FAQs

What is the purpose of the 112.5-degree angle?

The angle provides a smooth transition for water flow, allowing it to change direction without significant restriction.

Can I use this bend with other brands of downpipe?

It is designed to be compatible with FloPlast 68mm round downpipe systems. Using it with other brands may result in a poor fit or leaks.

How do I create a 'swan neck' with this bend?

Use two of these bends with a short piece of downpipe in between them.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

You'll need tools for cutting the downpipe (e.g., a hacksaw) and securing the clips or fixings.

What should I do if the bend cracks?

Replace the bend immediately to prevent water leaks. Contact FloPlast or your supplier for a replacement.

How do I maintain the color of the brown bend?

The brown color is designed to be durable. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking from the connection.

Check the connection between the bend and the downpipe. Ensure a secure fit. If necessary, readjust and re-clip.

Slow water flow through the downpipe.

Check the bend and downpipe for blockages (leaves, debris). Clean out any obstructions.

  2. Installation:
  • Cut the downpipe to the required length.
