The Lindab Magestic Large Water Hopper is a professional-grade rainwater management component designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a robust solution to consolidate gutter runs into a single 100mm downpipe. Its primary benefit is superior hydraulic management during heavy rainfall, preventing overflow while utilizing advanced magnesium-zinc alloy coating for exceptional durability in corrosive environments. While it offers industry-leading resilience, users should be aware that the natural, unpainted finish will weather over time to a dark grey metallic hue, which may require aesthetic consideration depending on your building's exterior design.

The Magestic coating is designed specifically for coastal environments, offering twenty times the corrosion resistance of standard galvanised steel.
While it comes in a metallic finish, it can be painted if desired, but ensure you use a primer and paint suitable for galvanised steel.
The unit is designed specifically for standard 100mm diameter downpipes.
Standard guttering tools are sufficient, though professional installation is recommended to ensure correct alignment and sealing.
The product is backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
No, the finish will weather over time to a natural, dark grey metallic appearance.
Ensure the hopper is mounted at the correct angle and that the downpipe exit is clear of obstructions.
Do not worry; the magnesium zinc alloy features self-healing properties that will naturally protect the scratched area over time.
Verify that you are using the correct 100mm coupling and apply a thin bead of exterior-grade waterproof sealant if necessary.
Installation: This unit is specifically designed for 100mm diameter downpipe systems. Ensure that the mounting bracketry is installed securely to handle the weight of the hopper when full. Use compatible Lindab fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
Compatibility: It is fully compatible with standard 100mm Lindab guttering systems and downpipe components. If connecting to non-Lindab systems, ensure the transition pieces are properly sealed with an appropriate exterior-grade sealant.
Care: The product is largely maintenance-free due to its self-healing alloy. However, periodically clear the interior of the hopper from leaves or debris to maintain optimal flow. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could strip the protective coating.
