Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the G-O-N Downspout Nozzle:
- Prepare the PVC Pipe: Ensure the PVC drain pipe is clean, dry, and cut to the appropriate length for the desired installation location.
- Apply PVC Cement: Apply a suitable PVC cement to the exterior of the PVC drain pipe and the interior of the nozzle's PVC insert. Follow the cement manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.
- Attach the Nozzle: Firmly push the G-O-N nozzle onto the PVC drain pipe, twisting slightly to ensure even distribution of the cement and a secure bond. Hold in place for a few seconds as the cement sets.
- Position the Escutcheon: The escutcheon is designed to sit flush against the wall surface, providing a finished look and acting as an anti-theft measure. Secure it using appropriate fasteners (not included) through the pre-drilled holes, ensuring it is level and tight against the wall.
- Curing Time: Allow adequate curing time for the PVC cement before water is introduced into the system, as recommended by the cement manufacturer.

Operation
The Rectorseal G-O-N Downspout Nozzle operates passively by directing water flow away from the building's foundation. Once installed, it requires no active user intervention. Its design ensures efficient water discharge, minimizing pooling and protecting the structural integrity of the building.
Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your G-O-N Downspout Nozzle, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the nozzle and the surrounding area for any debris, leaves, or other obstructions that might impede water flow.
- Cleaning: If clogs are observed, carefully remove any accumulated debris. A gentle flush with water can help clear minor blockages. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could damage the finish or material.
- Check for Damage: Inspect the nozzle and escutcheon for any signs of physical damage or loosening. Address any issues promptly to maintain functionality and appearance.

If you encounter issues with your G-O-N Downspout Nozzle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
