McAlpine MT4 40mm 90° Elbow Bend – Universal Multifit 1 1/2″ Waste Joiner

McAlpine MT4 40mm 90° Elbow Bend – Universal Multifit 1 1/2″ Waste Joiner

• Simple ‘nut & cone’ washer connection
• No tools needed
• Will join 40mm to 43mm and anything in between
• Perfect for bath, kitchen sink, shower tray, wet room, washing machine & dishwasher waste pipes
• For various waste pipes such as plastic pushfit, plastic solvent weld, iron or copper etc… with the same outside diameters
• For thicker waste pipes such as iron the plastic insert may have to be carefully cut out in order to install

Instructions:

• Simply slide the white nut over the pipe first along with the nylon washer, before the pointed black rubber washer
• Make sure that the black rubber washer is pointing the thin end towards the white fitting you have yet to put on and slide the rubber on an inch or so
• Push the rest of the fitting on so that the rubber joins up with the plastic fitting, you may then try and push the fitting with the rubber further down the pipe if need be
• Finally bring the nut back and screw onto the rest of the fitting, compressing the pointed washer against the plastic to make a seal, then repeat the action for the other side and that’s it!

Details

The McAlpine MT4 is a high-capacity 90-degree elbow bend designed for 40mm (1 1/2″) waste systems. Specifically, this fitting features Universal Multifit technology, making it compatible with 40mm, 42mm, and 43mm plastic, copper, and lead pipes. The dual compression nuts allow for a secure, watertight connection without the need for solvent glue. Manufactured from premium polypropylene, it is designed to withstand the high temperatures and chemical flow typical of bath and kitchen sink waste. Consequently, it is the most reliable choice for navigating tight corners in standard domestic plumbing.

Standard “push-fit” or “solvent-weld” elbows often reveal a frustrating lack of flexibility during installation. If your pipe is slightly off-size or made of an older material like copper, a standard plastic fitting simply won’t seal. Specifically, trying to force a mismatched joint often leads to “weeping” leaks that can go unnoticed behind bath panels for months. Moreover, once a solvent joint is glued, you cannot adjust it, meaning one small mistake ruins the entire pipe run. However, the McAlpine MT4 Elbow eliminates this struggle. The Multifit internal wedge seals expand and contract to grip almost any 1 1/2″ pipe perfectly. Because it is a mechanical compression fitting, you can adjust the angle and tighten it by hand for a professional, leak-proof finish. Therefore, you get a “first-time fix” regardless of the pipe material you are connecting to.
