Leaf Guards and Gravel Excluders are required for circular roof outlets to prevent the drainpipe becoming blocked over time, leading to flooding. This Polypropylene Universal Leaf Guard ensures that water can drain efficiently. It can fit into all the different designs of Roofzone circular roof outlets and connectors. Suitable for 80-125mm outlets.
Roofzone leaf guards are manufactured with 12 rods at the bottom. They are flexible and spring loaded, and have a slightly serrated edge. The leaf guard is inserted into the top of the hole and the serrated edges will grip onto the inside of the drain connector or outlet, which has a series of small ridges around the inside rim of the shaft. This helps lock the guard into place and they do not need to be stuck into the hole. As the water flows into the pipe the pressure will be downwards, so the guard will remain in place without issue. They can be removed by squeezing the sides of the cage frame to narrow the bottom edges.
