Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast 80mm Downpipe Clip is an essential component for homeowners and contractors looking to securely anchor 80mm round downpipes to exterior walls. Designed specifically for the FloPlast Deepflow and Hi-Cap guttering ranges, it ensures long-term structural integrity for your rainwater system. While it provides excellent stability, it is important to note that correct vertical alignment and spacing are required to prevent sagging or joint stress over time.

FAQs

Are these clips compatible with other brands?

These clips are specifically designed for the FloPlast Deepflow and Hi-Cap range; compatibility with other brands cannot be guaranteed.

What size screws should I use?

It is recommended to use 5mm x 30mm screws with appropriate wall plugs for the best hold.

Can these be painted?

While the black finish is durable, you can use a plastic-specific paint if you need to match a different exterior color scheme.

How many clips do I need for a standard downpipe?

You should place one clip every 1.8 meters, plus one additional clip for each offset or connection point for added security.

Will these rust?

The clips are made from high-grade, weather-resistant plastic that will not rust, though the mounting screws should be stainless or galvanized to prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Downpipe feels loose after installation

Verify that the wall plugs are correctly sized for the wall type and that the screws have been tightened sufficiently to pull the clip flush against the wall.

Clip snapping during installation

Ensure the screw holes are not being overtightened and that the clip is aligned perfectly straight; misalignment creates unnecessary stress on the plastic frame.

Downpipe sagging between clips

Re-measure the distance between your clips. If the distance exceeds 1.8m, install an additional clip in the center to provide extra support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures system stability
  • Easy to install with standard tools
  • Weather-resistant material
  • Perfect fit for FloPlast range

Cons

  • Requires specific wall plugs for different wall types
  • Not suitable for square downpipes
  • Must be spaced strictly at 1.8m intervals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the clip, ensure the surface is flat and level. Use two 5mm x 30mm screws through the designated mounting points on the clip. Depending on your wall material (brick, stone, or concrete), ensure you use appropriate red or brown wall plugs to guarantee a firm anchor. Once fixed to the wall, simply press the 80mm round downpipe into the clip until it clicks or sits flush. Care should be taken not to overtighten screws, which could crack the plastic housing. Periodic maintenance involves checking that the screws remain tight and the clip has not shifted due to extreme temperature fluctuations.
