ELBOW BLACK MAX 225MM 45D PVC GWR0222545
The fitting is part of the BlackMax® drainage pipe system, designed for non-pressure drainage applications such as stormwater, sewer, and other civil and construction drainage systems. It provides a smooth directional change of 45° in pipelines while maintaining hydraulic performance.
Application
• Connects two DN225 drainage pipes at a 45° angle in underground drainage systems.
• Suitable for stormwater and sewer drainage systems.
• Commonly used in civil, commercial, and residential drainage installations.
• Works with rubber ring socket joint pipes to form sealed connections.
• Requires compatible rubber ring seals for proper assembly.

• Rubber Ring Material: Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
• Internal Bore: Smooth for enhanced hydraulic performance
• Durability: Abrasion and corrosion resistant, suitable for buried applications
Installation & Performance Notes
• Used in underground drainage with soil cover depths based on loading:
• No vehicular loading: Minimum cover 300mm
• Under driveways: 450mm
• Sealed roadways: 600mm
• Unsealed roadways: 750mm
• Embankment / construction areas: 750mm
• Jointing is by rubber ring socket connection which provides a sealed joint.
• Use appropriate lubricant for easy assembly.
Material & Durability
• PVC Body: Strong and corrosion-resistant for long-term underground use.
• Rubber Ring Seal: SBR provides a flexible watertight joint.
• Smooth Internal Wall: Reduces friction and improves drainage flow.
• Abrasion Resistance: Suitable for sediment-laden flows typical in drainage applications.
Typical Applications
• Stormwater drainage pipelines
• Sewer systems (gravity flow)
• Subsurface drainage around buildings and landscapes
• Access pits and junctions requiring a 45° deviation
• Civil and municipal drainage infrastructure
• Residential lot drainage tie-ins
Standards & Compliance
• Manufactured for non-pressure drainage applications to PVC drainage standards.
• Designed to be buried underground with recommended cover depths depending on site conditions and traffic loading.
Handling & Storage
• Store fittings dry and protected from prolonged sunlight (UV).
• Handle gently to avoid damage to socket edges or rubber rings.
• Ensure correct sizing and alignment before jointing and backfilling.
Common Questions
What is this fitting used for?
This is a 45° elbow fitting for the BlackMax® drainage pipe system. It connects two 225mm diameter drainage pipes at a 45° angle in underground drainage systems like stormwater, sewer, subsurface drainage around buildings, and civil drainage infrastructure.
What size pipes does it fit?
This fitting connects two DN225 (225mm diameter) drainage pipes. Make sure you're using compatible 225mm BlackMax® pipes with rubber ring socket joints.
How deep should I bury it?
The depth depends on what's on top. With no vehicular loading, minimum cover is 300mm. Under driveways it's 450mm, sealed roadways 600mm, unsealed roadways 750mm, and embankment or construction areas 750mm. Your site conditions will determine the right depth.
How do I connect it to the pipes?
The fitting uses a rubber ring socket joint connection. The rubber ring (made of SBR material) provides a flexible, watertight seal between the fitting and the pipe. Use an appropriate lubricant to make assembly easier, and ensure correct alignment before backfilling.
How should I store this fitting?
Store it dry and protected from prolonged sunlight. Handle it gently to avoid damage to the socket edges or rubber rings. Keep it in a clean, shaded spot until you're ready to install it.
