What's the difference between UV+ & Standard?

Most of our downspouts are offered in either a UV+ or Standard material. Our UV+ variants are made from a high-grade ASA polymer, while the standard spouts are made from PVC. Refer to the below materials table for an overview of the performance & characteristics of ASA vs. PVC.

What kind of plastic cement works with UV+?

While standard PVC cement will work with our Standard (PVC) downspout, our UV+ nozzle is made from ASA which has a very similar chemical makeup to ABS. As such, we recommend using any standard all-purpose plastic cement which supports both PVC & ABS for the tightest bond.

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 UV+ (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
