FAQs

What size round downpipe does this bracket support?

This bracket is specifically designed to support 68mm diameter round downpipes.

What material is the bracket made from?

The bracket is manufactured from durable PVCu (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), known for its resistance to weathering and corrosion.

Does this bracket come with screws or wall fixings?

No, screws or wall fixings suitable for your specific wall type are not included with the bracket. These need to be purchased separately based on the mounting surface.

Can I use this bracket with square downpipes?

No, this bracket is designed exclusively for round downpipes of 68mm diameter. Polypipe offers different bracket solutions for square or rectangular downpipes.

How many brackets do I need per downpipe run?

The number of brackets required depends on the length of the downpipe and local environmental factors (like wind and snow load). A general guideline is to space brackets 1-1.5 meters apart, but always consult Polypipe's installation guides or local building regulations for precise requirements.

Is the black finish durable?

Yes, the black finish is integrated into the PVCu material, providing a durable and long-lasting color that is resistant to fading under normal conditions.

Can this bracket be used for commercial buildings?

This bracket is suitable for light commercial installations. For heavy-duty commercial applications, professional advice and potentially different products may be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Bracket feels loose after installation

Ensure that the correct type and size of wall fixings are used for the specific wall material. Tighten the fixings securely, but avoid over-tightening which could damage the bracket or wall. Check if the wall surface is sound and provides adequate purchase for the fixings.

Downpipe appears to sag between brackets

Verify that the brackets are installed at the recommended intervals (typically 1-1.5 meters). If the span is too great or the pipe is unusually long/heavy, additional brackets may be required. Ensure the downpipe is correctly seated in the bracket.

Black finish appears faded or discolored

While PVCu is UV resistant, prolonged extreme exposure can cause some fading. Clean the bracket with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals. If fading is significant, consider if the product is suitable for the specific environmental conditions or if a different material might be more appropriate long-term.
