Full details

It provides a secure, reliable method for anchoring downpipes to building facades, ensuring the entire assembly remains stable during high winds or heavy rainfall.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this clip compatible with square downpipes?

No, this clip is specifically engineered for 68mm round downpipes only.

How many clips do I need for a standard downpipe length?

It is generally recommended to place a clip every 1.5 to 2 meters to ensure adequate support.

Can I paint these clips to match my wall?

While the black finish is designed for longevity, if you choose to paint them, ensure you use a plastic-compatible primer and exterior paint.

Is this clip resistant to UV rays?

Yes, the product is manufactured from high-quality PVC formulated for outdoor use and resistance to environmental degradation.

Do mounting screws come included with the clip?

No, mounting screws and wall plugs are typically sold separately as they must be chosen based on the specific surface (brick, wood, or concrete) you are attaching to.

Troubleshooting

Clip feels loose against the wall

Check that the wall plug used is the correct size for the drill bit and masonry type; replace with a higher-grip plug if necessary.

Downpipe does not fit snugly into the clip

Verify that your downpipe is standard 68mm round; if there is a slight gap, ensure the clip is centered and properly tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable PVC construction
  • Secure side-fixing mechanism for structural stability
  • Matches standard 68mm round downpipe dimensions
  • Professional, unobtrusive black finish

Cons

  • Not compatible with square profile downpipes
  • Limited to 68mm diameter systems
  • Requires proper drilling and wall plugs for secure masonry attachment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard tools, including a drill, masonry bit, and appropriate wall plugs for your specific building material. Ensure the clip is positioned flush against the surface before tightening. Compatibility is strictly limited to 68mm round downpipe systems; do not attempt to force this clip onto larger or non-round profiles as it may lead to cracking or structural failure. For care and maintenance, periodically inspect the clips after extreme weather events to ensure that fasteners remain tight and the PVC has not become brittle. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive chemicals that might degrade the finish.
