Aus. Patent Pending
Aus. Des. No. 202418766
Compatibility:
- Designed for the Marley RP80® 80mm round downpipe system (White and all Stratus Design Series® colours available)
- Adaptor set for RP65® downpipe sold separately, (white only)
- Do not install on downpipes larger than 80mm as this could cause a flow restriction
- Not recommended for installation onto rectangular downpipe systems. If a connection onto rectangular downpipe is required install a short section of RP80® above, (110mm length min.) and below, (70mm length min.) the Curve and then use the appropriate rectangular to round adaptors
- Metal downpipe systems: The Curve is compatible with 80mm metal downpipe systems by removing the top inset adaptor.
Warning – When connecting to metal downpipe ensure the pipe has not been dented or damaged.
Installation:
- If your downpipe system is connecting to a retention/detention tank, the tank inlet must be lower than the Curve. Note: if the tank is full and the overflow outlet is not sufficient to drain incoming water, the tank water can back up the downpipe and overflow out the Curve.
- Consideration should be given as to where the leaf debris will be discharged. If possible, avoid positioning Curve above pathways and decks. Wet leaves are a slip hazard.
- In areas where leaves can build up quickly it is advised that extra maintenance to unblock or prevent blockage is recommended
*New design significantly reduces splash off in heavy rainfall. Less than 1% water loss at 134 L/min
Positioning:
- Install the Curve at an easily accessible height for installation and maintenance
- The screen face of the Curve should be perpendicular to the downpipe, i.e. on the front face of the downpipe. Ensure the screen has been positioned correctly
Maintenance:
- Regularly check the screen to ensure it is free from debris blocking the water flow
- Routinely wash the filter screen, move the upper body up the pipe then lift and remove the screen using the black tab on the front, rinse under clean water
- Replacement filter screens are available if required
