Plastic Guttering Parts - Half Round Roof Gutter & Downpipe Joints/Connectors
From the roofline down we have listed some of the most common UPVC guttering parts used on properties within the UK
All plastic roof gutter parts listed are from the 112mm half round range and are readily available to purchase from your local and online guttering suppliers. There are several manufacturers of 112mm PVC guttering parts so there will be slight differences in designs. Most guttering manufacturers sensibly and conveniently produce 112mm UPVC half round guttering parts that are compatible with each other.
112mm Plastic Half Round Rainwater Guttering System
External Gutter Stopend (112mm)
Rainwater guttering part connected to the end of a roof gutter run. Internal gutter stopends are also produced.
90 Degree Gutter Angle (112mm)
A roof gutter connector used on internal and external corners.
45 Degree Gutter Angle (112mm)
Guttering joint used on the corners of hexagonal bay windows on Victorian and Edwardian homes.
Gutter Joint Bracket (112mm)
This connector joins and supports roof gutter lengths. A gutter union is a similar connector but requires the support of a gutter bracket.
Gutter Support Bracket (112mm)
This type of guttering part supports roof gutter runs, gutter unions and gutter stopend outlets. Two types of these support brackets are available for one screw fixing (shown) and two screw fixing. It’s recommended that gutter support brackets have a maximum spacing of 1000mm and are secured to the fascia board using 1" No.10 rustless screws.
Gutter Stopend Outlet (112mm)
This roof gutter part connects to the end of a gutter run at the lowest point and connects to a downpipe or pipe connector.
Gutter Running Outlet (112mm)
A guttering part that connects within a gutter run at the lowest point and connects to a downpipe or pipe connector.
112.5 Degree Downpipe Bend (68mm)
This offset guttering part enables a connection from an overhanging roof gutter outlet to an out of line downpipe secured to the wall. Two of these pipe bends and the right length of cut downpipe are required to make a swan neck to complete connection. This type of downpipe bend is sometimes connected into guttering systems the wrong way. This part has been photographed the right way up and must be connected within the system this way. When connected incorrectly, water will leak from the joint and run along the outside of the downpipe which could cause damp problems, this is a problem that’s hard to detect so it’s a good idea to have your rainwater guttering system inspected at least once a year.
Guttering Downpipe Branch (68mm)
This guttering part enables a branch off from a downpipe. Seen on Victorian and Edwardian residential properties where downpipes meet from the main roof and bay window.
Guttering Downpipe Connector (68mm)
Guttering part for joining downpipe lengths. This type of downpipe connector has been photographed the right way up and must be connected this way. Just like the 112.5 degree downpipe bend shown above, if connected into the system incorrectly, it will leak rainwater. This guttering part requires securing with a downpipe bracket.
Guttering Downpipe Bracket (68mm)
Guttering part for securing downpipes to walls. This downpipe bracket is attached to the wall with a 2" no.10 rustless screw and then clamped around the downpipe or pipe connector. Downpipe brackets should be secured in place with a maximum spacing of 2 metres between downpipe connectors. Two types of these downpipe brackets are available for one screw fixing (shown) and two screw fixing.
Guttering Downpipe Shoe (68mm)
Guttering part that connects to the bottom of the downpipe to divert rainwater away from foundations into a gully. This guttering part requires the support of a downpipe bracket.
