Description
2 x 3 Aluminum Downspout – 10 Foot Length
The 2 x 3 aluminum downspout is a standard rainwater management component designed to efficiently move water from gutters to grade or drainage systems. Commonly used in residential and light commercial applications, this downspout size balances effective water flow with a clean, low-profile appearance that integrates well with most gutter systems.
Manufactured from roll-formed aluminum, this downspout offers corrosion resistance and long-term durability in a wide range of exterior environments. Aluminum construction makes it lightweight for easier handling during fabrication and jobsite staging, while still providing the rigidity contractors expect for straight runs and secure fastening. The 10-foot length reduces the number of seams required, helping maintain consistent appearance across vertical runs.
Material and Construction
This downspout is formed from aluminum, a preferred material for exterior water management due to its resistance to rust and ability to hold factory-applied finishes. Aluminum downspouts are compatible with standard elbows, straps, and accessories used in most gutter systems, making them a practical choice for new construction and remodel projects.
Key material characteristics include:
-
Lightweight aluminum construction for efficient handling
-
Corrosion-resistant performance suitable for long-term exterior use
-
Smooth formed profile designed for consistent water flow
Primary Applications
The 2 x 3 aluminum downspout is widely used on homes, multifamily buildings, and small commercial structures where moderate roof runoff volumes are expected. It pairs well with 5″ K-style gutter systems and similar residential gutter profiles.
Common uses include:
-
Vertical gutter drainage on residential homes
-
Replacement downspouts for existing aluminum gutter systems
-
New construction projects requiring standard gutter components
-
Remodels and exterior upgrades where appearance consistency matters
Performance Benefits
Properly sized downspouts play a critical role in protecting siding, foundations, and landscaping by directing water away from the structure. The 2 x 3 profile provides dependable flow capacity for most residential roof areas without adding unnecessary bulk to the exterior.

Efficient water movement from gutter to discharge point

Clean, low-profile appearance on finished exteriors
