Details
About this piece
A shoe finishes the bottom of the downspout and turns the water away from the wall onto a splash block or paving. Its flared mouth slows the water so it does not dig out the ground below.
We fabricate shoes in 16 oz or 20 oz copper in each round and rectangular downspout size, so they slide onto the pipe and weather with it.

Common questions
As a rule of thumb, 5 inch gutter takes a 2x3 rectangular or 3 inch round downspout, and 6 inch gutter takes a 3x4 rectangular or 4 inch round downspout. Large roof areas may need the bigger size or more downspouts.
Elbows are numbered 0 to 4 by angle: number 0 is 30 degrees, 1 is 45, 2 is 60, 3 is 75 and 4 is 90. The 75 degree number 3 is the standard elbow for most downspouts.
As a starting point, plan one downspout for every 30 to 40 feet of gutter, and one at each end of runs that slope both ways. Steep or large roofs need more. This is general guidance, not an engineering calculation.
Corrugated downspout has ribs pressed into the wall, which make the pipe stiffer and give it a traditional look. Smooth downspout has clean, plain faces. Both carry the same water for the same size.
