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
  1. Measure & fit: Test-fit Elbows dry; mark cut lines on downspout; allow 1-2" overlap for secure connections.
  2. Cut & crimp: Cut Downspout with tin snips; crimp upper piece to fit inside lower connection for proper water flow direction.
  3. Secure joints: Apply Gutter Sealant to inside of connections; fasten with 1/4" Hex Screws or Pop Rivets on front and back.
  4. Position correctly: Orient A-side (wide opening) toward house; maintain downward slope; secure to house with Straps every 6-8 feet.
  5. Check alignment: Ensure smooth water flow path; verify no reverse slopes or binding against siding.

Maintenance
  1. Inspect connections: Check for loose fasteners and leaking joints seasonally; retighten screws as needed.
  2. Clear blockages: Remove debris from Elbow bends during regular gutter cleaning; use plumber's snake for stubborn clogs.
  3. Monitor wear: Watch for corrosion at joints; reseal with Gutter Sealant when caulk cracks or shrinks.

Compare Styles & Materials

3x4" A-Style Elbows vs Other Options

A-Style vs B-Style Elbows
  • A-Style Elbows: Wider opening on one side and narrower on the other, creating a more pronounced bend that directs water closer to walls.
  • B-Style Elbows: Symmetrical with equal openings, providing gentler turns and better flow but positioning downspouts further from the house.
3x4" vs 2x3" Downspout Systems
  • 3x4" System: 40% more water capacity, ideal for 6" gutters, large roof areas, heavy rainfall regions, or commercial applications.
  • 2x3" System: Standard residential choice for 5" gutters, typical home applications, and moderate water flow requirements.

Best Choice: Use 3x4" A-Style Elbows when you have 6" Gutter Systems, large roof areas, or need maximum water handling capacity. Choose 2x3" A-Style Elbows for standard 5" residential Gutter Systems with typical water flow needs.

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.

How many Elbows do I need for a typical installation?

Most installations use a standard two-Elbow configuration—one elbow at the Gutter Outlet to direct water toward the wall, and another to turn the flow downward. However, obstacles like deep Soffits or brick ledges may require additional Elbows or custom configurations.

Can you customize Elbows for unusual installation challenges?

Yes, our fabrication team can adjust Elbow angles, change the offset distance, or create multi-hit configurations to navigate around HVAC lines, window wells, or protruding Fascia. Simply provide your measurements for a custom solution.

What's the proper way to connect A-Style Elbows to Downspouts?

The upper Downspout piece should be crimped to fit inside the lower connection, with the A-Style's wide opening oriented toward the house. Seal joints with Gutter Sealant and secure with Screws or Rivets on both sides.

How do I maintain proper water flow through multiple Elbows?

Ensure all connections slope downward with no reverse angles, keep joints sealed to prevent leaks, and clear debris regularly since multiple bends can trap leaves and create blockages more easily than straight runs.

What size fasteners should I use to secure A-Style Elbows?

Use 1/4" Hex Screws or Pop Rivets to secure Elbow joints. Install fasteners on both the front and back of each connection for maximum holding power and to prevent separation under water pressure or wind stress.
