The Brett Martin 65mm Square Downpipe Shoe is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable and aesthetically clean finish for modern rainwater drainage systems. Its primary benefit is the efficient redirection of water away from building foundations to prevent dampness and structural erosion, though users should ensure their current system is a 65mm square profile to ensure compatibility.

No, this component is designed exclusively for 65mm square downpipe systems.
The system is designed with a durable finish, but if painting is required, use a high-quality exterior plastic-specific paint.
The snap-together design is engineered for a secure fit; ensure no debris is trapped inside the fitting during assembly.
The square profile allows for up to 20% higher water flow capacity compared to traditional half-round designs.
Inspect it seasonally or after heavy storms to ensure no blockage prevents the water from exiting away from the foundation.
Ensure the shoe is fully seated on the downpipe and check that the connection is not obstructed by debris.
Check for burrs on the cut end of the pipe and ensure the pipe is a standard 65mm square size.
Use a level when mounting the downpipe clips to ensure the vertical path is straight before attaching the bottom shoe.
To install, ensure the downpipe is cut squarely to the required length. The shoe should be pushed securely onto the bottom end of the 65mm square pipe. If you are using other Brett Martin Squarestyle components, utilize the integral fixing clips for a secure fit. For maintenance, keep the shoe free of debris such as leaves or silt to ensure water flow remains unimpeded. Periodically inspect the joint where the shoe meets the pipe to ensure it has not shifted due to extreme temperature fluctuations or external impacts. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent to maintain the Arctic White finish.
