Hiya,
My front portch has guttering either side of the pitch. On one side it goes down into the ground which is fine, but on the otherside it butts up against the gas meter cover as there is not enough space between the wall and the edge of the cover to run all the way down.
So I was thinking of putting some sort of adapter on it that would allow me to take a standard piece of 20 or 25mm conduit all the way down to the ground. The length of this conduit would be about 1.5m I would say, with the normal downpipe length being about 2m.
The fun begins as it would need to be an offset adapter as if the exit hole was in the middle, the conduit would still hit the meter cover!
Normally you would put bends on the downpipe to take it around the meter cover, but then this would interfere with opening the inspection hole for readings, maintenance etc, unless I take it far enough but as it's the front of the house I'd like to avoid this as it would look well ugly.
