The Lindab self-cleaning leaf trap is designed for homeowners and drainage installers looking to protect their underground pipework from debris accumulation. By utilizing an innovative sloped grid, it effectively ejects leaves and twigs while allowing water to pass through, significantly reducing the frequency of manual gutter maintenance. However, users should note that it is specifically engineered for 100mm downpipes and will not fit smaller or larger diameter systems without adaptation.

No, this model is specifically designed for 100mm downpipes and will not create a secure seal on smaller piping.
Standard plumbing tools for cutting and securing downpipes, such as a hacksaw and screwdriver, are generally sufficient.
The trap is designed for larger debris like leaves and twigs. Finer particles like silt may still pass through into your drainage system.
It is best installed at a reachable height on the downpipe, typically just above the ground level or above the point where the pipe enters the drainage system.
Position the unit so the debris ejection side is angled away from the exterior wall to avoid potential water splashes or debris buildup against the house.
Ensure the leaf trap is not positioned too low and that the downpipe below the trap is free of obstructions.
Check that the unit is installed at a slight angle as intended and remove any compacted debris by hand.
Installation involves cutting the existing 100mm downpipe at an appropriate height to allow for the insertion of the leaf trap unit. Ensure the unit is oriented so that the sloped grid faces away from the building facade to prevent wet debris from staining or resting against the wall. For maintenance, while the device is self-cleaning, it is recommended to conduct a visual inspection twice a year—typically in early spring and late autumn—to ensure the grid remains clear of any dense debris mats that may have become wedged during extreme storm events. Use a soft brush to clear any stuck items if necessary.
