Product Information

Full details

The Lindab 100mm Downpipe Connector is an essential component for contractors and homeowners building or maintaining robust steel rainwater systems. It is designed to provide a secure, seamless joint between two downpipe sections while maintaining a sleek, professional look. While it offers superior durability and weather resistance thanks to its galvanized steel construction, users must carefully manage the 6mm expansion gap during installation to ensure the system functions correctly throughout seasonal temperature changes.

FAQs

Is this connector compatible with plastic downpipes?

No, this connector is specifically engineered for Lindab steel downpipe systems.

Why is the 6mm gap required?

The gap provides space for the steel to expand and contract due to temperature changes; without it, the pipe could buckle or the joints could stress.

Can I paint over the Anthracite Grey finish?

While the finish is highly durable, if you choose to repaint, ensure you use a primer and paint suitable for galvanized steel surfaces.

Does this connector come with wall brackets?

No, this is a connector piece only. Wall brackets for the downpipe must be purchased separately.

How do I remove the male spigot for reusing offcuts?

Use a suitable metal saw or cutting tool to carefully remove the male end, ensuring the cut edge is smooth and safe to handle.

Troubleshooting

Pipe feels loose inside the connector

Verify that you are using the correct 100mm diameter pipe and ensure the pipe is inserted fully until it hits the internal stop.

The joint appears misaligned

Ensure the pipe ends are cut perfectly square before insertion and check that the downpipe clips are properly aligned on the wall.

Visible rust appearing near the joint

This is likely due to damage during installation; clean the affected area and apply a touch-up paint compatible with polyester-coated galvanized steel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality galvanized steel construction
  • Stylish Anthracite Grey finish matches modern exterior design trends
  • Supports efficient material usage by allowing the reuse of offcuts
  • Low maintenance requirements once installed
  • Designed for high durability and rust resistance

Cons

  • Requires precise 6mm spacing for thermal expansion
  • Not compatible with non-standard pipe diameters
  • May require cutting tools if reusing pipe offcuts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the 100mm connector requires basic metalworking tools. To ensure long-term integrity, follow these guidelines:

  1. Preparation: Ensure both pipe ends are clean and free of burrs that could prevent a flush fit.
  2. Spacing: When joining two full lengths of pipe, you must leave a 6mm gap between the pipe ends inside the connector. This is critical to allow for thermal expansion during the heat of summer and contraction in winter.
  3. Mounting: Ensure the downpipe is mounted flush to the wall using compatible Lindab brackets for stability.
  4. Care: This system is low-maintenance. Periodically inspect the joints to ensure no debris has caused blockages and verify that the finish remains intact. If scratches occur during installation, touch them up with matching paint to prevent potential corrosion.
