The Lindab Steel Downpipe (75mm x 3m) is an ideal choice for homeowners and contractors seeking a sustainable, long-lasting alternative to plastic or cast iron drainage systems. Featuring a durable Dark Red finish, this Swedish steel pipe offers exceptional strength and weather resistance, providing a reliable solution for effective roof drainage. While its metal construction offers superior longevity, users should be aware that it requires careful handling during installation to prevent cosmetic scratching of the protective zinc coating.

Yes, Lindab steel systems can be painted, but ensure you use a primer suitable for galvanized or coated steel surfaces.
A 75mm diameter is standard for most residential properties. However, if you have a very large roof area, you should calculate your flow requirements to ensure it meets your specific drainage needs.
When installed correctly and kept clear of debris, these steel systems are designed to last for decades, significantly outperforming plastic alternatives.
No. The galvanized coating has a self-healing property that protects the exposed cut edge, preventing corrosion from starting at the cut point.
It is strongly recommended to use genuine Lindab steel components to ensure a secure, leak-free fit and to maintain the warranty and aesthetic uniformity.
The zinc-magnesium layer is self-healing and will naturally oxidize to protect the steel, so minor scratches will typically resolve themselves without further action.
Check that you are using the correct Lindab 75mm wall bracket. Ensure the pipe is properly aligned vertically to distribute weight evenly.
Verify that the downpipe is fully seated into the connector or elbow. Use approved Lindab joint sealant if the connection is not perfectly snug.
Installation requires standard guttering brackets and compatible Lindab downpipe connectors. Ensure the pipe is measured accurately before cutting, using a fine-tooth hacksaw to maintain a clean edge. When mounting, avoid overtightening brackets to allow for natural structural settling. For maintenance, simply wash the pipes with mild soapy water to remove debris or salt buildup. The self-healing nature of the 275g/m² zinc coating means that small surface abrasions from installation will naturally seal over time, maintaining the integrity of the Dark Red finish.
