Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Deepflow/Hi-Cap Downpipe Hopper is an essential component for homeowners and contractors managing complex roof drainage, designed to consolidate multiple rainwater flows into a single 80mm downpipe. It is ideal for users with Deepflow or Hi-Cap gutter systems who need to streamline complex roof configurations, though it requires precise pipe alignment and adequate clearance for installation.

FAQs

Can this be used with non-FloPlast guttering?

While designed for FloPlast Deepflow and Hi-Cap systems, it may be compatible with other systems if the dimensions align, though this is not guaranteed.

Does this hopper handle waste water?

Yes, it is suitable for use in older properties where combined drainage systems for rainwater and waste pipes exist.

Is the hopper color-fast?

Yes, the material is designed to be weather-resistant and maintain its color under standard environmental conditions.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Basic plumbing tools, a drill for wall fixings, and a hacksaw for cutting downpipes to the correct length are typically sufficient.

What is the primary material used?

The hopper is constructed from high-quality, durable, and UV-stabilized uPVC.

Troubleshooting

Water splashing over the side of the hopper

Check the angle of the incoming pipes to ensure water enters directly into the center of the box and check for blockages in the lower downpipe.

Loose connection to the 80mm downpipe

Verify that the downpipe is fully seated into the outlet; use a pipe clip just below the hopper to provide additional support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies complex drainage by consolidating multiple pipes
  • High-capacity design handles heavy rainfall effectively
  • Durable, weather-resistant construction for long service life
  • Compatible with both modern and older property drainage setups

Cons

  • Requires accurate positioning to ensure proper flow
  • Specifically designed for 80mm downpipes, limiting cross-size compatibility
  • Requires adequate wall space for mounting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the hopper is securely fixed to the wall using appropriate brackets to bear the weight of the water and pipework. Align the upper discharge pipes directly over the open box to prevent splashing. Ensure the 80mm downpipe is firmly attached to the lower outlet to maintain a watertight connection. For maintenance, periodically clear the hopper of leaves and debris, especially during autumn months, to ensure free flow and prevent standing water.
