The FloPlast 65mm Square Downpipe Shoe is an essential drainage fitting designed for homeowners and contractors who need to terminate a square downpipe system safely when it is not discharging directly into a drain or gully. This component effectively directs rainwater away from building foundations to prevent structural water damage, though it requires precise placement to ensure proper clearance from wall surfaces.

No, this is specifically designed for 65mm square downpipe systems.
The product is a push-fit design, so glue is optional. It is recommended if you want a permanent fixture in high-traffic areas.
Yes, you can use specialized plastic-compatible spray paint to color match the white finish to your wall.
The lugs allow you to screw the shoe directly into the wall for added stability and to prevent the component from rotating or falling off.
It should be checked during your regular seasonal gutter cleaning, typically once in spring and once in autumn.
Ensure the downpipe is fully seated into the shoe. If leaking persists, apply a thin bead of silicone sealant to the joint.
Verify that the pipe is 65mm. If the fit remains loose, secure the shoe using the integrated fixing lugs with suitable wall screws.
Installation involves sliding the shoe over the base of your 65mm square downpipe. If the connection feels too loose or if you are in a high-traffic area where the shoe might be kicked, use a high-quality silicone sealant or solvent weld to fix the joint permanently. Always ensure the outlet is directed at least 15-30 degrees away from the building. To care for the product, simply rinse with a hose during your annual gutter clearing. If you notice any debris clogging the narrow part of the shoe, pull the shoe off the pipe, clear the obstruction, and push it back into place.
