Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Industrial Gutter Hopper is an essential component for property owners and contractors looking to consolidate multiple rainwater flows into a single 110mm downpipe system. Engineered for robust drainage in large-scale residential or industrial environments, it effectively manages runoff from convergent roof sections. While it provides excellent capacity and drainage versatility, users should note that its use for combining waste pipes into rainwater systems is generally outdated and restricted by modern plumbing regulations.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this product suitable for domestic use?

Yes, it can be used for residential rainwater management, particularly on large properties or outbuildings with complex roof designs.

Can I use this to combine sink waste and rainwater?

No. Modern building regulations generally prohibit the connection of foul waste systems to rainwater drainage systems.

What size pipe does this hopper fit?

It is specifically designed for 110mm round downpipes.

How often should I clean the hopper?

It is recommended to inspect and clean the hopper at least twice a year, or more frequently if there are overhanging trees nearby.

Is the material resistant to UV rays?

Yes, it is manufactured from high-quality, durable materials designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and weather.

Troubleshooting

Water splashing out of the hopper

Ensure the discharge pipes are positioned low enough inside the hopper and that the downpipe is not blocked.

Joint leakage at the connection points

Check that the pipes are fully seated and use appropriate PVC-compatible sealant if there is a gap.

Slow drainage

Inspect the 110mm downpipe for clogs or blockages further down the line and clean the hopper of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-capacity drainage for complex roof layouts
  • Simplifies downpipe installation by consolidating multiple inputs
  • Durable design suitable for industrial-grade applications
  • Easy to inspect due to the open-top collection design

Cons

  • Not suitable for combining waste and rainwater in modern systems
  • Requires proper height alignment to prevent splashing
  • Open design may collect debris like leaves or twigs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard PVC mounting procedures. Ensure the hopper is securely bracketed to the wall to support the weight of the water column. The hopper is designed specifically for 110mm round downpipes; ensure that all connecting sections are securely fitted to prevent leakage at the joints. For care and maintenance, conduct bi-annual inspections to remove any debris or biological growth that may have accumulated in the hopper basin. A simple rinse with a hose can clear smaller particulates, while manual removal is recommended for larger organic waste to maintain optimal flow rates.
