Product Overview
68mm Round Top & Bottom Offset Downpipe Bend in White with a 112.5 degree angle.
This uPVC fitting is designed to alter the direction of 68mm round downpipes at either the top or bottom of the run and is fully compatible with 68mm round downpipe fittings. Manufactured from impact-resistant PVC with UV stability for long service life.
The 112.5 degree angle provides a controlled offset for navigating eaves, soffits, or ground-level projections, while the white finish complements light-coloured rooflines.
