FloPlast Ogee Gutter Stopend Outlet Left Hand - 110mm x 80mm Black
Stopend Outlets form the connection between the gutter and the downpipe when the downpipe is posit...Stopend Outlets form the connection between the gutter and the downpipe when the downpipe is positioned at the very end of the gutter run. Because ogee gutter is handed these fittings are available in left hand or right hand options. The connection to the 65mm square downpipe is a simple push fit joint. You can also connect to 68mm round downpipe using the RDS2 adaptor. Note that this fitting should only be used if the roof tiles or slates do not extend past the fascia board - if this is the case (such as at a gable end) you should use a running outlet with a small piece of gutter and an external stopend attached. This ensures that the rainwater from the end overhanging tiles is still channelled into the gutter. You can view our PBSL Group short product video for stopend outlets below. Standards: Bs en 12200 / bs en 607.

This FloPlast Ogee Gutter Stopend Outlet is designed for left-hand installations, providing a clean termination for your gutter run where a downpipe is needed at the end. Its key benefit is a simple push-fit connection for 65mm square downpipes, ensuring a secure and watertight seal. A caveat to consider is that it's best suited for situations where roof tiles do not extend past the fascia board; for overhanging tiles, an alternative solution is recommended to prevent water runoff issues. This outlet is essential for completing an ogee gutter system effectively.

FAQs
What does 'left hand' mean for this stopend outlet?
It refers to the orientation of the outlet when viewed from the front of the building. A left-hand outlet is used on the left side of a gutter run to terminate it where the downpipe is positioned.
Can I connect this to any downpipe?
This outlet is designed for a direct push-fit connection to 65mm square downpipes. For 68mm round downpipes, you will need to use the separate FloPlast RDS2 adapter.
When should I *not* use this stopend outlet?
You should avoid using this fitting if roof tiles extend past the fascia board, such as at a gable end. In such cases, rainwater from overhanging tiles may not reach the gutter. A running outlet with an external stopend is recommended instead.
What are the main standards this product meets?
This FloPlast Ogee Gutter Stopend Outlet meets Bs en 12200 and Bs en 607 standards.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
The stopend outlet is designed for a secure push-fit. Ensure it is fully and evenly pushed onto the end of the ogee gutter. Any debris on the connection surfaces can prevent a proper seal.
What is the function of an ogee gutter system?
Ogee gutters are designed with a decorative S-shaped profile, offering both functionality for rainwater management and an aesthetic appeal, often mimicking traditional cast iron gutters.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage at the connection point
Ensure the stopend outlet is fully pushed onto the gutter. Check for any debris obstructing the seal. If using an adapter, verify it is correctly fitted.
Outlet does not fit securely
Confirm you have the correct left-hand outlet for your gutter run. Ensure the gutter end is not damaged or deformed. Check for any obstructions within the gutter or on the outlet's connection rim.
Poor water flow into the downpipe
Inspect the outlet and downpipe for blockages (leaves, dirt). Clean thoroughly. Ensure the downpipe is correctly aligned with the outlet.
