The Lindab Magestic 87mm Downpipe Shoe is an essential component for homeowners and contractors seeking a robust, long-lasting drainage solution, particularly in harsh coastal or marine environments. Designed to direct rainwater from the downpipe into a drain or gully, its primary benefit lies in its advanced magnesium zinc alloy coating that offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanised steel. While the shoe provides exceptional durability and self-repairing properties for minor scratches, users should ensure their existing 87mm downpipe system is compatible to maintain a watertight seal during installation.

No, this component is designed specifically for metal downpipe systems to ensure proper material compatibility and structural fit.
No, the Magestic finish is designed to be left uncoated, as its self-repairing properties work best on the bare metal surface.
Magestic steel includes magnesium in the coating, which significantly increases corrosion resistance and adds the self-repairing capability for surface scratches.
Measure the external diameter of your existing downpipe. This product is strictly for 87mm systems.
Small dents do not affect the protective properties of the alloy. If the coating is severely compromised through to the base metal, touch up with a Lindab-approved metal primer.
While optimized for coastal areas, it is an excellent choice for any environment where long-term durability and low maintenance are required.
Ensure the shoe is fully inserted into the downpipe and check that the downpipe was cut perfectly square. Use a bead of professional-grade gutter sealant if the fit is loose due to existing pipe deformation.
This is a normal part of the magnesium zinc alloy's maturation process and indicates that the protective patina is forming correctly. No action is required.
Installation of the Magestic Downpipe Shoe is straightforward and follows standard metal guttering procedures. Ensure your downpipe is cut cleanly at the appropriate angle before sliding the shoe into place. It is recommended to use standard Lindab downpipe brackets to secure the vertical run above the shoe to minimize stress on the connection.
Compatibility is strictly limited to 87mm diameter downpipe systems. When performing routine maintenance, clean the shoe by flushing it with water to remove debris that could lead to clogs. Avoid using harsh abrasive chemicals or steel brushes, as these can disturb the protective alloy coating. Periodic inspection of the joints is advised every 12 months, especially after extreme weather events.
