Angelheart Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I am having galvanised guttering and down pipes. I have cladding on the top half and the bottom half is rendered. This means the downpipe is further away from the wall than the top half. I need some sort of spacers behind the downpipe brackets. I have measured and it is approx 2”. Ideally I would like it to match in with the material of the downpipe which is steel. I’ve had a look and can’t really find anything suitable. Maybe they have another name I can look for or perhaps there is an alternative I can use. I prob only need 8 spacers altogether. Thanks in advance.

Bonner Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 You are unlikely to find anything made for the job. I would use some oak blocks cut to the size needed, will quickly weather silver grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Some down pipe brackets are bendable to suit the distance to wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 You will need to find the right diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 What's the thread between the hoop and the rod? For example Google "M6 stainless Steel standoff" finds hexagonal standoff. You can find them in other materials but not all are rated for outdoor use. Most are intended for mounting things like PCB. I would also ask the supplier of the guttering. I'm sure they must have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelheart Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 This is not a bad shout actually @Temp. I have found some that would work but it’s a box of 50, will dig around and see if I can buy them singularly anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
