Polypipe 117mm Polyflow Union Bracket - Black - RD502B

Its primary purpose is to join two sections of the Polypipe 117mm Polyflow Deep Capacity Gutter together, providing a secure and watertight connection.

The bracket is manufactured from durable PVCu (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride).

No, this bracket is specifically designed for the Polypipe Polyflow Deep Capacity Gutter system with 117mm dimensions.

No, fixings such as screws or rivets are not typically included with the bracket and must be sourced separately according to installation requirements.

The deep capacity design allows the gutter system to handle a larger volume of rainwater, reducing the risk of overflow during heavy rainfall.

While PVCu can be painted, it is recommended to use paints specifically designed for plastic surfaces to ensure adhesion and durability. The black finish is usually intended to be the final aesthetic.

It provides the visual appeal of traditional cast iron gutters, which is often desired for period properties, but with the modern advantages of PVCu, such as lighter weight, easier installation, and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Ensure the gutter ends are fully inserted into the bracket and that a suitable gutter sealant has been applied correctly during installation. Check for any debris preventing a proper seal and reapply sealant if necessary.

Verify that the bracket is properly secured to the gutter sections. If fixings were used, ensure they are tightened appropriately. If the bracket is part of a larger support structure, check the stability of that structure.

Check for blockages in the gutter system further along the run. Ensure the gutter has adequate fall towards the downpipe. The bracket itself should not impede water flow if installed correctly.
