Title: Question re: UPVC Door/Window Drainage Caps (knocked one off today!)
Post by: Cookie on September 04, 2015, 05:36:51 pm
I knocked one of those UPVC door drainage caps off a customers door today..... They seem to come loose off windows & doors quite easily in my experience.

I see they sell these on eBay:

Are these always a standard size or do they differ between UPVC manufacturer?

Just be careful around vents, they can be worse and more expensive to replace, I sort of know what types of
vent that are prone to this and tell customers in advance that I don't replace should they fall off.

Thanks Dave. I have just ordered a set off eBay. Certainly something useful to keep in the van.
