FAQs

What size downpipe does this shoe fit?

The FloPlast Black Square Gutter Shoe is designed to fit 65mm downpipes.

How do I install the gutter shoe?

Simply push the shoe onto the end of the downpipe. For added security, use silicone sealant or solvent weld.

Can I use this shoe with other brands of gutter systems?

While designed for FloPlast systems, it may be compatible with other brands that use the same 65mm downpipe size. Ensure proper fit before use.

How do I clean the gutter shoe?

Clean with mild soap and water. Remove any debris that accumulates to ensure proper water flow.

What materials is the gutter shoe made from?

The FloPlast Black Square Gutter Shoe is made from durable plastic designed to withstand weather conditions.

What if the shoe doesn't fit?

Ensure you have the correct downpipe size (65mm). If it still doesn't fit, check for any obstructions or debris in the downpipe.

Is the shoe UV resistant?

Yes, the shoe is designed to resist UV exposure, but some fading may occur over time.

Troubleshooting

Gutter shoe is loose or detaches easily.

Ensure the downpipe end is clean. Use silicone sealant or solvent weld to secure the connection, particularly in areas with high foot traffic.

Water is not flowing away from the building.

Check for blockages in the shoe or downpipe. Ensure the shoe is correctly angled to direct water flow away from the structure.

The shoe is leaking.

Check the connection points and reseal with silicone sealant or solvent weld if necessary.
