Product Information

Full details

The Polypipe 112mm Square Gutter is designed for homeowners and light commercial property owners seeking a durable and easy-to-install rainwater management solution. Its key benefit is the lightweight PVCu construction, which simplifies handling and installation at height while offering a maintenance-free finish. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for residential and light commercial applications, not heavy-duty industrial use. This 4-metre gutter section provides reliable rainwater collection and diversion, featuring a black, no-paint finish and seamless integration with other Polypipe Building Products.

FAQs

What is the length of this gutter section?

This specific Polypipe gutter section is 4 metres long.

What material is the gutter made from?

The gutter is constructed from PVCu (Polyvinyl Chloride).

Does the black finish require painting?

No, the black finish is integral and requires no painting. It is designed to be durable and maintenance-free.

How do I cut the gutter to size?

The gutter can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or a pipe cutter. Ensure cuts are clean and square for a proper fit with connecting pieces.

What type of fittings are compatible with this gutter?

This 112mm square gutter is designed to be compatible with other components from the Polypipe Building Products Rainwater Systems range. Always check specific product compatibility.

How often should I clean the gutter?

It is recommended to clean the gutter at least twice a year, typically in spring and autumn, to remove debris and prevent blockages.

Can this gutter be used for heavy rainfall areas?

This gutter is suitable for residential and light commercial applications. For areas with exceptionally heavy rainfall or large roof areas, ensure the system capacity is adequate or consider larger profiles if available within the Polypipe range.

Troubleshooting

Gutter is leaking at joints

Ensure the jointing surfaces are clean and dry. Reapply appropriate sealant or ensure the push-fit connection is fully engaged according to manufacturer instructions.

Water is overflowing the gutter

Check for blockages in the gutter or downpipe. Ensure the gutter has the correct fall towards the downpipe, typically a 1:500 gradient. Clean out any debris and ensure downpipe outlets are clear.

Gutter appears discolored or faded

While designed for durability, prolonged extreme UV exposure can affect PVCu. Clean the surface gently. For significant fading, consider if the product is suited for the specific environmental conditions or if a more UV-resistant material is needed for future installations.

Brackets feel loose

Ensure the brackets are securely fixed to the wall or fascia using appropriate fixings for the substrate. Re-tighten or replace fixings if they are damaged or corroded.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and easy to handle, simplifying installation.
  • Durable PVCu construction for long service life.
  • Low maintenance requirements, saving time and effort.
  • Quick and simple to cut and join, reducing labor costs.
  • Aesthetically versatile black finish requires no painting.

Cons

  • Primarily suited for residential and light commercial use, not heavy industrial applications.
  • PVCu may be susceptible to UV degradation over very long periods if exposed to intense sunlight without UV stabilizers.
  • Square profile may accumulate debris more readily than rounded profiles if not properly maintained.
  • Requires specific Polypipe fittings for a complete system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Install the gutter system using appropriate brackets at the recommended intervals to ensure proper slope towards the downpipe. Cut sections to length using a fine-toothed saw or pipe cutter. Join sections using Polypipe's solvent-free gutter joints or appropriate sealants for a watertight seal. Ensure all connections are secure and aligned correctly.

Compatibility: This 112mm square gutter is designed to integrate seamlessly with other components within the Polypipe Building Products Rainwater Systems range, including brackets, joints, downpipes, and outlets. Verify compatibility with specific Polypipe fittings before purchase.

Care: Clean the gutter periodically, especially at the start and end of the rainy season, to remove any accumulated leaves or debris that could cause blockages. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the PVCu surface. Inspect joints and seals annually for any signs of wear or leakage.
