The Lindab 87mm Steel Downpipe Connector is the ideal solution for professional roofers and homeowners looking to securely join steel downpipes in their rainwater management system. Designed for durability and ease of installation, this connector helps extend pipe runs and minimize waste by allowing the use of offcuts, though it requires precise spacing during installation to accommodate thermal expansion. This component is finished in a high-quality Anthracite Grey, offering a sleek, modern aesthetic that is built to last up to 70 years.

The 6mm gap allows for thermal expansion and contraction of the steel pipes, preventing structural stress and potential leaks at the joint.
No, this connector is specifically engineered for Lindab steel downpipes and will not provide a secure or compatible seal with plastic systems.
The HB polyester painted finish is highly resistant to UV rays and is designed to maintain its color integrity for many years.
Typically, the precision fit of the Lindab connector is sufficient for most installations. Consult specific project requirements if extreme weather conditions are expected.
When installed correctly as part of the Lindab system, the components have an expected life expectancy of up to 70 years.
Verify that you are using the correct 87mm diameter pipe and ensure the pipe end is not deformed or oval-shaped from improper storage.
Check that the pipes are fully seated and that the 6mm expansion gap has not been exceeded, which could pull the pipes away from the central sealing area.
Check for burrs on the edge of the cut pipe; file the edges smooth to prevent snagging on the connector interior.
For setup, ensure both downpipe ends are cut square and clean of burrs that might hinder the fit. Slide the connector onto one pipe, align the second pipe, and maintain the recommended 6mm gap between the pipe ends inside the fitting. Compatibility is strictly limited to the Lindab 87mm steel downpipe range; avoid mixing with plastic components which have different thermal expansion rates. For care, keep the system free of debris by cleaning the gutters periodically. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the pipe connector during seasonal maintenance to keep the Anthracite Grey finish looking like new.
