What's the difference between PVC & ASA?

Most of our downspouts are offered in either a PVC or ASA polymer. Refer to the below materials table for an overview of the performance & characteristics of ASA vs. PVC.

What kind of plastic cement works with ASA?

While standard PVC cement will work with our PVC downspout, our ASA nozzle has very similar chemical makeup to ABS. As such, we recommend using any standard all-purpose plastic cement which supports PVC & ABS.

How to Install in Under 2 Minutes:

• Cut pipe to length (note above)
• Clear the surface of the pipe of any debris (if needed)
• Apply plastic solvent/cement or general purpose adhesive to outer surface of the pipe and inner hub inlet of the nozzle
• Note for ASA nozzles - ASA has a very similar chemical makeup to ABS, so recommend use of any standard all-purpose plastic cement which supports PVC & ABS
• While cement is still wet, slide nozzle onto pipe until fully secured
• Lock the escutcheon plate onto the nozzle (be sure to align the locking tongue to the track) pushing back until flush with the wall
