Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast 68mm Round Downpipe Clip is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for a reliable, long-lasting solution to secure rainwater drainage systems. Its primary benefit lies in its robust, weather-resistant construction and integrated fixing lugs that ensure a stable, secure attachment to exterior walls. While it is engineered for a seamless fit, users should note it is specifically designed for 68mm round downpipe profiles and may not be compatible with square or non-standard sized systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on square downpipes?

No, this product is specifically designed for 68mm round downpipe profiles.

Does this clip come with screws?

No, fixings are typically sold separately to ensure you choose the correct type for your specific wall material (brick, wood, or stone).

How many clips do I need per pipe?

It is recommended to place a clip every 1.5 meters to ensure adequate support and stability.

Will the black finish fade over time?

The material is UV-stabilized to maintain its color and durability against sun exposure for many years.

Can I paint these clips?

While the black finish is designed to be permanent, you can use specialized plastic-adherent paints if a color change is necessary, though this may void typical material warranties.

Troubleshooting

Clip feels loose against the wall

Ensure you are using the correct size wall plug for your substrate and that the screw is fully tightened into the lug.

Downpipe slips through the clip

Verify that your downpipe is exactly 68mm in diameter; if the pipe is smaller, the clip will not provide adequate clamping force.

Visible gaps between the clip and the wall

Check that the mounting surface is flat; if the wall is uneven, you may need to use spacers or adjust the mounting position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple and intuitive installation process
  • High resistance to weathering and UV degradation
  • Sturdy construction ensures long-term downpipe stability
  • Discreet design aesthetic

Cons

  • Only compatible with 68mm round profile downpipes
  • Requires specific screw fixings for wall mounting not always included
  • Rigid material provides no flexibility for non-standard pipe diameters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, hold the clip in the desired position against your wall and mark the fixing points through the integrated lugs. Use appropriate wall plugs for masonry or direct wood screws for timber surfaces. Ensure that the pipe is aligned vertically before tightening the clips.

Compatibility is limited to 68mm round FloPlast downpipe components; do not attempt to force this clip onto 65mm or 75mm systems as it may cause cracking or failure. Care is minimal: periodically check the screws for tightness after major weather events and clean the exterior of the clip with soapy water to maintain the finish and remove debris buildup.
