FloPlast Hi-Cap Hopper for 80mm Downpipe
The FloPlast Hi-Cap Hopper for 80mm Downpipe is designed to efficiently collect and channel rainwater from multiple sources into a single downpipe. It’s an essential component for managing water flow where different roof sections meet, such as combining drainage from a main roof and a porch roof into one system.
Constructed from durable PVC-u, this hopper is built to handle outdoor conditions while maintaining long-term performance. Its open-box design allows rainwater from upper pipes to discharge freely into the hopper, before flowing smoothly into an 80mm round downpipe connected at the base. This helps prevent overflow and ensures your drainage system works efficiently, even during heavy rainfall.
While traditionally used in modern guttering systems, hoppers have also been used in older properties with combined drainage setups. In those cases, they sometimes directed waste water into rainwater pipes—though this practice is no longer used in new builds. Today, their primary function remains focused on effective rainwater management.
