Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Round Downpipe Shoe is an essential drainage component for homeowners and contractors looking to manage rainwater runoff at the base of a 68mm round downpipe system. It is specifically designed to direct water flow safely away from building foundations, providing a clean and finished look in a modern anthracite grey finish. While the push-fit system allows for convenient installation and removal for periodic cleaning, users should be aware that the fitting requires additional securing methods, such as sealant or weld, if installed in high-traffic areas where it may be bumped or disturbed.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this compatible with square downpipes?

No, this specific model (RB3AG) is engineered exclusively for 68mm round downpipe systems.

Do I need any special tools to install this?

Generally, no tools are required as it is a push-fit design, though you may need a saw to cut your downpipe to the correct length.

Can this be painted?

While uPVC can be painted, it is generally unnecessary due to the high-quality, pre-finished anthracite grey color.

Is this shoe UV stable?

Yes, it is manufactured from high-quality uPVC designed for outdoor use and resistance against sunlight degradation.

What is the angle of the shoe?

The FloPlast shoe typically features a 112.5-degree bend to effectively angle water flow away from the wall.

Troubleshooting

Joint feels loose or wobbles

Apply a small bead of uPVC solvent weld or external grade silicone sealant to the pipe end to create a firm, semi-permanent bond.

Downpipe is difficult to insert into the shoe

Ensure the pipe end is free of burrs or rough edges from cutting. Applying a tiny amount of lubricant or soapy water can help the pipe slide into the rubber seals or friction fit.

Water leaking at the joint

Ensure the pipe is pushed in fully to the internal stop. If leakage persists, check that the downpipe was cut straight and is not deformed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Quick and straightforward push-fit installation
Modern and versatile anthracite grey color
High-quality weather-resistant uPVC construction
Easy to remove for debris clearance and system maintenance
Protects building foundations from water runoff

Cons

Requires additional fixing methods in high-traffic areas
Compatibility limited strictly to 68mm round systems
Material may fade slightly over many years of intense UV exposure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: ensure your 68mm downpipe is cut to the desired length, then firmly push the shoe onto the end of the pipe until it is seated securely. If the fit feels loose, or if the installation is in a vulnerable area, apply a suitable uPVC-grade sealant or solvent weld to the pipe end before insertion. To maintain the system, periodically remove the shoe to check for leaf or silt accumulation, especially during autumn months. Clean the unit with warm soapy water and a soft cloth to maintain the anthracite grey finish; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
