Floplast Square 65mm Shoe & Fixing Lugs
The Floplast Square 65mm Shoe & Fixing Lugs is designed to provide a neat and effective finish to the bottom of a 65mm square downpipe where it is not connected directly into a drainage pipe or gully. It helps direct rainwater safely away from the building’s foundations, reducing splashback and minimising the risk of damp or erosion at ground level.
Manufactured by FloPlast, this downpipe shoe is made from durable PVC-u for long-lasting performance in all weather conditions. Finished in black for a clean, professional appearance, it complements most square guttering systems and suits both modern and traditional properties.
Installation is quick and straightforward thanks to its simple push-fit connection. The shoe should be angled so that the open end faces away from the building, ensuring rainwater is directed safely outward. In areas where there may be pedestrian traffic close to the fitting, it can be secured with silicone sealant or solvent weld for additional stability. However, the push-fit option is recommended as it allows for easy removal if cleaning or maintenance is required.
Measuring 75mm (W) x 90mm (L) x 155mm (D) and weighing 0.185kg, this component is manufactured to BS EN 1462 standards and comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee for added peace of mind.

FAQs
What is a downpipe shoe used for?
A downpipe shoe is fitted to the bottom of a downpipe when it is not connected into a drain or gully. It directs rainwater away from the building to help protect foundations and surrounding surfaces.
Does this shoe need to be glued in place?
No, it is designed as a push-fit fitting for easy installation and removal. If the area is exposed to foot traffic or movement, you may choose to secure it with silicone sealant or solvent weld for extra stability.
How should the shoe be positioned?
The shoe should be angled so that the open end faces away from the building. This ensures rainwater flows outward and reduces the risk of splashback against walls.
