Marcus on abuse. This kit redirects water away from the foundation when the primary downspout is blocked. It is designed specifically for 5-inch corner gutters.
When a heavy storm hits and your primary downspout is clogged with debris, water pools at the foundation. This 5-inch downspout diverter kit provides a secondary path to keep that water moving away from your home's base.
Look at the product photo to verify the 5-inch diameter fit and the corner configuration. Check the visual weight and material finish to ensure it can handle the volume without rusting or failing under pressure.

This white rainwater collection system is a gutter downspout diverter kit intended for outdoor garden and lawn irrigation, serving as a backup when the main drain is obstructed.
