Rainflo Round Shoe Downpipes

Round shoe downpipes are a smart edition to any rainwater system. These fittings can help direct water away from your foundation, reducing the risk of erosion and damp problems. Their curved design improves flow and reduces splash-back, especially during heavy rain.

S-necks and Downpipe Y-pieces

S-necks are used to connect gutters to vertical downpipes when there is an overhang or offset. They’re ideal for adjusting height or clearing obstacles. Y-pieces allow for the joining of two downpipes into a single line, perfect for combining roof sections or optimizing water flow into tanks or drainage.

Gutter Brackets

Sturdy gutter brackets are essential for supporting your gutters, especially during heavy rain or storms. Look for brackets designed for your gutter profile, and install them at regular intervals, to prevent sagging or overflow.

When installing or upgrading, always choose high-quality components to ensure long-lasting performance and less maintenance.
