Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast 110mm Industrial XtraFlo Downpipe Kit is designed for contractors and property owners looking to manage high-volume rainwater drainage for commercial or large-scale industrial buildings. By providing a complete swan neck configuration, this kit offers a seamless way to offset downpipes from fascia to wall, ensuring a professional, leak-proof finish. While it is built for exceptional capacity and UV resistance, users should note that it is specifically engineered for integration with the 170mm XtraFlo system, making it less suitable for standard residential gutter setups.

FAQs

Can I use this for a domestic home?

While it can be used, this system is designed for large-capacity industrial 170mm gutters. It may be oversized for standard domestic roofs.

Do I need glue for the joints?

No, this is a push-fit system. Glue should not be used as the ring seals provide the necessary watertight connection and allow for thermal expansion.

Is the PVC paintable?

While it is UV-stabilized and finished in black, painting PVC is generally not recommended as it may affect the expansion joints and the finish may crack over time.

How many clips are included?

The kit includes 6 pipe clips to support the 6 meters of pipe provided.

What is the primary benefit of the swan neck?

The swan neck offsets the downpipe so it can run flush against the wall even when the gutter fascia is positioned further out.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaking during initial testing

Check that the ring seal is seated correctly and apply additional SL40 silicone spray to ensure the pipe slides in smoothly without folding the seal.

Pipe feels loose in the joint

Ensure the pipe has been pushed fully past the seal until it reaches the stop-end inside the coupling or bend.

Difficulty fitting pipes into bends

Ensure the pipe end is chamfered slightly and use plenty of lubricant on both the pipe and the rubber seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete "out-of-the-box" kit minimizes purchasing errors
  • Push-fit design allows for rapid installation
  • Excellent durability due to UV-stabilized PVC construction
  • High-capacity flow ideal for large commercial roofs
  • Professional swan neck finish for clean wall mounting

Cons

  • Not compatible with smaller residential gutter systems
  • Requires specific lubrication for optimal seal seating
  • Heavy-duty dimensions may be overkill for smaller buildings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a long-lasting, watertight installation, follow these guidelines:

  1. Preparation: Ensure all pipe ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to the internal ring seals.
  2. Lubrication: Always apply a small amount of `SL40` silicone spray to the seals before inserting the pipe; this prevents the seals from being displaced during assembly.
  3. Clamping: Use the provided 6 pipe clips at regular intervals, typically every 1.5 to 2 meters, to ensure the pipe remains secure against thermal expansion.
  4. Compatibility: This kit is designed to work exclusively with the FloPlast 170mm XtraFlo gutter system. Do not attempt to force fit onto standard domestic systems.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically rinse the downpipe from the top to ensure the shoe is clear of debris or leaf buildup that could restrict high-volume flow.
