Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast 68mm Round Downpipe Shoe is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, low-maintenance termination point for rainwater drainage systems. It provides a secure, weather-resistant connection that directs water away from building foundations; however, users should ensure they are pairing it exclusively with 68mm round downpipe systems for a perfect fit. This component is engineered for durability and longevity, making it an essential piece for both residential new builds and system repairs.

FAQs

Does this shoe fit square downpipes?

No, this product is specifically designed for 68mm round downpipes only.

Can I paint this shoe a different color?

While the finish is black, the material can generally be painted if you use an appropriate plastic primer and exterior-grade paint.

Are fixings included?

The product features integrated lugs for fixing, but you should use screws appropriate for your specific wall material (e.g., masonry or timber).

Is this suitable for commercial buildings?

Yes, its durable construction makes it suitable for both residential and light commercial applications.

What is the primary function of the shoe?

It acts as a directional outlet to divert rainwater away from the building base into a gully or drain.

Troubleshooting

Loose fit on existing pipe

Ensure the downpipe is not deformed and is a true 68mm round profile. If the pipe is old, you may need a small amount of silicone sealant for a tighter fit.

Difficulty aligning lugs with wall

Use a spirit level when marking your drill holes to ensure the shoe sits vertically, preventing stress on the downpipe connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability material prevents cracking and brittleness
  • Easy installation via integrated fixing lugs
  • Provides a secure and stable finish for downpipe runs
  • Weather-resistant for long-term outdoor performance
  • Complements a wide range of property styles with its neutral black finish

Cons

  • Specific to 68mm round systems only
  • Requires proper alignment for optimal water flow
  • May require additional wall plugs or screws based on surface type

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your existing downpipe is clean and free of debris. Slide the shoe onto the end of the 68mm pipe; if the pipe is secure, mark the lug positions on the wall using a pencil. Use appropriate wall fixings depending on your substrate (brick, stone, or wood) and screw the unit into place through the lugs. For maintenance, periodically clear the mouth of the shoe to ensure that leaves or sediment do not clog the flow. The material is low-maintenance and can be cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary, requiring no painting or chemical treatments to maintain its weather resistance.
