The Lindab Rainline 87mm downpipe shoe is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, long-lasting finish to their guttering system. It is ideal for directing water safely into ground drains and gullies while providing a clean, professional look. While the steel construction offers superior longevity compared to plastic, it requires careful handling during installation to avoid scratching the protective coating before it has a chance to self-heal.

It is specifically designed for the Lindab Rainline 87mm steel system and may not provide a secure, watertight fit with plastic components.
The Lindab system is finished with a high-quality coating designed to resist UV damage and maintain its color significantly longer than standard plastic.
The zinc coating reacts with oxygen and moisture to create a protective barrier that seals minor scratches, preventing rust from forming.
While the steel accepts paint, the factory finish is designed for optimal performance; applying aftermarket paint may void the benefits of the zinc coating.
The shoe should be installed using the recommended Lindab fixings to ensure a tight, secure connection that won't vibrate or slip.
Ensure the downpipe end is perfectly round and free from burrs or deformations before attempting to slide the shoe on.
The 275g zinc coating is designed to be self-healing; minor surface scratches will naturally oxidize and seal over time.
Check the angle of the shoe and ensure it is positioned deep enough into the gully to capture the full flow of water.
Installation of the 87mm downpipe shoe is straightforward for those familiar with standard rainwater systems. Simply slide the shoe onto the end of the downpipe and secure it with the integrated fixings. Ensure the shoe is positioned with a slight downward angle to optimize flow into your drain or gully. Compatibility is restricted to 87mm Lindab Rainline components; do not force fit onto pipes of different diameters or materials, as this can damage the protective coating. For care, keep the area around the base of the shoe clear of heavy garden debris. If the finish is scratched during installation, the 275g zinc coating is designed to self-heal, but avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can strip the finish.
