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.
