Is this trap compatible with all downpipes?

Troubleshooting

Water overflowing from the top of the trap

The internal filter is likely blocked with debris. Manually remove the accumulated leaves and sediment to restore flow.

Unit feels loose or wobbly at the pipe connection

Ensure the trap is fully seated against the downpipe and that any secondary fasteners or sealant used during installation are secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Lindab RTSM involves aligning the unit with your existing downpipe and ensuring it connects securely to the ground or junction pipe. Because it is designed for standard pipe diameters, most residential downpipe systems will accommodate the trap without needing specialized adapters.

Care instructions are straightforward: to maintain optimal performance, the trap must be cleared manually at least once every six months. This involves removing the captured debris from the trap body to prevent stagnant water buildup or overflow. Regularly inspecting the unit after high-wind events is also recommended to ensure the system remains clear of large debris.
