What is a 65mm Downpipe Clip used for?
A downpipe clip (often called a pipe bracket or pipe stay) is the essential hardware used to fix a vertical 65mm square downpipe to the external wall of a building. Its primary role is to provide stability and support, ensuring that the weight of the water inside the pipe doesn’t cause the drainage system to sag or pull away from the fascia boards.
Why Stability Matters in Rainwater Systems
During intense storms, downpipes handle a significant volume and weight of water. Without high-quality Downpipe Clips, the force of the water or high winds can cause pipes to vibrate, potentially loosening joints and leading to leaks. At ECO HEAT SHOP LTD, our clips are designed to provide a “click-fit” security that allows for the natural thermal expansion and contraction of the plastic without compromising the grip on the pipe.
Built for Durability and Longevity
Traditional metal clips are prone to rusting, which can lead to unsightly orange streaks on your brickwork. Our clips are made from high-impact, unplasticized PVC (uPVC). This material is entirely weatherproof and UV-stabilized, meaning it won’t become brittle or discolored under direct sunlight. Whether you are installing a new system or replacing old, broken brackets, these clips provide a maintenance-free solution that matches the aesthetic of modern square line guttering.
