Rectangular outlets provide superior water flow capacity compared to round outlets of similar size. The 4x5" rectangular design moves more water volume than a 4" round outlet, making it ideal for areas with heavy rainfall or large roof areas. The rectangular shape also matches modern architectural aesthetics and provides better structural integrity with the B-flange design.

Yes, this outlet is specifically designed for 6" gutters with the B-flange sitting perfectly on the gutter bottom. The 4x5" opening provides optimal water flow while maintaining structural integrity. The B-flange design ensures a secure, leak-proof connection that won't compromise your gutter system's performance.

Mill finish aluminum provides the natural protective oxide layer that forms on aluminum, offering excellent corrosion resistance without paint that can chip, fade, or peel over time. Mill finish is also more cost-effective while maintaining professional appearance and durability. It can be painted later if desired, but the natural finish provides decades of maintenance-free performance.

Proper installation requires precise cutting of the 4x5" opening, quality gutter sealant application, and secure fastening through the B-flange.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper technique and warranty coverage.

This outlet is designed specifically for 4x5" rectangular downspouts. If you have round downspouts, you'll need adapters or new rectangular downspouts for proper connection.
