FloPlast Industrial Gutter Kit - 16m - 170mm - Black

The primary advantage is its high-capacity profile, designed to handle significantly larger volumes of rainwater compared to standard domestic guttering systems, making it suitable for industrial and large commercial applications.

This 170mm system connects directly to a standard 110mm round downpipe.

Basic tools like a saw for cutting gutter lengths (if needed), a measuring tape, a spirit level, a drill, and a screwdriver for fixing brackets are usually sufficient. A rubber mallet can also be useful for tapping joints together. Silicone spray is recommended for lubricant.

It is recommended to inspect and clear gutters of debris at least twice a year, typically in late spring and autumn, to ensure optimal flow and prevent blockages.

The kit comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, providing assurance of its quality and durability.

Yes, additional FloPlast 170mm XtraFlo gutter lengths and components can be purchased separately to extend the system beyond the initial 16 metres.

Yes, the guttering is manufactured from UV-stabilised uPVC, which is designed to resist fading and maintain its colour retention even with prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Ensure the rubber seals are properly seated and clean. Reapply silicone spray to seals and firmly push the sections together. Check for any damage to the seals.

Verify that the gutter brackets have been installed with an adequate fall (slope) towards the downpipe outlet. Adjust bracket positions if necessary.

Check the connection mechanism between the gutter outlet and the downpipe. Ensure any securing clips or seals are correctly fitted and tightened.

While UV-stabilised, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can eventually cause slight fading. Clean with mild soap and water. This is typically cosmetic and does not affect performance.
