Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast 110mm Industrial/XtraFlo Downpipe Kit is designed for commercial and industrial property owners seeking a high-capacity rainwater management solution. It excels by providing a complete, easy-to-install hopper head configuration that handles heavy runoff efficiently, though it requires specific compatibility with the FloPlast XtraFlo 170mm gutter system to function correctly. This durable PVC system simplifies maintenance through an integrated access point, ensuring debris buildup does not compromise structural drainage.

FAQs

Is this kit compatible with standard domestic 68mm guttering?

No, this system is designed for 110mm industrial downpipes and the 170mm XtraFlo gutter series.

Do I need glue for the joints?

No, the push-fit ring seal design eliminates the need for solvent welding or glue.

Can I paint the pipes?

While the PVC is UV-stabilized, if you choose to paint it, use a suitable primer and exterior-grade paint meant for plastics.

How often should I clean the hopper?

It is recommended to inspect the hopper and access pipe at least twice a year, or after heavy leaf fall.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will generally need a hacksaw for cutting pipe lengths, a drill for fixing clips, and a spirit level for alignment.

Troubleshooting

Joints are leaking or weeping

Check that the internal rubber ring seal is correctly seated and that the pipe end has been pushed fully home into the fitting.

Pipe movement or vibration

Ensure that the provided pipe clips are properly spaced and that the pipe is not obstructed by debris causing uneven weight distribution.

Access cap is stuck

Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the threads and allow it to sit before attempting to unscrew the cap by hand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated access point significantly reduces long-term maintenance labor.
  • UV-stabilized PVC material ensures longevity in harsh outdoor conditions.
  • Push-fit design allows for rapid assembly and simple adjustment during setup.
  • Hopper head effectively manages overflow from complex roof gutter layouts.

Cons

  • Specifically optimized for the XtraFlo 170mm system, limiting use with other brands.
  • Requires proper wall anchoring to handle the weight of high-capacity water flow.
  • White finish may require periodic cleaning to maintain appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, verify that your existing gutter system is the FloPlast XtraFlo 170mm model. Begin by mounting the pipe clips securely to the wall surface, ensuring they are perfectly plumb to allow for thermal expansion of the pipe.

When inserting pipes into the push-fit couplings, ensure the pipe ends are chamfered slightly and lubricated if necessary to allow the ring seals to seat properly without pinching. Periodically inspect the hopper for buildup of sludge or organic matter. The access pipe cap should be hand-tightened; avoid using mechanical tools, which may crack the plastic threading.
