The Lindab 87mm Steel Downpipe Shoe is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, sustainable solution to direct rainwater from a downpipe into ground-level drainage systems. Built from galvanized steel with a self-healing zinc coating, this component provides an eco-friendly and maintenance-free alternative to traditional plastic or aluminium fittings. While it offers superior structural integrity and a 70-year life expectancy, users should ensure their existing downpipe system is compatible with the 87mm diameter specification before installation.

This component is designed specifically for the Lindab Rainline steel system; it may not fit plastic pipes correctly due to variances in manufacturing tolerances.
No. The 275g/m² zinc coating is self-healing, meaning it migrates to cover small scratches and exposed edges to prevent rust from forming.
The coating is backed by a 15-year guarantee, with an overall material life expectancy of up to 70 years.
While the finish is designed to be maintenance-free, it can be painted if you wish to change the building's aesthetic; use a metal-compatible primer first.
Steel has significantly lower thermal movement compared to plastic, meaning it will stay stable and maintain its shape during temperature extremes.
Verify that the shoe is fully seated onto the downpipe and that the connection is square; if it remains loose, check for debris obstructing the seal.
This is part of the natural patina process of the zinc coating; it does not indicate rust and will continue to protect the steel effectively.
Installation of the 87mm shoe is designed to be manual and requires no specialized tools; the components are engineered to slide together for a secure fit within the Lindab Rainline system. Ensure that the receiving gully is properly cleared of debris before attaching the shoe to prevent blockages. For compatibility, this unit is specifically sized for 87mm diameter systems; verify your downpipe dimensions prior to purchase to ensure a snug, leak-proof connection. Maintenance is minimal: simply inspect the unit annually for any trapped leaves or organic debris that could impede flow. The galvanized coating is designed to withstand the elements without requiring painting or specialized protective sprays, though it can be cleaned with water and a soft cloth if aesthetic touch-ups are desired.
