and elbows are designed
with
one end smaller than the
other. The parts are joined by
fitting
the larger end of one over the smaller
end
of
the
other
and a screw is used to hold
them
together. The large end
should always face up. Two
elbows are used to connect the
gutter
to the
downspout. An extension piece may be needed . Cut and place be
tween
the
elbows to make the downspout fit flat on the wall'. Place an el
bow
(front or
side facing) at the
bottom
of the
downspout
to direct water away from the
house foundation.
