Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Cast Iron Effect 65mm Square Downpipe Branch is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a traditional aesthetic for rainwater systems without the maintenance burdens of genuine metal. This high-quality uPVC component excels at integrating secondary roof drainage—such as from a porch or extension—into a primary downpipe system, though it is specifically engineered for 65mm square profile piping and is not compatible with round downpipe systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this branch compatible with round downpipes?

No, this specific model is designed exclusively for 65mm square downpipe systems.

Do I need to use glue or cement for the joints?

No, the push-fit system is designed to be watertight without the need for solvent welding or adhesive.

Can this be used on commercial buildings?

Yes, its durable uPVC construction is suitable for both residential and commercial rainwater applications.

Does it rust like real cast iron?

No, it is made from high-quality uPVC that mimics the look of cast iron but will not rust, flake, or corrode.

What is the primary function of the 67.5-degree angle?

This angle ensures a smooth, downward flow of water from a branch pipe into the main downpipe, reducing the risk of clogs.

Can I remove the branch after installation?

Yes, because it uses a push-fit system, it can be disassembled for maintenance or system changes.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the joint

Check that the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting. Ensure the internal rubber seal is not pinched or displaced.

Pipe is difficult to insert into the branch

Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pipe end and ensure the pipe cut is free of plastic burrs from the saw.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains traditional building aesthetics without the weight of metal
  • Easy push-fit installation reduces labor time
  • Highly resistant to environmental corrosion and UV damage
  • Removable design allows for easier long-term maintenance

Cons

  • Compatible only with 65mm square downpipe systems
  • Does not offer the exact structural rigidity of real cast iron
  • Cannot be painted or altered to match non-standard color palettes easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a hacksaw for custom-length pipe adjustments and a file to remove burrs from cut ends, as rough edges can damage the internal seals. Ensure that the pipe is fully inserted into the branch up to the designated stop-mark to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. To care for the component, simply rinse with mild soapy water during your routine gutter cleaning schedule. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning pads, which can dull the surface finish and degrade the aesthetic coating of the cast-iron effect material.
