Removing a running outlet.

[ragj195]

Hi

I'm in process painting the house. Other identical houses on our street don't have the gutter down pipe in the middle of the house as shown in the pic. I spoke to a neighbor and they said they had theirs removed as there is a down pipe on the front of both the left and right side walls.

If I can remove it what's the best way of doing it? I'm so bad with heights. I have a ladder and stand off but the lower the better. Could I remove the down pipe and somehow cap the underside of the running outlet or do I have to remove the outlet completely?

identify the gutter make. Then buy 2 gutter unions and you will need a short piece of gutter. Remove the running outlet insert the unions and connect together..
