The McAlpine ABS42/43A-CB is a 90-degree compression bend made of chrome-plated brass, designed to connect to ABS solvent weld pipes. Compression fittings are designed to make secure and leak-proof connections between pipes without the need for soldering or welding. ABS, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, is a type of thermoplastic polymer commonly used in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. ABS solvent weld pipes are joined using a solvent cement, which chemically bonds the pipes together. The McAlpine ABS42/43A-CB compression bend is designed to be used with ABS solvent weld pipes to create a bend in the pipe. The compression fitting is tightened onto the pipe using a compression nut, creating a tight seal between the fitting and the pipe. The chrome-plated brass construction of the compression bend provides durability and resistance to corrosion. The bend is designed to withstand high-pressure and high-temperature applications, making it suitable for use in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. ・ Available in 1¼" and 1½" sizes ・ 1¼" version supplied with 2 rubber washers allowing chrome compression nut to fit on to 32mm European or 35mm UK chrome brass pipe
