The Lindab Magestic Downpipe Connector is an essential component for homeowners and contractors seeking a robust, long-lasting solution for joining 87mm steel downpipes in residential drainage systems. Its primary benefit lies in the advanced magnesium zinc alloy coating, which provides industry-leading corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for harsh climates including coastal regions; however, users should note that the finish is intended to weather from its initial state to a dark grey metallic appearance over 3-5 years rather than remaining bright silver.

No, the Magestic magnesium zinc alloy is specifically designed for high-corrosion environments and offers superior protection compared to standard galvanized steel.
No, the material is designed to be maintenance-free and will naturally develop a dark grey metallic patina over time.
The alloy has self-healing properties that protect against minor scratches, preventing rust from developing in those areas.
No, this connector is specifically engineered for use with Lindab steel downpipe systems.
The gap is necessary to accommodate thermal expansion, preventing the system from buckling or putting stress on brackets during temperature changes.
Check that the pipe ends are perfectly circular and not crimped from previous handling. Deburr any sharp edges from the pipe cuts.
Ensure the pipes are fully inserted and that the gap for thermal expansion does not exceed manufacturer recommendations.
To install, slide the connector over the ends of the two downpipes being joined. It is critical to maintain a 6mm gap between the two pipe ends inside the connector; this allows for natural thermal expansion and contraction of the steel during temperature fluctuations. Ensure the joint is seated firmly. No special cleaning agents are required; the material is self-healing, though you should remove any heavy debris or salt buildup annually to maintain the aesthetic appearance during the weathering phase.
