Description
A basic but essential drainage direction fitting
The SWR Plain Bend – Pasted Type is one of the most commonly used PVC/uPVC SWR fittings in plumbing systems. Its primary function is to change the direction of a pipeline, usually at 90 degrees or 87.5 degrees, allowing wastewater to flow from one direction to another efficiently.
Why plain bends are widely used
In any drainage system, direction changes are unavoidable. The PVC plain bend fitting is used when:
- Pipes need to turn corners
- Vertical flow needs to be redirected
- Space constraints require compact routing
It is one of the most fundamental components in residential and commercial plumbing systems in Bangalore.
Difference between plain bend and swept bend
Unlike a swept bend, which has a gradual curve for smoother flow, the plain bend has a sharper turn. This makes it suitable for:
- Short drainage runs
- Low to medium flow systems
- Cost-effective installations
It is widely used where installation simplicity is more important than flow optimization.
Common names used in the market
The SWR Plain Bend is also known as:
- PVC Plain Bend
- PVC SWR Bend 110mm
- 4 Inch PVC Bend
- PVC Elbow Bend
- Plain Elbow SWR Fitting
These terms are commonly used by plumbers and suppliers.

- Bathroom and toilet drainage lines
- Kitchen waste pipelines
- Apartment vertical and horizontal stacks
- Commercial building drainage systems
- Utility and basement drainage layouts
