The FloPlast Cast Iron Effect 65mm Square Pipe Clip is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a traditional heritage aesthetic for their guttering systems without the intensive maintenance of genuine metal. By combining a classic square profile with the lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant properties of modern uPVC, it provides a functional and attractive solution for downpipe installation; however, users should note it is intended specifically for 65mm square downpipe systems and requires strict adherence to spacing guidelines to prevent sagging.

No, this clip is specifically designed for 65mm square profile downpipes.
While the product comes with a factory-applied cast iron effect finish, it is made of uPVC. If you choose to paint it, ensure you use a plastic-compatible primer and paint.
You must space the clips no more than 1.8 meters apart to ensure structural integrity.
No, as it is manufactured from high-quality uPVC, it is immune to the rust and corrosion that affect traditional cast iron.
Fixing screws are typically not included, as the required hardware depends on the type of surface (e.g., brick, timber, or concrete) you are attaching the clip to.
Check that the screw fixing the clip to the wall is fully tightened and that the wall plug has not come loose in the masonry.
Ensure that the downpipe is not forced into the clip; check that the pipes are properly aligned and that the clip is not over-tightened against the wall.
Verify that you have not exceeded the maximum 1.8m spacing interval. Install additional clips if the pipe span exceeds recommended limits.
To install, mark your downpipe route ensuring that clips are spaced at a maximum of 1.8m. Use a spirit level to ensure the pipe run remains perfectly vertical before tightening the fixings. Always use the appropriate screw and wall plug combination for the specific substrate you are mounting to, such as masonry screws for brick or wood screws for timber. For care, this component requires no special treatment; simply rinse it with warm, soapy water during your seasonal gutter cleaning to remove dirt and grime build-up. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads, as these may dull the cast iron effect finish over time.
