The Lindab Rainline 85-degree downpipe bend is an essential component for homeowners and contractors seeking a robust, long-lasting drainage solution for both period and contemporary properties. It excels by providing a seamless, rust-resistant connection that enables complex downpipe configurations, though it requires precise measurement for successful offsets.

No, this component is designed specifically for the Lindab Rainline steel system and may not provide a secure, watertight fit with plastic alternatives.
No, the Lindab Rainline system uses a push-fit method. Sealants are generally unnecessary and can interfere with the thermal expansion of the steel.
No, this specific part is sized for a 75mm system. Using it with the incorrect diameter will prevent a proper fit.
Use two 85-degree bends joined by a small length of 75mm downpipe cut to the desired length to create an S-curve.
The silver metallic coating is pre-finished for durability and does not require painting.
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the swaged end and consider adding a support bracket near the joint for increased stability.
Check that the downpipe is cut squarely and fully inserted into the bend to prevent splashing or internal turbulence.
Installation requires standard measuring tools and a hacksaw for cutting intermediate pipe sections. Always ensure the downpipe is clear of debris before fitting the bend. The component is designed for 75mm Lindab Rainline systems; verify your existing system diameter before purchase. To maintain the system, periodically wash the exterior with clean water and a soft brush to remove accumulated grime. Inspect the joints annually to ensure that the friction fit has not been compromised by high-wind conditions or vibration. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could scratch the metallic coating.
