Plumbing fittings

All

further to a previous post, we now have a new water pipe in to replace an old lead pipe and I now need to run a 22mm pipe up to the bathroom which I'll be doing in polypipe. As part of the work I need a 45 degree bend, but can't seem to find one. Does anyone know of one?

Also, does anyone know what the difference between polyplumb (grey) and pushfit (white) is, apart from the manufacturer? The grey seems to be cheaper for a 3m pipe length.

Any help appreciated.

Polyplumb is stronger than speedfit. Speedfit is easier to use.

I don't know about Speedfit or PolyPlumb, but you can certainly do it with Hep2o fittings:-

If all else fails, there's nothing to stop you using a compression fitting instead.
