Connecting More Than One Gutter Pipes

Other than the gutter itself it requires little more than a downspout and an elbow or two.

Connecting more than one gutter pipes.

Prior to connecting these two drains the water from the right gutter drain would create a massive puddle on the ground. But the smell one gets from the gutter down pipe will drive you mad. If venting soil stack it need to terminate 1 m above any opening. Step 2 the first gutter piece and maybe the second and even a third piece will likely be full 10 ft.

Lengths but the last piece in the run will need to be cut with a hacksaw or tinsnips. As you can see it s not connected to the foundation drain. Its trapped at present but this would be removed if soil was to be connected. No adhesive or sealant is needed to make the joint but we recommend that you should always support any downpipe with a pipe clip within 200mm of the outlet.

The one on the right is a newer down spout from the garage. Step 2 insert a 3 4 inch sheet metal screw through the front of the gutter outlet using a screwdriver so that it penetrates the elbow and holds it in place. You wont be the first. Insert an elbow up one inch into the bottom of the funnel shaped opening on the gutter which is called a gutter outlet.

To this total length add 4 more inches to the length this is for an overlap at the interior joined seam it will make the gutter stronger in that area. Simple pipe connections with sewer drain pipe fittings. As with all of our gutter systems the downpipe pushes directly onto the bottom of the running outlet or stopend outlet no other connector is required.
