Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Industrial Xtraflo Gutter is designed for professionals and property owners managing large-scale rainwater drainage for industrial or commercial buildings. Its primary benefit is a high-capacity flow rate provided by the oversized 170mm profile, which efficiently manages significant volumes of runoff. A key caveat for installers is that its larger dimensions and specific 110mm downpipe compatibility require precise planning for mounting and alignment compared to standard residential guttering.

FAQs

Can I use this gutter on a residential home?

Yes, it can be used, though its industrial size is usually unnecessary unless the home has a roof design that generates extremely high water volumes.

Is the 110mm downpipe connection compatible with standard 68mm or 80mm pipes?

No, this system requires a 110mm downpipe to function correctly and maintain system capacity.

How do I cut the 4m lengths to size?

The gutter can be cut using a standard fine-toothed hacksaw. Ensure cut edges are filed smooth to prevent damage to rubber seals.

Does the 10-year guarantee cover installation errors?

No, the guarantee typically covers the manufacturing quality of the product, not the quality of the installation. Ensure components are installed per manufacturer guidelines.

Is the gutter grey finish paintable?

It is generally not recommended to paint the gutter, as the finish is designed to be low-maintenance and durable on its own.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling at joints

Check that the internal seals are clean and correctly seated within the jointing components.

Gutter sagging over time

Ensure that the distance between support brackets does not exceed manufacturer recommendations and tighten all fixing points.

Overflowing during heavy rain

Clear debris from the gutter run and ensure the 110mm downpipe entrance is not obstructed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly higher water capacity than standard domestic gutters
  • Robust construction suitable for industrial use
  • Simplifies long installations with 4m section lengths
  • Comes with a 10-year manufacturer guarantee

Cons

  • Requires specific 110mm downpipes, limiting cross-brand compatibility
  • Larger profile may be visually imposing for small residential buildings
  • Requires sturdy, high-density bracket placement due to weight

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the supporting fascia board is secure and capable of handling the weight of the Xtraflo system when full of water. The system is specifically built to match 110mm downpipe components; avoid mixing with smaller pipe diameters to prevent flow restriction. Care involves periodic inspection to clear debris, as larger gutters can trap significant amounts of leaves and sediment. Use mild soap and water for cleaning; avoid harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the material finish. Regularly check that joints remain sealed and that all bracket fasteners are tightened to account for thermal expansion and contraction.
