The Lindab 100mm Self-Cleaning Leaf Trap is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a low-maintenance solution for managing roof runoff in steel guttering systems. By utilizing a sloped grid design, it automatically ejects leaves and debris while channeling water into your drainage system, preventing costly blockages. While it offers robust performance and simple installation, it is strictly designed for 100mm diameter downpipes and requires regular visual inspection to ensure the ejection path remains clear.

No, this specific model (SLS100DG) is designed exclusively for 100mm downpipe systems.
No, the system is designed for a push-fit connection and does not require sealants or glues.
The material is engineered for high durability and resistance to discoloration from UV exposure.
Maintenance is minimal, but we recommend a quick visual check every six months.
It is optimized for the Lindab Rainline system; compatibility with other brands depends on the exact downpipe diameter and profile.
The unit is constructed from high-density polythene.
Check the grid for a large obstruction, such as a branch or clump of wet leaves, and manually remove it.
Ensure the pipe ends are cut squarely and pushed firmly into the socket of the leaf trap.
Verify that the downpipe is mounted at the correct angle and is not tilted away from the ejection port.
Installation of the SLS100DG model requires removing a section of the 100mm downpipe to accommodate the unit. Ensure the trap is level and securely seated according to standard rainwater pipe installation practices. No sealants are required, but ensure the connection points are snug to prevent leaks. For care, perform a visual inspection twice a year—ideally before and after the autumn season—to clear any large, stuck twigs that may have bypassed the initial clearing mechanism. The high-density polythene material does not require painting and resists color fading, so keep it clean with simple water rinsing if it becomes dirty.
