Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Deepflow/Hi-Cap Downpipe Socket is an essential component for homeowners and contractors installing or repairing 80mm round downpipe systems. Its primary benefit is the push-fit joint design, which enables rapid assembly and simplified maintenance; however, it is specifically engineered for compatibility with FloPlast Deepflow and Hi-Cap ranges and may not fit generic downpipe brands seamlessly.

FAQs

Can this be used with other brands of 80mm downpipe?

This socket is designed specifically for FloPlast Deepflow and Hi-Cap systems. While it may fit some generic 80mm pipes, we recommend using it within the FloPlast ecosystem for guaranteed compatibility.

Does this require glue or solvent weld?

No, this is a push-fit component designed for dry installation without the need for chemical adhesives.

Is the black finish UV stable?

Yes, the component is manufactured to withstand external conditions and resists fading over time.

Can I reuse this socket if I take it apart?

Yes, the push-fit design is specifically intended to be removable and reusable for maintenance purposes.

What is the primary function of this part?

It acts as a connector to join two 80mm round downpipes vertically in a rainwater system.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking water.

Ensure that both pipe ends are cut square and pushed fully into the socket until they hit the internal stop.

Socket is difficult to push onto the pipe.

Check the pipe end for burrs or sharp edges and lightly chamfer the end. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant can also assist assembly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free push-fit installation
  • Easy to remove for seasonal cleaning
  • Compliant with BS EN 1462 standards
  • Durable, weather-resistant finish
  • Lightweight for safer handling at height

Cons

  • Optimized primarily for FloPlast systems
  • Not intended for non-standard pipe diameters
  • Requires proper alignment for a watertight seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 80mm pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Slide the socket over the top pipe, then insert the bottom pipe into the socket, ensuring both are pushed fully home to the internal stop. This component is compatible with all FloPlast Deepflow and Hi-Cap 80mm round downpipe systems. Care is minimal; periodically check the connection points during your biannual gutter cleaning to ensure the socket remains seated correctly. Avoid using harsh solvents when cleaning the exterior; mild soapy water is sufficient to maintain the black finish.
