FlipSpout Aluminum Flip-Up Downspout Extension - Damascus, Oregon:

FlipSpout is a premium flip-up corrugated aluminum downspout extension (also known as a hinged drain extender, flip-up elbow extension, or swing-away downspout diverter) designed to move water farther away from foundations while getting out of the way when needed most. Unlike bulky plastic flex extensions that kink, fade, and look temporary, FlipSpout is built from durable painted aluminum to match professional gutter systems and maintain curb appeal. The riveted pivot hinge at the elbow allows the straight section to flip up for mowing, trimming, and yard work without disconnecting or disturbing the downspout system. Available in 18-inch and 30-inch lengths (18" and 30"), A-style (front crimp) and B-style (back crimp) configurations, and a wide range of gutter-matched colors to fit any drainage layout. GutterAll offers FlipSpout for contractors specifying premium drainage components and property owners seeking practical drainage improvement that installs like a standard elbow and extension, looks like part of the original system, and provides genuine foundation protection.

The Problem with Standard Downspout Extensions

Every property owner knows the frustration: standard downspout extensions sit right in the mowing path. The mower must stop, the extension must be disconnected, the area must be mowed around, then reconnected - or worse, the extension gets hit with the mower, cracking plastic or denting aluminum. Plastic flex extensions look cheap, kink over time, fade in sunlight, and scream "temporary fix." Rigid aluminum extensions get bent, stepped on, or knocked loose. And if the extension is not in place, water dumps right at the foundation - exactly where it should not go. FlipSpout solves all of these problems with one elegant solution: a premium aluminum extension that flips up out of the way, then flips back down to protect the foundation.

Flip-Up Hinge Design - Mow Without Disconnecting:

The FlipSpout riveted pivot hinge is the key innovation that makes this extension so practical. When property owners need to mow, trim, edge, or move equipment through the yard, the straight extension section simply flips upward at the hinge - it pivots up and out of the way without disconnecting from the downspout. No tools required, no screws to remove, no pieces to lose or forget to reinstall. When yard work is complete, flip it back down and it immediately directs water away from the foundation again. This simple mechanism eliminates the most common complaint about downspout extensions: they are always in the way. With FlipSpout, drainage and lawn care finally work together instead of fighting each other. GutterAll stocks FlipSpout in multiple configurations at the Damascus, Oregon location for immediate pickup.

Premium Corrugated Aluminum - Professional Appearance:

FlipSpout is built from durable painted aluminum with the same corrugated profile used in professional gutter systems. Unlike plastic flex extensions that look cheap, kink, crack, and fade within a season or two, FlipSpout maintains appearance and function for years. The corrugated design mirrors standard downspout elbows for a clean, integrated look that does not scream "add-on." Available in a wide range of gutter-matched colors, FlipSpout blends seamlessly with existing drainage systems - most people will not even notice it is an extension until they see it flip up. For contractors, this professional appearance means satisfied customers who appreciate attention to detail. For property owners, it means curb appeal that does not suffer just because proper drainage is needed. The factory-applied painted finish resists fading, chipping, and corrosion for long-lasting performance.

Foundation Protection - Direct Water Where It Belongs:

The primary job of any downspout extension is moving water away from the foundation - and FlipSpout excels at this essential function. Available in 18-inch and 30-inch lengths (18" and 30"), FlipSpout extends the drainage path to reduce pooling and erosion near the foundation, keeps grade and landscaping drier, and cuts down on muddy spots where runoff usually collects. Water damage to foundations is one of the most expensive repairs property owners face, and proper drainage is the first line of defense. The 30-inch length is particularly effective for moving water past problem areas, flower beds, or walkways. By keeping water moving away from the structure, FlipSpout helps prevent basement moisture, crawlspace dampness, foundation settling, and landscape erosion. GutterAll recommends the 30-inch length for most applications because it provides maximum foundation protection.

A-Style vs. B-Style - Fits Any Downspout Orientation:

FlipSpout is available in both A-style (front crimp) and B-style (back crimp) configurations to match existing downspout orientation. The difference refers to which side of the elbow has the crimped (smaller) end that slides into the downspout. A-style has the crimp on the front face of the elbow; B-style has the crimp on the back. This matters because downspouts can be oriented with the wider face toward the wall or away from it, depending on how they were installed. By offering both styles, FlipSpout ensures a proper fit regardless of existing downspout configuration. Property owners unsure which style is needed can measure the downspout and note which direction the seam faces - or contact GutterAll at the Damascus, Oregon location and staff will help determine the correct configuration.

18-Inch vs. 30-Inch Length - Choosing the Right Extension:

FlipSpout is available in two lengths: 18 inches (18") and 30 inches (30"). The 18-inch length is suitable for standard drainage extension needs, tight spaces near walkways, compact yard areas, and situations where a lower profile when flipped is preferred. The 30-inch length provides extended drainage reach, maximum foundation protection, clearance past flower beds and landscaping, and better performance for problem drainage areas. GutterAll recommends the 30-inch length for most applications because it provides more drainage distance for better foundation protection and can clear flower beds, landscaping, and walkways. The 18-inch length should be chosen when space is limited or basic extension beyond the standard elbow is sufficient.

Gutter-Matched Colors - Seamless Integration:

FlipSpout is available in a wide range of gutter-matched colors to blend seamlessly with existing gutter and downspout systems. Common colors include white, brown, black, clay, almond, and other standard gutter colors. The factory-applied painted finish is designed to match the colors used by major gutter manufacturers, ensuring the FlipSpout looks like it was installed as part of the original system rather than added later. For contractors, color matching is essential for maintaining the professional appearance customers expect. For property owners, it means the drainage improvement does not detract from curb appeal. Contact GutterAll at (503) 850-6784 to confirm color availability or discuss custom color options for specific projects.

18-Inch vs. 30-Inch Length - Selection Guide:

GutterAll Recommendation: The 30-inch length is most popular because it provides more drainage distance for better foundation protection and can clear flower beds, landscaping, and walkways. Choose the 18-inch length when space is limited or basic extension beyond the standard elbow is sufficient.

A-Style vs. B-Style - Understanding Downspout Orientation:

How to Determine: Look at the existing downspout elbow at the bottom of the downspout run. Note which direction the seam faces and match the FlipSpout style accordingly. Contact GutterAll at (503) 850-6784 for assistance determining the correct configuration.

Who Uses FlipSpout Downspout Extensions?

Common Applications:

Installation Guide - Contractors and Property Owners:

1. Remove Existing Elbow: Disconnect the existing bottom elbow from the downspout. Remove any screws securing the elbow to the downspout and gently pull the elbow away from the downspout outlet.
2. Verify Style Compatibility: Confirm the FlipSpout style (A-style or B-style) matches the existing downspout orientation. The crimped end should slide into the downspout opening smoothly.
3. Position FlipSpout Elbow: Insert the crimped end of the FlipSpout elbow into the bottom of the downspout. Ensure the elbow is oriented so the extension will point away from the foundation when flipped down.
4. Secure Elbow Connection: Use sheet metal screws (2-3 screws recommended) to secure the FlipSpout elbow to the downspout. Drill pilot holes if needed to prevent aluminum cracking.
5. Test Hinge Operation: Flip the extension section up and down several times to verify smooth hinge operation. The extension should pivot freely without binding or excessive resistance.
6. Verify Extension Angle: With the extension flipped down, verify it directs water away from the foundation at an appropriate angle. Adjust elbow rotation if needed before final tightening.
7. Check Ground Clearance: Ensure the extension clears the ground when flipped down. The end should rest on or slightly above grade to direct water without digging into soil.
8. Test Drainage Flow: Run water through the gutter system from a garden hose to verify proper flow through the FlipSpout and confirm all connections are secure without leaks.

Installation Note: Use sheet metal screws appropriate for aluminum gutter components. Stainless steel or zinc-plated screws are recommended. Do not over-tighten screws as this can crack the aluminum. GutterAll carries compatible screws and installation supplies at the Damascus, Oregon location.
