Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Xtraflo Downpipe involves aligning the pipe with the gutter running outlet and securing it using standard industrial pipe clips to the building facade. Ensure all cuts are clean and burr-free to maintain the integrity of the joints. To join sections, slide the pipe into an XSP105 coupler until it reaches the central stopper.
Regarding care, the system is relatively maintenance-free due to the PVC material. However, it is recommended to inspect the joints annually to ensure they remain secure. During autumn, ensure the roof guttering remains free of debris to prevent clogs that would restrict water from reaching the downpipe. Do not use solvent-based cleaners that may degrade the PVC finish; a simple wash with water and mild detergent is sufficient to keep the black finish looking professional.
