropping diagonally back towards the wall as it would with a traditional swan neck configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the bend 92.5 degrees instead of 90 degrees?
The additional 2.5° creates a slight fall within the pipework. This encourages rainwater to continue flowing through the system rather than pooling inside the bend.
When should I use a 92.5 degree bend instead of offset bends?
A 92.5° bend is often preferred when the soffit is particularly wide. It allows the downpipe to run horizontally beneath the soffit before returning vertically, creating a tidier and more direct installation.
Is this compatible with other rainwater systems?
This bend is specifically designed for use with the 80mm Hi-Cap rainwater system. For best performance and a secure fit, it should be installed with compatible 80mm Hi-Cap components.
