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 flat surfaces work with #6 Drive?

#6 Drives work with wood siding, vinyl siding, wood columns, and other flat building surfaces where surface-mounted attachment is suitable for Downspout installation.

What finish should I choose for my application?

Choose White or Brown finish to coordinate with your building trim colors. Mill Finish provides natural steel appearance when color coordination is not a priority.

What other components do I need with the #6 Drive?

You need a corresponding Rack and Key to complete the 3-piece assembly system. The #6 Drive alone will not provide a complete attachment solution.

Can #6 Drives work with both K-Style and Half Round Systems?

Yes, #6 Drives work with both Rectangular (2x3" and 3x4") for K-Style Systems, and Round Downspouts for Half Round Systems. The attachment method focuses on securing to the flat surface rather than the specific Gutter profile or size.

What fasteners work best for #6 Drive installation?

Use appropriate fasteners for your specific surface material. The type and size of fasteners will depend on whether you're mounting to wood siding, vinyl siding, or other flat surfaces.
