Product Information

Full details

The Lindab Magestic Large Water Hopper is an essential component for homeowners and contractors seeking to manage high-volume rainwater drainage by channeling multiple gutter runs into a single 87mm downpipe. Designed for durability in challenging environments, this hopper excels in coastal regions due to its advanced magnesium-zinc alloy coating; however, users should note that the surface finish will transition to a natural dark grey metallic patina over time rather than maintaining a bright, polished look.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this hopper suitable for areas near the sea?

Yes, the magnesium-zinc alloy coating is specifically engineered to provide superior resistance against salt-air corrosion.

Will the color stay silver?

No, the surface is designed to weather over time into a natural dark grey metallic finish.

Can I use this with 100mm downpipes?

No, this hopper is specifically designed for 87mm rainwater systems only.

What is the warranty period?

The product is backed by a 10-year warranty provided by Lindab.

How does the self-healing feature work?

The magnesium-zinc alloy coating has the ability to migrate over minor surface scratches, sealing the exposed metal from moisture and oxygen.

Is it safe for the environment?

Yes, it is designed to be eco-friendly, reducing zinc runoff into the soil by over 75% compared to standard hot-dipped galvanized products.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the connection point

Check that the 87mm pipe is seated fully and check that any sealant used is compatible with galvanized steel.

Visible surface oxidation

This is normal for the Magestic range as it develops its natural protective patina; it does not indicate structural failure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to salt-air corrosion
  • Self-healing coating protects against surface scratches
  • Environmentally friendly design with reduced runoff
  • High structural integrity with 0.6mm steel thickness
  • 10-year manufacturer warranty

Cons

  • Surface finish changes color over time
  • Compatibility limited strictly to 87mm systems
  • Requires professional installation for optimal seals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by someone familiar with metal guttering systems to ensure all joints are secure and water-tight. This hopper is designed exclusively for use with 87mm rainwater systems; attempting to force fitment with other sizes will compromise the seal and void the warranty.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Regularly inspect the hopper for buildup of leaves or debris that may block the downpipe entrance.
  • Clean the unit using a soft brush or cloth and water; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the metallic alloy.
  • Inspect the self-healing coating periodically to ensure no deep gashes have exposed the raw steel base.
