Tools & Supplies

Downspout Straps - minimum 2 per downspout

Sheet Metal Screws 1-1/4 inch long - socket attachment

Step 1

Fasten the downspout to the gutter elbow with sheet metal screws.

Step 2

Place a downspout strap near the top where it meets the elbow. Secure one end of the strap against the wall with a sheet metal screw. Tighten the screw just enough that the back of the screw head is flush on the siding.

Step 3

Bend the strap around the downspout and secure against the wall. Affix the Strap to the side of the downspout with a sheet metal screw.

Step 4

Repeat the process using another strap, 18 in. from the bottom of the downspout.

Step 5

Apply a dab of silicone caulk to each screw head to prevent water from leaking into the siding around the screw. Apply touch-up paint to cover any scratches.

CAUTION!

Working above grade is inherently dangerous, be sure that proper fall protection measures are in place. When working with power tools, gloves and eye protection are absolutely required.
