Question:

Enlarge gutter opening for 6 PVC downspouts?

for 4quot; aluminum gutters, i want to enlarge the opening at the downspout to install new 6quot; pvc downspouts (due to leaf clog)tin snips? and how to transition to the larger pvc at the connection? thanks.

Answer:

Not sure if there is a transition piece for that but you might want to look for aluminum over-sized downspoutsThe normal size is 3x4, and there is a 4X5 size made that you can get all the fittings and straps for and may do what you needGood luck with the projectEdit; if my client insisted on what you want I would leave a small section of downspout and slip the pvc pipe up around the stubout and use some clamp style hangers to secure the pipe to the buildingThese would (imo) help to carry out the industrial look such large pipe and fittings will haveTrying to hook up a 6 i.dpipe to something smalller may not be as asthetically pleasing as you think, but to each thier ownGood luck with the project.
