Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the existing gutter outlet is compatible with the 68mm round downpipe.
- Connect the downpipe to the gutter outlet using an appropriate Polypipe adaptor or swan neck.
- Secure the downpipe to the wall using Polypipe pipe clips, spaced appropriately to prevent sagging.
- If extending the downpipe, use a Polypipe socket connector to join sections.
- Ensure the downpipe terminates at a suitable drainage point, such as a drain or soakaway.
Compatibility:
This 68mm round downpipe is designed to integrate with the Polypipe Rainwater Systems range. For specific compatibility with other brands or older systems, consult the Polypipe technical documentation or a qualified installer.
Care:
- Clean periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the PVCu finish.
- Inspect for any blockages within the pipe or at the outlet during autumn or after heavy storms.
