The FloPlast Square Downpipe Socket with Fixing Lugs (RSS2B) is designed for homeowners and contractors installing or repairing 65mm square rainwater systems. This component provides a secure, reliable connection between two downpipe sections while allowing for future maintenance thanks to its push-fit design. A key caveat is that this socket is specifically engineered for 65mm square profile systems and is not compatible with round downpipes or alternative guttering profiles.

No, this socket is specifically designed for 65mm square profile downpipes only.
No, the push-fit design is intended to be used without adhesives, allowing for easier maintenance.
This component is designed for 65mm square systems, but it is always recommended to use components from the same manufacturer to ensure exact tolerances.
You will need a drill, wall plugs, screws, and a hacksaw for cutting the downpipe to the required length.
It is recommended to inspect your guttering and downpipe system at least twice a year, preferably in the autumn and spring.
Ensure the pipe end is cut square and deburred. Apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant if the connection remains tight.
Check that the pipe is fully inserted into the socket. Ensure the pipe is not misaligned or under excessive tension.
Verify that the screws through the fixing lugs are tightened and that the wall plugs are correctly sized for the masonry.
To install, ensure the 65mm square pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Slide the pipe ends into the socket until they meet the internal center stop. Use the integrated fixing lugs to screw the assembly directly into the masonry using wall plugs and screws appropriate for your building material. Avoid overtightening the screws against the lugs to prevent plastic fatigue. For maintenance, periodically inspect the connections for any debris buildup. Because the system is push-fit, you can periodically remove the downpipe sections for cleaning, ensuring that seals remain clear of obstructions that could impede water flow.
