Troubleshooting
Stop end not sealing correctly, causing drips
Ensure the gutter and stop end surfaces were clean and dry before applying adhesive. Verify that sufficient adhesive was used and that the joint was held securely during the curing process. Check for any damage to the gutter or stop end.
Difficulty fitting the stop end
Ensure you are using the correct stop end for the 117mm Polyflow system. Gently clean the edges of both the gutter and the stop end. If slight resistance is encountered, a small amount of lubricant (like soapy water) can be used sparingly, but ensure the surface is dry before applying adhesive.
Discoloration of the stop end
While PVCu is durable, prolonged exposure to certain pollutants or algae growth can cause mild discoloration. Clean with a mild detergent and water. For stubborn marks, a PVCu cleaner might be suitable, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This internal stop end is specifically designed for the Polypipe 117mm Polyflow Deep Capacity Gutter system. Ensure your existing or planned guttering matches these specifications before installation.
Setup: Installation typically involves applying solvent cement (or appropriate adhesive for PVCu) to the inside of the stop end and the exterior of the gutter end, then pushing them together firmly and holding for a short period. Ensure a clean and dry surface for optimal adhesion. It is recommended to follow the specific installation guidelines provided by Polypipe for the Polyflow system.
