Amerimax Home Products 3703019 Hinged Downspout Extension

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 3703019 is a 30-inch hinged downspout extension designed to direct roof runoff away from foundation walls and landscaping. Marketed as the Dripper Flipper, this extension features a hinged design that allows the outlet end to flip up when not needed and drop back down during rain events. Finished in brown, it is built for use with standard 2-inch by 3-inch metal or vinyl downspout elbows. Installation requires no special tools and suits a wide range of residential gutter systems. Sold in packages of 12 units, making it efficient for multi-unit service calls or tract-home installations.

This extension is suited for residential applications where water management at the base of a downspout is a priority. The hinged mechanism keeps the extension out of foot traffic paths when dry conditions make the extended position unnecessary, then automatically returns to the drainage position under the weight of water flow. It is commonly installed by roofing contractors, gutter specialists, and general contractors during new construction or gutter service work.

Installation Notes

Install on existing downspout elbows without cutting or special tooling in most standard applications. Ensure the elbow opening matches the 2-inch by 3-inch universal sizing before installation. No power tools or permits are typically required for downspout extension attachment, but local stormwater or grading ordinances may apply. Confirm the hinge pivot moves freely and the extension lays flat at the desired drainage angle after attachment.
