Abstract

See full text

A downspout extension has multiple connector segments at each opposing end of a flexible central portion to allow the connection of the downspout extension to substantially any conventional downspout configuration. The multiple connector segments at each respective end of the downspout extension are arranged in order of increasing size in terms of cross-sectional area from the outermost segment to the connector segment adjacent the central portion. Rectangular segment configurations are located at one end of the downspout extension to correspond to the majority of conventional downspout configurations, while the opposing end of the downspout extension is formed with circular connector segments which for connection to drainage pipes so that the downspout extension will direct rainwater from the downspout into the drainage pipe. Cut lines are formed adjacent to each of the connector segments to facilitate the removal of the outermost connector segments when the smaller connector segments are not needed.
