What material is the hopper made of?

Does the hopper come with mounting hardware?
The hopper is typically installed using standard downpipe brackets available within the Polypipe rainwater system range.
How often should I clean the hopper?
It is recommended to clear out any debris twice a year, or more frequently if your property is located near overhanging trees.
Troubleshooting
Water overflowing from the hopper
Check the downpipe below the hopper for blockages and ensure it is clear of leaves or debris.
Water leaking at the connection point
Ensure the hopper is fully seated on the downpipe and that the seals are properly positioned; add silicone sealant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the RR130W hopper is straightforward. Ensure the 68mm round downpipe is cut cleanly and aligned vertically before attaching the hopper. Use standard rainwater system brackets to secure the downpipe to the wall, ensuring the hopper is firmly seated and level. For compatibility, ensure your existing system uses the Polypipe 68mm round profile, as it will not fit square-section pipes without specific adapters. To care for the unit, periodically flush the hopper with a hose to remove leaves or sediment that may have accumulated, and check the joint seals annually to ensure no water leakage is occurring at the connection points.
