Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the existing or new downpipe is clean and free of debris. The shoe typically slides onto the bottom of the 65mm square downpipe, often secured with appropriate PVCu solvent cement or mechanical fixings as per Polypipe's installation guidelines. Ensure a snug fit to prevent water ingress.
Compatibility: This shoe is exclusively designed for Polypipe 65mm square downpipe systems. It may not be compatible with round downpipes or square downpipes of different dimensions. Always verify the profile and size match your existing or planned system.
Care: Clean the downpipe shoe periodically with a soft brush and mild detergent to remove dirt, leaves, and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the PVCu. Inspect regularly for any signs of damage or wear.
