Product Information

Full details

The Lindab Magestic Downpipe Connector is the ideal solution for homeowners and installers looking to securely join 120mm steel downpipes in a robust rainwater management system. Engineered with a specialized magnesium zinc alloy, it offers exceptional durability and superior corrosion resistance, making it particularly effective for coastal environments where traditional materials might fail. While its long-term aesthetic shift to a dark grey finish is a design benefit for many, users should be aware that proper installation requires a specific 6mm gap to account for thermal expansion.

FAQs

Does the connector need to be painted?

No, the Magestic finish is designed to weather naturally to a dark grey tone and does not require painting or additional surface treatment.

Can I use this with plastic downpipes?

No, this connector is specifically engineered for use with Lindab steel downpipes and is not compatible with plastic systems.

How do I account for thermal expansion?

Always leave a 6mm gap between the two steel pipe ends within the connector to allow for the metal's natural expansion and contraction.

Is this product suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, the magnesium zinc alloy coating provides high-level corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for coastal environments.

What is the warranty period?

The Lindab Magestic range comes with a 10-year warranty covering material defects and corrosion resistance under normal use.

Troubleshooting

Joint feels loose or unstable

Ensure that the pipe is fully inserted into the connector and check that the pipe diameter matches the 120mm specification.

Evidence of water leaking at the joint

Verify that the pipes are not pushed too tightly together; ensure the 6mm expansion gap is maintained to prevent stress on the coupling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to coastal corrosion and harsh weather
  • Environmentally conscious coating with reduced zinc run-off
  • Seamless, secure fit for 120mm rainwater systems
  • Attractive, modern aesthetic that weathers naturally

Cons

  • Requires precise installation spacing for thermal expansion
  • Metallic finish changes appearance over time, which may not match fixed-color systems
  • Limited to 120mm diameter pipes only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your rainwater system, follow these installation and care guidelines:

  1. Preparation: Ensure both 120mm pipe ends are clean and free of burrs that could compromise the seal.
  2. Expansion Gap: It is critical to leave a 6mm gap between the two pipe ends inside the connector. This allows the steel to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes without buckling the joints.
  3. Alignment: Use a level to ensure the vertical alignment of the downpipe run before securing the connector.
  4. Compatibility: This connector is compatible only with 120mm diameter Lindab Magestic steel downpipes.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically clear gutters and downpipes of debris to ensure consistent flow. The Magestic surface is self-healing to an extent, but avoid using abrasive cleaning tools that could scratch the coating.
