Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation follows a standard push-fit procedure. Always cut the downpipe using a fine-tooth hacksaw, ensuring all rough edges are filed smooth to avoid damaging the internal ring seals.
- Lubrication: Spray `SL40` silicone lubricant onto the ring seals of all fittings. This is critical for preventing joint friction and ensuring a leak-free expansion and contraction of the pipe.
- Alignment: Ensure the downpipe is plumb (perfectly vertical) to prevent stress on the hopper connection.
- Clamping: Use the provided pipe clips to secure the system to the wall; do not overtighten, as the pipe needs slight room for thermal expansion.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the hopper head for debris or leaves that may obstruct the 110mm opening. Rinse with water to maintain clear flow paths.
