FAQs

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a measuring tape, a saw for cutting the pipe, and possibly a level and screwdriver for securing the brackets.

Can I paint the downpipe?

How do I connect to a square gutter?

You will need the RDS2 adaptor to connect the round downpipe to a square gutter.

Is the Anthracite Grey color fade-resistant?

While the color is durable, some fading may occur over a long period with direct sunlight exposure.

How do I maintain the downpipe?

Regularly inspect and clear any debris to ensure smooth water flow. Clean as needed, using a soft cloth and soapy water.

What type of joints are used?
