Floplast 68Mm Pipe Clip Black

Floplast 68Mm Pipe Clip Black

The FloPlast 68mm Round Downpipe Clip (Standard Pipe Clip) is a precision-molded uPVC structural fastener engineered for the secure lateral stabilization of 68mm circular rainwater downpipes. This component is designed to maintain the vertical alignment of the discharge stack while providing the necessary mechanical offset from the building substrate.

Engineering & Material Specifications

• Material Composition: Manufactured from high-tensile, unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC). The material is selected for its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to structural creep under continuous mechanical tension.
• Structural Configuration: Features a wrap-around semi-rigid profile designed to exert consistent radial pressure on the 68mm OD (outer diameter) pipe, preventing lateral displacement or vibration during high-velocity water discharge.
• UV & Weather Resistance: The black pigment is formulated with advanced UV-stabilizers to prevent polymer chain scission, surface chalking, and loss of elasticity caused by prolonged exposure to direct solar radiation.
• Fastener Geometry: Includes dual-point reinforced fixing apertures. These are designed to accommodate standard M5 (No. 10) stainless steel or zinc-plated fasteners, ensuring a high-torque mechanical bond to masonry, timber, or metal cladding.

Technical Installation Profile
This clip is designed for use within the FloPlast 68mm Round Downpipe system and conforms to all relevant UK building regulations for rainwater goods. For optimal system stability and to prevent pipe bowing under thermal expansion, clips should be installed at maximum vertical intervals of 2.0 metres.

The design incorporates a specific offset distance to ensure adequate clearance between the pipe and the wall, facilitating ease of maintenance and preventing the accumulation of moisture against the building fabric.
