Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
- Ensure the existing 68mm downpipe end is cut cleanly and free of sharp burrs.
- Apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant if the joint feels tight, though the seals are pre-lubricated.
- Push the bend firmly onto the pipe until you feel it seat against the internal stop.
- Secure the downpipe using standard 68mm clips above and below the offset to prevent the weight of the water from bowing the joint.
Compatibility
This product is explicitly designed for the FloPlast 68mm round rainwater system. While other manufacturers use similar dimensions, variations in pipe wall thickness can affect the seal integrity.
Care
This system is maintenance-free. During autumn, ensure the gutters above the bends are cleared of leaves and moss to prevent blockages that could cause the pipe to overflow at the joints.
