Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Industrial/Xtraflo Downpipe Kit is designed for commercial and agricultural property managers or contractors who require a high-capacity drainage solution to manage large volumes of roof runoff. This kit features a robust hopper head configuration, making it perfect for consolidating multiple gutter outlets into a single 110mm downpipe. While the system is highly durable and easy to install, it is specifically engineered for the FloPlast XtraFlo 170mm industrial gutter system, limiting its compatibility with smaller, standard residential guttering setups.

FAQs

Can I use this with non-FloPlast gutters?

This kit is designed for the FloPlast XtraFlo 170mm system and is not guaranteed to be compatible with other manufacturer's guttering.

Do I need glue for the joints?

No. The system uses push-fit ring seals. Do not use solvent weld glue, as this will prevent the pipe from expanding and contracting with temperature changes.

How often should I clean the hopper head?

It is recommended to clear the hopper at least twice a year, or after heavy autumn leaf fall, to ensure high-capacity flow is maintained.

Is the material paintable?

FloPlast products are designed with a smooth finish. While it is possible to paint, we recommend using a specialist plastic primer, though the black finish is UV-resistant and generally does not require painting.

Can the 110mm pipe be cut to length?

Yes, the pipe can be easily cut to any required length using a standard fine-toothed hand saw.

Troubleshooting

Joints are difficult to push together.

Ensure the pipe end is chamfered/smooth and use additional silicone lubricant (SL40) on the ring seals.

Leaking at the pipe coupling.

Check that the ring seal is properly seated in the fitting and that the pipe has been inserted to the correct depth mark.

Downpipe vibrating in high winds.

Ensure that the six included pipe clips are evenly spaced and firmly attached to the wall structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete kit reduces sourcing time for individual components
  • UV-stabilised material ensures long-term color and structural integrity
  • Push-fit connections significantly speed up installation time
  • Hopper head design effectively handles high-volume water flow

Cons

  • Specifically designed for 170mm XtraFlo guttering, limiting versatility
  • Requires professional-grade tools for precise cutting of downpipes
  • Silicone lubricant spray must be purchased separately for seals

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.

  1. 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.
  2. Alignment: Ensure the downpipe is plumb (perfectly vertical) to prevent stress on the hopper connection.
  3. 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.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the hopper head for debris or leaves that may obstruct the 110mm opening. Rinse with water to maintain clear flow paths.
