The FloPlast Square Downpipe Spacer Bracket (RCS9) is designed for DIY enthusiasts and trade professionals needing to mount square downpipe systems on uneven wall surfaces. Its primary benefit is providing an 8mm offset to ensure pipes remain perfectly vertical when encountering rendered, cladded, or stepped brickwork, though it must be used specifically with compatible FloPlast cast iron effect downpipe clips to function correctly.

No, this spacer is specifically designed for square downpipe systems.
No, screws are generally provided with the downpipe clips or must be purchased separately based on your specific wall material.
This spacer provides an 8mm offset.
It is intended for FloPlast's 'cast iron effect' plastic square downpipe range, not actual cast iron material.
While technically possible, it is not recommended as it may compromise the structural stability of the mounting point.
Verify that the wall surface behind the spacer is flat or clear of debris; if the step is larger than 8mm, you may need additional structural support.
Confirm that you are using the correct FloPlast square cast iron effect clip model, as this spacer is specific to this series.
To install, position the spacer bracket against the wall where the downpipe clip is intended to be mounted. Align the mounting hole of the spacer with the pilot hole in the wall, then pass your fixing screw through both the FloPlast cast iron effect downpipe clip and the spacer before securing it into the masonry. Ensure that the pipe is checked for plumb using a spirit level before fully tightening. The bracket is low-maintenance; a simple wash with soapy water during periodic gutter cleaning is sufficient to maintain its appearance.
