Floplast Pipe Clip 8mm Spacer

The FloPlast Pipe Clip 8mm Spacer is a practical solution for maintaining a straight and consistent vertical line when installing downpipes on uneven exterior walls. Ideal for situations where brickwork features, render steps, or small projections prevent a flush fit, this spacer ensures the downpipe remains properly aligned and securely supported. Manufactured from durable, weather-resistant PVC-u, the 8mm spacer is designed for long-term outdoor performance. Measuring approximately 149mm in length, 43mm in width, and 12mm in depth, it provides the necessary stand-off distance to position pipe clips correctly without compromising stability. Lightweight yet robust, it is easy to handle during installation and suitable for both new-build and refurbishment projects. This spacer is particularly useful when working with FloPlast’s cast iron effect range, allowing installers to bring downpipes further away from the wall where required. It can be used in conjunction with compatible pipe sockets, pipe clips, and shoes with fixing lugs to achieve a secure and visually consistent installation. Conforming to BS EN 12200 and BS EN 607 standards, and backed by a 20-year manufacturer’s guarantee, it offers dependable quality and peace of mind.
