FAQs
What size guttering is this bracket compatible with?
This union bracket is specifically designed for 75mm half round guttering.
Can I use this bracket with a different size downpipe?
No, this bracket is designed to connect to 50mm round downpipes only.
What material is the bracket made from?
The bracket is manufactured from durable PVCu (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride).
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
A watertight seal is achieved by cleaning the surfaces, applying appropriate PVCu solvent cement to both the inside of the bracket and the outside of the gutter ends, and then pushing the sections together firmly with a slight twist. Hold for 30-60 seconds to allow initial bonding and follow full curing instructions.
Is this bracket suitable for all Polypipe rainwater systems?
It is part of the Polypipe Building Products Rainwater Systems range and is designed for their 75mm half round gutter profiles. Always ensure it matches the specific gutter profile you are using.
How should I clean the union bracket?
Clean the bracket with water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer upon purchase. Please refer to your purchase documentation or the Polypipe website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the union bracket joint
Ensure solvent cement was applied evenly to both surfaces and the joint was held firmly during initial curing. Check for any cracks in the bracket or improper fit. If a leak persists, the joint may need to be redone.
Bracket does not fit securely onto gutter
Verify that you are using a 75mm half round gutter and that both the gutter ends and the bracket interior are clean and free from obstructions. Ensure the correct size bracket is being used.
Discoloration of the black finish over time
While PVCu is UV resistant, prolonged extreme sun exposure can cause minor fading. Use a mild PVCu cleaner to restore appearance if necessary. Ensure regular cleaning.
