The FloPlast Xtraflo Industrial Downpipe Single Socket Shoe is an essential component for commercial and industrial drainage systems, specifically designed for 110mm downpipes that terminate above ground level. Ideal for property owners and contractors managing roof drainage, this shoe directs water away from building foundations to prevent erosion and water damage. While it offers a simple, tool-free installation, users should note that it is intended for open-discharge applications and is not designed to connect directly into sealed underground drainage gullies.

No, this is specifically designed for the 110mm Xtraflo industrial range.
No, this is a terminal component intended for discharge onto the ground or a surface, not for insertion into a drainage gully.
Glue is not strictly required due to the push-fit design, though it is recommended if the unit is in a high-traffic area to prevent accidental displacement.
The product is made from high-grade, UV-stabilized uPVC, designed to resist fading and brittle fracture.
While the material is durable, you can use specialized plastic-adhesion paints if you need to match a specific building facade color.
Ensure your guttering is fitted with leaf guards at the roof level, but if debris reaches the shoe, simply pull it off to clear the obstruction.
Ensure the downpipe is cut square and is free of burrs or plastic debris that could prevent a flush fit.
Check that the internal seal is properly seated. If the pipe is deformed, use silicone sealant to ensure a watertight gap fill.
Gently rotate the shoe back and forth while pulling upwards; avoid using metal pry bars that could crack the plastic housing.
Installation requires only that the downpipe is cut to the appropriate length so the shoe sits just above the ground surface. Simply push the shoe onto the pipe until the internal seal is engaged. No lubricants are typically required, but a thin layer of silicone grease can aid assembly on older pipes. For ongoing care, the material requires no painting; simply clean with a damp cloth if dirt accumulates. Inspect the joint annually to ensure the seal has not been dislodged by physical impact or thermal expansion. If you are working in a location with high foot traffic, you may choose to secure the connection with an industrial-strength solvent weld, though note that this will make future removal more difficult.
