FAQs
What is the angle of this gutter pipe bend?

Is this bend compatible with different brands of guttering?

How is this bend installed?

What material is the bend made from?
The product description indicates it is made from durable material suitable for guttering systems, typically UPVC or similar plastics for FloPlast products.
Can this bend be used for square downpipes?

Does the seal require additional sealant?

Troubleshooting
Leaking connection
Ensure the pipe ends are clean and fully inserted into the bend's seal. Check that the retaining clip is properly engaged. If the issue persists, re-lubricate the seal and re-seat the connection.
Difficult to connect
Confirm that both the downpipe and the bend are the correct 68mm diameter. Ensure the pre-lubricated seal is intact and not obstructed. A small amount of silicone lubricant can aid insertion if needed.
Poor water flow after installation
Check for blockages within the bend or connected downpipe sections. Ensure the bend is correctly aligned to facilitate smooth water passage and not creating an unintended restriction.

- Ensures a secure and watertight connection.
- Versatile compatibility with various guttering materials.
- Efficiently redirects water flow with its specific angle.
- Durable construction suitable for new builds and renovations.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, ensure the ends of the existing downpipe and the bend are clean. Apply a small amount of lubricant if needed to the pre-lubricated seal on the bend. Slide the bend onto the existing downpipe until the retaining clip engages firmly. Repeat for the other end if connecting two sections. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: This 68mm round downpipe bend is designed to be compatible with most standard 68mm round downpipes made from metal or plastic. Verify the diameter of your existing downpipe before purchasing.
Care: The FloPlast bend requires minimal maintenance. Regularly check for and remove any debris like leaves or twigs that may accumulate in the guttering system to ensure optimal water flow. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners.
