FAQs

What is the primary function of this gutter angle?

The primary function is to create a precise 90-degree change in direction for a gutter run, allowing rainwater to be channeled effectively around corners or building features.

What material is the gutter angle made from?

It is manufactured from durable PVCu (Polyvinyl chloride).

Is this angle compatible with other brands of guttering?

This angle is specifically designed for the Polypipe Polyflow rainwater system. Using it with other brands or sizes is not recommended and may result in poor performance or leaks.

What are the dimensions of this gutter angle?

The dimensions are 117mm in width and 75mm in depth.

What does Kitemark and BBA Approved mean?

These approvals indicate that the product has been independently tested and certified to meet stringent quality and performance standards set by recognized authorities.

How should I clean the gutter angle?

Clean regularly with water and a mild detergent if necessary. Use a soft cloth or brush to remove debris. Avoid abrasive materials.

Can this angle be painted?

PVCu products are typically supplied with a finished color. Painting is generally not recommended as it can affect the material's properties and void warranties. If painting is essential, consult the manufacturer's guidelines for compatible paints.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the joint

Ensure the PVCu solvent cement was applied correctly and evenly to both surfaces. Check that the joint was held firmly during the setting time. If the leak persists, the joint may need to be re-made or a suitable sealant applied externally.

Gutter appears to be overflowing despite clear channels

Verify that the 90-degree angle is correctly installed and that there are no internal obstructions. Ensure the pitch of the guttering leading to the angle is sufficient to carry water effectively. Check that the connected downpipe is clear.

Fading or discoloration of the black finish

While PVCu is durable, prolonged and intense UV exposure can cause some fading over many years. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water can help maintain the finish. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This gutter angle is designed for straightforward installation within the Polypipe Polyflow rainwater system. Ensure all connecting pipes and fittings are clean and free from debris. Apply solvent cement specifically designed for PVCu to both the spigot end of the angle and the socket of the connecting fitting, then push together firmly and hold for a few seconds to ensure a secure bond. Always follow the specific instructions provided with the solvent cement.

Compatibility:

The Polypipe 117mm Polyflow Gutter Angle (RD503B) is designed to be compatible with other components of the Polypipe Polyflow 117mm rainwater system. It is crucial to use it with other Polyflow gutters, downpipes, and fittings of the same size and system type to ensure optimal performance and a watertight seal.

Care:

Regularly inspect the guttering system for debris such as leaves, twigs, and sediment. Clean the gutters and angles by flushing with water. A soft brush or cloth can be used to remove stubborn dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch or damage the PVCu surface. Periodically check joints for any signs of leakage and ensure the system is securely fixed to the building.
