The FloPlast 68mm Round Downpipe in Anthracite Grey is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, modern rainwater management solution for single-storey structures. Its primary benefit is the push-fit connection system, which facilitates quick, tool-free installation and easy maintenance, though users should ensure precise measurements as the 2.5-meter length is fixed. This durable PVC pipe integrates seamlessly with existing half-round, deepflow, or ogee systems to provide a sleek, professional finish that resists weathering and color fading.

While the anthracite grey is designed to be permanent, it can be painted with specific PVC-compatible paints if necessary, though it is generally not recommended.
This is a PVC system; it is designed to work with FloPlast PVC components. It may not provide a watertight seal with metal systems.
You will need a tape measure, a pencil for marking, a fine-toothed hacksaw for cutting, and a drill with appropriate wall plugs for the mounting clips.
No, wall clips and brackets are typically sold separately to allow for custom configurations.
Because it is a push-fit system, you can simply pull the sections apart at the joints to clear debris without needing to dismantle the whole system.
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting. Check that the rubber seal inside the connector is seated correctly and free of grit.
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the end of the pipe or the seal to allow for smoother movement.
Check that all wall clips are securely fastened and that the pipe is properly snapped into the clip housing.
To install, ensure the supporting clips are level along the wall. Measure the required length and cut the pipe using a fine-toothed hacksaw, ensuring the cut end is filed smooth to prevent damage to the rubber seals within the joints. Lubricate the seals with a silicone-based spray if the fit is too tight.
Compatibility: This pipe is designed specifically for 68mm systems. Ensure your gutter outlets and brackets are also 68mm to guarantee a watertight seal.
Care: Inspect the downpipe annually, particularly in autumn, to ensure no leaves or moss have caused a blockage at the bottom shoe. Simply disconnect the push-fit joints, rinse the interior with a hose, and reconnect.
