FAQs
What is the diameter of this downpipe?
This pipe has a nominal diameter of 75mm.
How long will it take for the pipe to reach its final colour?
The Magestic steel coating typically takes 3-5 years to weather to its final dark grey metallic appearance.
Can I use this in a coastal area?
Yes, the Magestic magnesium-zinc alloy is specifically designed for superior performance in harsh, corrosive, and coastal environments.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 10-year warranty against structural failure under normal usage conditions.
Does it need to be painted?
No, the material is designed to be maintenance-free and weather naturally. Painting is not recommended as it may interfere with the self-healing properties of the coating.
Can this be cut to size?
Yes, if a shorter length is required, it can be cut using a fine-toothed hacksaw or a metal cutting disc. Ensure the cut edge is filed smooth to prevent injury.
Troubleshooting
Joint feels loose after connection
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the crimped end of the mating bend. Use a stainless steel pop rivet or self-tapping screw if mechanical fixation is required.
Surface marks or fingerprints appear during install
Minor marks are normal and will naturally blend in as the Magestic coating weathers into its final dark grey state.
Difficulty inserting into existing downpipe
Check the pipe for any deformation caused during transport; if circularity is maintained, apply a light silicone lubricant to the exterior of the pipe end.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Ensure the 75mm diameter matches your existing Lindab system components. Insert the intermediate pipe into the female ends of your chosen downpipe bends.
Compatibility: This product is designed specifically for integration with the Lindab Magestic 75mm rainwater system. Ensure all connecting bends are of the same diameter and compatible series.
Handling: Wear gloves during installation to prevent skin oils from affecting the initial weathering of the zinc-magnesium finish.
Maintenance: Periodically check for debris at the joints, especially if installed near heavy foliage. Rinse with water if salt or dirt buildup is detected, though the material is largely self-maintaining.
