The Lindab Magestic Downpipe Connector is an essential component for homeowners and contractors installing durable rainwater systems, specifically those using the Magestic magnesium-zinc alloy steel range. It provides a robust, weather-resistant join for 100mm downpipes, ensuring long-term structural integrity in demanding environments like coastal areas. While it offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized steel, users must be mindful that it requires precise installation spacing to allow for thermal expansion during temperature fluctuations.

This connector is designed specifically for 100mm diameter steel downpipes.
No, it is designed with an unpainted finish that will naturally weather into a dark grey color.
The gap is necessary to allow the metal to expand and contract due to temperature changes without causing the joints to buckle or fail.
Yes, the Magestic magnesium-zinc alloy coating is specifically engineered for superior corrosion resistance in coastal areas.
No, this product is designed exclusively for Lindab steel rainwater systems.
The weathering process depends on local humidity and exposure levels, but typically develops its characteristic dark grey patina over a few months of outdoor exposure.
Check for any burrs on the cut edge of the downpipe; file the edges smooth to allow for a clean fit.
Verify that the pipe diameter is exactly 100mm and that the connector has not been deformed during shipping.
Ensure the pipe ends are inserted deeply enough and that there is no debris preventing a proper seat.
Installation requires basic hand tools and adherence to the manufacturer's spacing guidelines. When sliding the connector onto your 100mm downpipes, it is critical to leave a 6mm gap between the pipe ends inside the connector. This gap is not a mistake; it is a vital engineering requirement to account for the thermal expansion of steel. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could strip the protective magnesium-zinc layer. If the pipe exterior becomes dirty, a simple rinse with fresh water or a wipe with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient. Regularly check the joints annually to ensure that the expansion gap remains clear of debris or blockages that might restrict movement.
