FloPlast Ogee Gutter Internal Stopend Left Hand - 110mm x 80mm Black

Stopend Outlets can also be used as an alternative to this method. Because ogee is not a symmetrical system, stop ends are handed either right or left. The internal stop end is introduced into the fitting in exactly the same way as you would install a piece of gutter - the back edge of the stop end is installed first before gently pulling the front edge down and inside the clip of the fitting, compressing the stop end onto the rubber seal. Compatible with BS EN 12200 / BS EN 607 standards.

FAQs
What is an internal stopend?
An internal stopend is a component used to cap off the end of a gutter run. It is inserted *inside* a gutter fitting, such as a running outlet, to create a watertight seal.
How do I know if I need a left-hand or right-hand stopend?
The designation (left or right hand) refers to the orientation of the stopend relative to the flow of water in the gutter and the direction it faces when installed. For an Ogee system, the stopend is handed. You need to select the correct hand to match the specific end of your gutter run. Generally, if the water flows from right to left, you need a left-hand stopend.
Is this stopend compatible with other gutter brands?
This stopend is specifically designed for the FloPlast Ogee gutter system and is compatible with BS EN 12200 / BS EN 607 standards. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.
What are the dimensions of this stopend?
The dimensions are 110mm for the gutter width and 80mm for the fitting depth, suitable for the specified Ogee system.
How do I install the internal stopend?
Insert the back edge of the stopend into the fitting first, then gently pull the front edge down until it clips into place, compressing it onto the fitting's rubber seal.
What material is the stopend made from?
The stopend is made from durable uPVC, designed for longevity and resistance to weather conditions.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
Generally, no special tools are required beyond those typically used for gutter installation, such as a tape measure and potentially a rubber mallet for gentle adjustments if needed.
Troubleshooting
Stopend does not fit securely into the fitting.
Ensure you are using the correct left-hand stopend for the specific fitting and gutter profile. Check for any obstructions or debris within the fitting or on the stopend. Verify the gutter fitting is correctly seated.
Minor leaks observed at the stopend.
Confirm the stopend is fully seated and compressed onto the rubber seal. Inspect the rubber seal for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Ensure no debris is trapped between the stopend and the seal.
Stopend seems loose after installation.
Re-insert the stopend, ensuring the back edge is properly seated first, then gently pull the front edge down until it clips securely. Check that the fitting's clip is engaging correctly.
