Optimize water flow with superior drainage design. Our 2x3" B-Style Downspout Elbows feature symmetrical construction that creates gentler turns and smoother water flow compared to A-Style alternatives. Manufactured from heavy-gauge .019" aluminum and finished with the same baked-on enamel as our Gutters and Downspouts, these Elbows deliver maximum flow efficiency while positioning Downspouts optimally away from building structures for enhanced performance.
2×3" B-Style Elbow Key Features
-
Symmetrical flow design
Equal openings on both ends create gentler turns that maximize water flow velocity and reduce turbulence for superior drainage performance
-
Optimal positioning
B-Style configuration positions Downspouts further from the house, providing better clearance for landscaping and building maintenance access
-
Durable .019" Aluminum
Corrosion-resistant aluminum with reinforcing corrugations resists rust, impact, and weathering while maintaining smooth interior flow paths
-
Professional connections
Precision-formed joints create secure, leak-resistant connections; fasten with Screws/Rivets and coordinate with 20+ color-matched finishes

Installation & Maintenance Tips
This installation information is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. Always follow local building codes, safety practices, and professional methods. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.
Installation
- Measure & fit: Test-fit Elbows dry; mark cut lines on Downspout; allow 1-2" overlap for secure connections.
- Cut & crimp: Cut Downspout with tin snips; crimp upper piece to fit inside lower connection for proper water flow direction.
- Secure joints: Apply Gutter Sealant to inside of connections; fasten with 1/4" Hex Screws or Pop Rivets on front and back.
- Position correctly: Orient B-side (wide opening) to maintain optimal distance from house; secure to structure with Straps every 6-8 feet.
- Check alignment: Ensure smooth water flow path with no reverse slopes; verify adequate clearance from siding and landscaping features.
Maintenance
- Inspect connections: Check for loose fasteners and leaking joints seasonally; retighten screws as needed.
- Clear blockages: Remove debris from Elbow bends during regular gutter cleaning; use plumber's snake for stubborn clogs.
- Monitor wear: Watch for corrosion at joints; reseal with Gutter Sealant when caulk cracks or shrinks.

Compare Styles & Materials
B-Style vs A-Style Elbows
B-Style Elbows: Symmetrical with equal openings, providing gentler turns and superior flow while positioning downspouts further from the house for better clearance.
A-Style Elbows: Wider opening on one side and narrower on the other, creating more pronounced bends that direct water closer to walls but may restrict flow.
Best Choice: Use 2x3 B-Style Elbows when you prioritize maximum water flow efficiency, need clearance from building structures, or want gentler drainage transitions. Choose A-Style Elbows when space constraints require positioning downspouts closer to walls, even if it means some flow restriction.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.
What's the main advantage of B-Style over A-Style elbows?
B-Style elbows provide superior water flow due to their symmetrical design with equal openings, creating gentler turns that reduce turbulence. They also position Downspouts further from the house, providing better clearance for maintenance and landscaping.
How many Elbows do I need for a standard installation?
Most installations use a standard two-Elbow configuration—one Elbow at the Gutter Outlet and another to direct flow downward. B-Style Elbows' superior flow characteristics may allow for more complex configurations without flow restriction.
Can you customize B-Style Elbows for unusual angles?
Yes, our fabrication team can adjust Elbow angles, modify configurations, or create custom multi-hit setups to navigate obstacles while maintaining the symmetrical flow advantages of B-Style design.
What's the proper way to connect B-Style Elbows to Downspouts?
Connect B-Style Elbows the same way as A-Style—crimp the upper Downspout piece to fit inside the lower connection. The key difference is maintaining the symmetrical orientation for optimal flow performance.
How do I maintain optimal water flow through B-Style connections?
The symmetrical design of B-Style Elbows naturally promotes smooth flow. Ensure all connections slope downward, keep joints properly sealed, and clear debris regularly. The equal openings make debris passage easier than with A-Style alternatives.
