    Hi

    This is probably very simple, but I just can't think of the obvious way.

    Bay window guttering with a 22mm bit of pipe that lets water fall from a height to the ground, needs connecting to standard downpipe. What's the best way that isn't going to look liked a bodged job?

    Thanks for any advice! Screenshot_20200215-170720_Gallery.jpg

    Fit a hopper on the black down pipe.

    It’s always going to look a bit messy as you have a mix of white, black, squareline and round gutter next to each other

    But .... if that’s what you have to work with then as Deleted member 11267 says, cut downpipe at suitable level and fit a hopper

    Extend white pipe so you have a fall and finish with a 90 degree bend into hopper, clip pipe to wall

    32/40mm are more common pipe sizes, no idea what that 22mm pipe is or if it’s a proper fitting that gutter stop end or something that’s been bodged up perhaps

    Overflow pipe is 21.5mm - maybe that ?

    Can get adaptors for most size pipe so hopefully you can join what you have to 32/40 mm waste pipe - good luck

    Into the existing downpipe using a 'Y' junction.

    Great, thanks for the responses!
    All good ideas - appreciate all your replies.

    Think I may side with the gadget man idea as Y junction may appear a bit neater than a hopper as it's right at the front and centre of house. I'll look into ordering the fittings for it and let you know how I get on.
