The Rectangular Pipe Anti-Splash Shoe Eared is a termination fitting designed to prevent water splashing back at the base of a cast iron rectangular downpipe run. The extended and angled shoe outlet disperses the flow at a lower velocity and wider angle than a standard shoe, reducing splash back onto the wall base and surrounding hard surface. The eared version incorporates integral ears for direct wall fixing.
Specified on listed and heritage buildings where the pipe discharges onto paving, stone flags, or other hard surfaces and splash management is a maintenance or conservation requirement. Available in the standard range of rectangular pipe sizes. Manufactured in cast iron to BS 460:2002. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

Yes — we strongly recommend painting all products before installation to ensure full coverage on every surface, which reduces long-term maintenance. Standard Premier Rainwater products are supplied in a grey metal primer with rust inhibitors and need two undercoats and one top coat (or one undercoat and two top coats) of a good quality exterior paint.
The standards for our cast iron gutters and pipes have remained remarkably constant for many years. The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its lifetime thus maintaining its effectiveness. Coupled with is durability and proper maintenance, we would expect our traditional cast iron rainwater products to last for over 50 years under normal conditions.
Hopper heads are supplied in red oxide primer ready for on-site painting, or pre-finished in black. A full range of Heritage Colours in traditional linseed oil paint is also available on request — please contact us for the swatch chart.
