Hello all,

Hopefully this will be a simple one! I'm trying to fix this 68mm round guttering (see pic) but i'm a complete novice and rubbish with angles. Currently the downpipe is just loosely pushed into the gutter fitting above and resting on the stone below. I'm presuming it should be fixed to the wall go into the drain hole but none of the other sections seem to be there.

I know i'll probably have to buy some offset angled fittings but I can't quite figure out which ones! Can anyone help out here please? Also, will I need to solvent weld the fittings together or do they fit in tightly/kept held together by the fact that the pipe will be clipped to the wall?

Thank you in anticipation.

St5andard off sets (not 90's) will do. Buy a pair and 3 d/p clips. You will need a short vertical piece straight out of the running outlet and you'll need to mock up your downspout or at least a short piece with say a couple of clips attached, so that you can measure your swan neck.

Fiddly but easy once you have done the first.
 
You want a pair 135 degree elbows. From the top it'll be a short length straight down, elbow, short length towards wall at 45 degrees, elbow, longer length straight down to drain.

They can be solvent welded but its not really needed if you have brackets on the longer length holding it to the wall.

Heat from the sun can cause downpipes to creap apart at joints , usually joints are too loose for solvent weld to be effective , I use a single self tapper which allows for future adjustment without replacement .
