Builders Question - Help Please

Folks

Does anybody know if you can get Square Gutter Down-pipe fittings that allow you to swivel the pipe ?

I had to have some storm drains moved about a foot from the previous corners of the house to allow for some brickwork cladding to be built. This now means that the existing guttering would no longer fit on the vertical down the corners of the house.

I do not want to start replacing the existing guttering if I can simply tweek the downpipes by having a swivel where it joins the gutter.

Do you mean something like this to offset to one side...

 

[brucemillar]

^

That but with a swivel in the middle ;^)

Need a picture. Can't work out what you are after, unless you are saying the new drain is around the corner from the existing downpipe?

If I understand correctly the corners have moved out in both directions, ie out from the wall and then to the left/right as well so you need a diagonal.

Using the above, bring the angled section in to the wall so it lines up in one axis, then use another one "sideways" so it lines up on the other.

If that made any sense!

You could go from square to round on a fitting then angle it every-which-way using a round 45 then go back to square? Or use two round 45's to form a rotating elbow then back to square. You might have to use silicone to seal it all but it gives you rotational movement. That's if I'm understanding you correctly.

Not easy to explain, so my apologies. The existing drain has been moved about 1 foot left (then the same on the other side of the house) So my existing down pipe is now vertical but short of the drain. I figured if I could get the angle at the roof overhang it would look like it was meant to be that way. I dont want to move the/replace the existing guttering. So by being able to add a swivel I could have angled the down pipe where it turns under the roof to met the corner of the house.

Now I am thinking that hoppers may give that movement and look like they were always there. Hadn't thought of that.

Drain

Seen from the front of the house this what it looks like. The down pipe angles in under the roof, runs down the wall, the angles out over the brick work, then down into the drain. Except the drain has moved forward by about a foot.

Come on Bruce - get the camera out - we like photo based info requests.

Two of what David showed in post #2 linked back-to-back should move the pipe sideways just about right.

Interesting postbox. Or is that on Alices property?

 

[brucemillar]

Druk, David

Thank you. I was trying to avoid it looking like it is made up of angle joints by moving it at the roof line then coming vertically down the wall.

The Post Box matches the 1936 Red Phone Box. A strange fetish that must point to something I guess.

Don't angle it at the roof line, angle it where the drain is so you won't even notice.

That doesn't look like a gully Bruce - more like an underground soil fitting.

It's going to be hard to "grill off" to keep the crud out, with it being partially obscured by the brickwork.

This might do the trick it should be available in most colours

#16 ^ That's what I thought too. You could enter two or so inches of pipe into the hole then caulk it with rope and capped with cement as they did in the good-ol-days.

 

[Harrythedog]

A stop end outlet as opposed to the running outlet on the gutter might do the trick but you'd need to measure it first to be sure

We're overthinking this.

Bruce just use two of the angles already posted...connected to the existing plate (suitably trimmed to fit against the house) at the end of the down spout.
