This complete downpipe kit provides all necessary fittings and pipe to run 110mm rainwater downpip...This complete downpipe kit provides all necessary fittings and pipe to run 110mm rainwater downpipe from your industrial gutter to ground level using a swan neck configuration. The swan neck offsets the downpipe from the fascia to the wall face for a professional installation. Designed to pair with the FloPlast XtraFlo 170mm industrial gutter system, the 110mm pipe delivers high-capacity rainwater discharge suitable for commercial, agricultural, and industrial roof areas. All push-fit joints feature ring seal connections for a secure, watertight fit. The system is UV-stabilised for lasting durability and colour retention. We recommend applying SL40 silicone spray to all seals during installation. Kit Includes: 2 x 110mm Downpipe (3m each), 6 x Pipe Clip, 1 x 112.5 Top Bend, 1 x 92.5 Bottom Bend, 1 x Pipe Shoe, 1 x Pipe Coupling.

FAQs
Is this kit compatible with standard 112mm half-round gutters?
This kit is specifically designed for the FloPlast XtraFlo 170mm industrial system and may not be compatible with standard 112mm domestic guttering components.
Do I need to use solvent weld for this system?
No, this is a push-fit system. Solvent weld is not required and should not be used as it prevents necessary movement for thermal expansion.
Why is silicone spray recommended?
Using `SL40` silicone spray prevents the rubber ring seals from snagging or rolling, ensuring a smooth, watertight connection.
Can the pipes be cut to size?
Yes, you can cut the pipe using a fine-toothed hacksaw; ensure you deburr the edge with a file afterward to prevent damage to the seals.
What is the primary benefit of the swan neck configuration?
The swan neck offsets the downpipe so it can sit flush against the wall even when the roofline/fascia extends outward.
How many clips are included in the kit?
The kit includes 6 pipe clips to ensure sufficient support for the two 3-meter pipe lengths provided.
Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking water
Check that the ring seal is properly seated in the groove and ensure the pipe end was lubricated with silicone spray during insertion.
Pipe feels loose in the clip
Ensure you are using the correct 110mm bracket size and that the screw fixings into the masonry wall are secure.
Difficulty inserting pipe into fittings
Ensure the pipe end is cut square and deburred; use additional silicone spray if the seal is resisting insertion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Complete all-in-one kit removes the need for sourcing individual parts
High-capacity 110mm diameter ideal for heavy rainfall areas
UV-stabilised material ensures long-term exterior durability

Requires proper bracket spacing to prevent pipe sagging over time
Installation requires purchase of silicone spray (SL40) for optimal seal performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Clean all pipe ends to ensure they are free of debris or burrs before insertion.
Lubrication: Apply `SL40` silicone spray to all ring seals before pushing the pipe home; this prevents seals from rolling and ensures a perfect, watertight fit.
Alignment: Use a plumb line to ensure the vertical run is perfectly straight before securing the pipe clips.
Expansion: When inserting pipe into a coupling, pull it back approximately 10mm to allow for thermal expansion during temperature fluctuations.
Maintenance: Periodically inspect the pipe shoe for blockages and check that clips remain tight against the wall to maintain structural support.
