Coninx Gutter Connector
The Coninx PVC Gutter Connector serves as the primary union for joining two lengths of guttering in residential or commercial rainwater management systems. This fitting utilizes a high-compression seal to prevent leaks while accommodating the natural thermal expansion of plastic components. It is compatible with standard Coninx profiles and similar uPVC eaves drainage systems.
Built for the Job
Roofing contractors and plumbers use this component to extend gutter runs beyond the standard 3-meter or 4-meter manufactured lengths. On-site installation requires a fitting that can withstand physical handling and environmental stress without cracking. This connector is engineered from high-impact unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, which maintains structural rigidity even when loaded with heavy rainwater or minor debris. The internal design features a central stop-mark to guide the installer on the correct positioning of the gutter ends, ensuring that the system has enough room to move during temperature fluctuations between day and night. This prevents the guttering from bowing or pulling away from the fascia boards over time.
-
Connecting straight gutter lengths on long eaves runs.
-

Product Highlights
- Weather Resistance
-
The uPVC compound includes UV stabilizers to prevent the material from becoming brittle or fading under intense sunlight.
- Sealing Technology
-
- Dual-ribbed EPDM rubber gaskets for a reliable hydrostatic seal.
- Pre-fitted seals reduce assembly time and minimize the risk of installer error.
- High-retention clips ensure the gutter remains locked in place during high winds.

On-Site & Workshop Notes
-
Clean the gutter ends of any burrs or sharp edges before inserting them into the fitting to avoid damaging the gaskets.
-
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the seals to facilitate easier insertion and allow for smoother thermal movement.
-
Always align the gutter end with the ‘insert to here’ line marked inside the connector to leave a 5mm expansion gap.
-
Check the condition of the rubber seals periodically if the system is being disassembled for cleaning or maintenance.
