Cast iron front-discharge shoe without ears for 75mm x 75mm and 100mm x 100mm square downpipes, primer or black painted.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The Square Pipe Shoe Front Plain terminates a square downpipe at the foot of the run, directing water forward away from the wall into a gully or drain. It has no integral ears and is held by the pipe and fixings above.
The shoe keeps the moulded socket band and square section of the range, with a forward-facing outlet that throws water clear of the wall base and plinth.
Plain shoes suit plain pipe runs fixed with holderbats or earbands, and are used wherever the existing shoe has no ears or the wall base offers no sound fixing.
All fittings in our square range are cast iron to BS 460:2002, made to the same moulded profile so pipes and fittings line up neatly on the elevation. Every fitting is supplied either in primer, ready for painting on site, or in factory black. For listed buildings and conservation areas we also offer hand-applied linseed oil paint in heritage colours, which stays breathable and flexible and is straightforward to maintain. Stocked items are usually dispatched within 5 to 7 working days; allow around 6 to 7 weeks where a linseed oil finish is specified.
Square pipe sizes: 75mm x 75mm (3″ x 3″) and 100mm x 100mm (4″ x 4″).
Suitable for listed buildings, conservation areas and heritage restoration. For specification support or a project quotation, call 0333 987 4452.

Traditional Express (TX) is a cast iron push-fit soil system. Socketless pipes are joined with push-fit sockets and couplings using rubber seals, so there is no caulking on site. LCC uses caulked socket-and-spigot joints and a bitumen coating. TX is quicker to install and can be painted; LCC is the closer match to an original Victorian stack. Our Traditional Express vs LCC guide compares the two in detail.

This allows airflow to be regulated without removing or replacing the grille. The vent can be fully open, partially open, or fully closed depending on ventilation requirements.
