The FloPlast 68mm Round Downpipe Socket with Fixing Lugs is an essential component for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable connection for their rainwater drainage systems. It provides a secure, weather-resistant join for standard 68mm round downpipes, ensuring effective water runoff and structural stability through its integrated mounting lugs. While it is specifically engineered for the FloPlast ecosystem, users should ensure they are pairing it with compatible 68mm components to maintain a watertight seal.

This product is designed for the FloPlast 68mm round range. While some generic pipes may fit, we recommend using FloPlast components exclusively to ensure a guaranteed watertight seal.
No, this socket is designed exclusively for 68mm round downpipes.
No, fixings are not included as the required screws vary depending on the substrate (e.g., brick, wood, or stone) of your building.
While the material is durable as-is, if you wish to change the color, use a high-quality plastic-specific primer and paint. However, the factory finish is designed to be maintenance-free.
The FloPlast 68mm system is a push-fit design, meaning it does not require solvent welding or glue for installation.
Ensure the pipe is inserted fully into the socket to reach the internal seal and check that the pipe ends are not jagged or damaged.
Verify that you are using 68mm diameter pipe; the socket will not provide a secure fit for thinner or thicker pipe profiles.
Ensure the wall surface is level; if the surface is uneven, you may need to use spacers or wall plugs to achieve a secure, plumb connection.
To install, ensure the downpipe ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to internal seals. Align the socket with your layout and use appropriate masonry fixings through the pre-drilled lugs to secure it to the wall. For maintenance, periodically inspect the joint to ensure no debris has caused a blockage. If cleaning is required, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemical solvents, as these can degrade the protective finish of the plastic. This component is strictly compatible with the FloPlast 68mm round system; attempting to force-fit non-standard pipe sizes may result in leaks or damaged fittings.
