The Basic Components of Rain Gutters
Here is a list of the basic materials used for rain gutter installation:
- Spikes and Ferrules: These attach the rain gutters to your house. The spikes are driven through both the ferrules and the rims of the rain gutters to hold them in place.
- Slip Connectors: These pieces connect two lengths of rain gutter. Some rain gutters need to be sealed with caulk at this connecting point, others do not.
- Strap Hangers: These provide the support for the rain gutters. Some hangers wrap completely around rain gutters while other models are attached under roofing material and the outside edge of the rain gutters.
- Miters: These pieces allow turns in rain gutter systems. Miters are available for both inside and outside turns.
- End Pieces: These are simple end pieces for the end of a gutter run. They come with and without gutter downspouts.
- Downspouts: These pieces drain the water out of the gutter and guide it to the desired location. Downspouts attach to rain gutters at the outlets in end pieces.
- Conductor Pipe Band or Clincher: These strap pieces hold downspouts securely against the wall of the house.
- Square Shoe: These devices are used at the bottom of downspouts to guide the water onto a splash block at the end of the downspout.
