Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have all necessary Polypipe Polyflow system components, including brackets, connectors, outlets, and downpipes.
- Secure gutter brackets at appropriate intervals (refer to Polypipe recommendations) to the fascia board, ensuring a slight fall towards the outlet.
- Attach the 4-meter gutter section to the brackets, ensuring a snug fit.
- Connect other gutter sections using the appropriate Polyflow connectors if required for longer runs.
- Install the outlet and downpipe connector, ensuring a watertight seal.
Compatibility:
This 117mm Polyflow gutter is designed to work seamlessly with other components within the Polypipe Rainwater Systems range. For optimal performance and to maintain warranties, use only compatible Polypipe fittings and accessories. This includes brackets, clips, corner pieces, outlets, and downpipes specifically designed for the 117mm Polyflow profile.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the gutter for debris such as leaves, twigs, and sediment. Clean out any obstructions to ensure free water flow.
- Wash the exterior with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the PVCu surface.
- Check connections and seals annually for any signs of wear or leakage, and address them promptly.
