Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Square to Round Downpipe Adaptor is an essential component for DIYers and contractors looking to transition from a 65mm square profile system to a 68mm round pipe. This adaptor ensures a reliable, leak-free connection, making it ideal for specialized drainage configurations. While it offers excellent durability, installers should be aware that it is specifically designed for stopend outlets and is not necessary for standard running outlets, which already support both pipe shapes.

FAQs

Do I need this for my running outlet?

No. Running outlets from FloPlast feature a universal octagonal pipe connection that natively accommodates both 65mm square and 68mm round pipes.

Is this adaptor compatible with other brands?

This product is specifically designed for FloPlast systems; while it may fit others, compatibility is only guaranteed within the FloPlast ecosystem.

What material is this made from?

It is manufactured from high-quality, durable plastic designed for long-term outdoor use.

Does this adaptor require glue or sealant?

No, it is designed for a simple push-fit connection which creates a reliable, watertight seal without the need for chemical adhesives.

Can I use this for non-rainwater applications?

No, this component is specifically engineered for use with residential rainwater guttering systems.

Troubleshooting

Joint feels loose after connection

Ensure that the downpipe has been pushed fully past the internal rubber seal or stop point within the adaptor.

Difficulty inserting pipe into the adaptor

Check that the pipe ends are free from rough edges or burrs. A small amount of silicone lubricant can assist in sliding the pipe into position.

Water leaking at the connection

Verify that the pipes are not under physical stress or misalignment, which can pull the fitting out of its optimal position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple push-fit installation process
  • High durability and weather resistance
  • Provides a seamless transition between different pipe profiles
  • Ensures a watertight seal for rainwater integrity

Cons

  • Limited to specific 65mm x 68mm dimensions
  • Not required for standard running outlets
  • Requires proper alignment to ensure a flush fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your 65mm square downpipe is trimmed accurately. Slide the adaptor onto the end of the pipe, ensuring it is seated fully against the internal stop. Connect the 68mm round pipe into the other side of the adaptor. No special tools or adhesives are typically required for this push-fit connection. Regarding care, the system is low-maintenance; periodically check for debris buildup near the joint during gutter cleaning cycles to ensure free flow. The plastic is UV-stabilized, but keeping it free from heavy impacts will extend its service life.
