Full details
The Polypipe 65mm Square Downpipe Bracket in white is designed for secure and reliable fixing of 65mm square downpipes in residential and light commercial settings. Its primary benefit is the durable PVCu construction, offering long-term weather resistance and UV protection. A potential consideration is its specific compatibility with 65mm square systems only.

FAQs
What size downpipe does this bracket support?
This bracket is specifically designed to support 65mm square downpipes.
What material is the bracket made from?
The bracket is manufactured from durable PVCu (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride).
Is this bracket suitable for all types of walls?
The bracket itself can be fitted to most wall types, but you must use appropriate fixings (screws and wall plugs) suitable for your specific wall material. These are not included.
How many brackets should I use per downpipe?
It is generally recommended to install brackets at intervals of approximately 1.5 to 2 meters along the length of the downpipe, and also at bends or offsets, to ensure adequate support.
Can I paint this bracket?
While PVCu can be painted, it is not generally recommended as it may affect the finish and UV stability. The product is supplied with a white finish designed to coordinate with standard rainwater systems.
What is the expected lifespan of the bracket?
Due to its durable PVCu construction and resistance to weathering and UV, the bracket is designed for a long service life, typically many years, when installed and maintained correctly.
Does the bracket come with screws?
No, the bracket is supplied without fixings. You will need to provide your own screws and wall plugs suitable for the wall material you are mounting to.
Troubleshooting
Downpipe is not secure in the bracket
Ensure the correct size (65mm square) downpipe is used. Check that the bracket is securely fastened to the wall and that the downpipe is fully seated within the bracket's channel. Gently adjust if necessary.
Bracket appears loose on the wall
Check the wall fixings. If they are loose, remove the bracket, replace the wall plugs if necessary, and re-secure the bracket with appropriate screws. Ensure the wall material is sound.
White finish is discolored or dirty
Clean the bracket with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. For stubborn marks, a diluted solution of white vinegar can be used sparingly, followed by rinsing. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
