Because ogee gutter is handed these fittings are available in left hand or right hand options. The connection to the 65mm square downpipe is a simple push fit joint. You can also connect to 68mm round downpipe using the RDS2 adaptor. Note that this fitting should only be used if the roof tiles or slates do not extend past the fascia board - if this is the case (such as at a gable end) you should use a running outlet with a small piece of gutter and an external stopend attached. This ensures that the rainwater from the end overhanging tiles is still channelled into the gutter. Complies with Bs en 12200 / bs en 607. Manufacturer: FloPlast.

It details the FloPlast Ogee Gutter Stopend Outlet (Left Hand, 110mm x 80mm, White) which provides a neat finish and secure connection at the end of a gutter run.

FAQs
What is an Ogee gutter stopend outlet?
An Ogee gutter stopend outlet is a fitting used to terminate the end of an Ogee gutter run. It seals the gutter's edge, preventing water from spilling over the side and ensuring it flows towards the downpipe.
How do I know if I need a left-hand or right-hand stopend outlet?
Ogee gutters are handed. Stand facing the gutter run from the front. If the stopend outlet is on your left, you need a left-hand outlet. If it's on your right, you need a right-hand outlet.
Can I connect this to any downpipe?
This outlet has a direct push-fit connection for 65mm square downpipes. It can be connected to 68mm round downpipes using the separate FloPlast RDS2 adaptor.
What is the main limitation of this fitting?
This fitting should not be used at gable ends if the roof tiles extend past the fascia board. In such cases, a running outlet with an external stopend is required to catch water from overhanging tiles.
What are the dimensions of this stopend outlet?
The dimensions are 110mm for the gutter connection and 80mm for the downpipe connection (specifically for 65mm square or 68mm round with adaptor).
Does this product comply with safety standards?
Yes, it complies with BS EN 12200 / BS EN 607 standards.
What maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning to remove debris is recommended. Check joints periodically for any signs of wear or leaks.
Troubleshooting
Outlet does not fit snugly onto the downpipe.
Ensure you are using the correct downpipe size (65mm square or 68mm round with adaptor). Check for any obstructions or damage on the downpipe spigot or the outlet's receiving joint. Ensure you are pushing straight and firmly.
Water leakage at the joint between gutter and outlet.
Verify that the gutter end is clean and properly seated within the stopend outlet. If a permanent seal is required and the push-fit is not sufficient, a small amount of gutter sealant or solvent cement (specific to PVC) can be applied to the joint before assembly.
Gutter overflows at the stopend.
Confirm that the stopend outlet is correctly installed and fully seated. Check if the gutter is correctly sloped towards the downpipe. Ensure there are no blockages in the gutter or downpipe system.
Outlet does not fit the gutter profile.
Double-check that you have the correct Ogee gutter profile and that this is the corresponding 110mm Ogee stopend outlet. Ensure no part of the gutter edge is deformed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the end of the Ogee gutter run is clean and free from debris.

For a 65mm square downpipe, simply align the outlet's aperture with the downpipe opening and push firmly until a secure joint is formed.
For a 68mm round downpipe, attach the RDS2 adaptor (sold separately) to the stopend outlet first, then connect the round downpipe to the adaptor.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for FloPlast 110mm Ogee gutters.
Compatible with 65mm square downpipes (direct push-fit).
Compatible with 68mm round downpipes when used with the RDS2 adaptor.
*Not suitable* for gable ends where roof tiles overhang the fascia.
Care:
Periodically clean the outlet and surrounding guttering to remove leaves, moss, and other debris that could cause blockages.
Use a soft brush and water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface.
Inspect joints annually for any signs of wear or leakage.
