Coninx uPVC Gutter Shoe Bend, 100mm Rainwater Downpipe Fitting

Coninx Gutter Shoe Bend

The Coninx Gutter Shoe Bend serves as the critical terminal point for residential and commercial rainwater downpipe systems. This heavy-duty uPVC component manages the final discharge of water away from building foundations to prevent soil erosion and structural dampness. It integrates seamlessly with standard 100mm downpipe profiles used in modern construction.

Built for the Job

This discharge fitting is engineered for high-volume water evacuation during heavy tropical downpours. By directing water at a specific angle at the base of the stack, the shoe component ensures that runoff does not pool against the external wall. Site supervisors and plumbers typically install this at the bottom of every vertical downpipe run to transition water into a surface drain or onto a splash block. The material handles high-velocity flow without the rattling or vibration often associated with thinner, lightweight alternatives.

• Final discharge point for vertical rainwater stacks on residential houses.

• Redirection of stormwater into peripheral drainage channels or soakaways.

• Retrofitting existing uPVC gutter systems to improve foundation protection.

Product Highlights

UV-Stabilized uPVC Build

The unplasticized polyvinyl chloride construction contains UV inhibitors to prevent brittleness and discoloration.

High-Flow Internal Bore

• Smooth internal walls reduce friction for faster drainage
• Minimal internal ridges prevent debris accumulation

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 100mm uPVC Downpipe Shoe Outlet

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure the rainwater outlet is positioned at least 50mm above the ground level or splash block to allow for maximum hydraulic efficiency.

• This uPVC bend is designed for a friction fit but can be secured with solvent cement if a permanent, leak-proof bond is required for high-pressure zones.

• Clean the female socket and the male downpipe end thoroughly before assembly to remove any site dust or grit that might compromise the seal.

• Check local building regulations regarding the discharge of stormwater into public sewer systems versus dedicated soakage pits.
