How to install a New downpipe in a boxed eave

[@avonzo]

Best drywall cutting I’ve ever seen! Just with a screwdriver and a hammer !! Mastery right there.

[@gus1332]

Good video mate. This helped me a fair bit replacing a few downpipes on my house.

[@moisty254]

4:50 Brilliant video dude i just used your trick to do my downpipe, worked perfectly. I didnt even know they had small and big ends, learnt lots here. Perth for the win 💪

[@dennisperrie]

thanks for the feedback

[@adbro4776]

You bloody legend ! screwdriver and hammer for the cut out! Legendary ! Straight up no dicking around wicked video ! and top it off with from Perth made my day mate hats off to you and bet your phone hasn't stopped ringing after that rain the other night...

[@dennisperrie]

thanks for the comment and yes I am flat out after the rains👍

[@grillastarkilla]

Great video mate, cheers,

[@voraxe]

so going to give this a go after this weekend rain. if i stuff it up I might have to call you to come out (im gossy based)

[@ML6103]

Hi mate. Perth local here also....love watching your work. Quick question. How do you go cutting colorbond on your trailer side like that? Any big scrapes and scratches? Cheers

[@dennisperrie]

@ML6103 it is fine . I do paint over the metal and the bit that rests on the metal is the back seam. on some downpipes I do leave the plastic on to protect it and take it off after (round downpipes especially as they tend to move more)

[@ML6103]

@@dennisperrie yep nice, makes sense. Used to have old carpet scraps on my trestles when I did patios but there's a few ways to skin a cat

[@dennisperrie]

@@ML6103 I thought of that but on my trailer, it is too inconvenient. I have also toyed with plywood used like a counter but until it becomes a problem i haven't bothered.

Good evening sir! Please show me how to make an offset of downpipe 100 by 100 please!! Thanks a lot.

[@dennisperrie]

I will when I get a job using that size downpipe.

[@jonlewislive]

Hi , Thank you. Do all makes of drain/down pipes have a small end?

[@dennisperrie]

Yes or and end that sides into the other with a crimp. I haven't come across a make that doesn't.

[@chanhtran3249]

Good evening sir! I’m Chanh , I’m very interested you did on your youtube. I got a square rain downpipe 100 by 100 was leaking. I would like to fix it by myself. But I need a female and male for fit it. Please tell me what size for it ! Thanks a lot!!

[@dennisperrie]

You should still need a 100mm downpipe. It will have a big end and a small end. Check the ends they usually mark the small end. Just be careful because sometimes different brands are slightly different sizes.

[@voraxe]

Hey. Unsure if you still check older post comments :) how the heck do you do a side elbow in this type of downpipe. Mine comes off the side of a custom box gutter.. so bends along the 45 mm side to the wall to bend 90° down. Cheers :)

[@dennisperrie]

so it is the same process except for the measurements. measure the big side measurement and take 5mm off it to get the cut.

[@voraxe]

​@@dennisperriecheers. I had assumed when I listen to the video again it would be something like that. I should have just thrown the contractor some coin to do it for me lol. I mean he gave me the downpipes for nothing.

[@chanhtran3249]

Sorry I can’t find the number of the end. Please show me the number of female and male to connect the square rain downpipe 100 by 100. My one was leaking. I would like to cut a part and joint it. Thanks

[@dennisperrie]

Just try sliding one inside the other.

[@blurtmenow]

What are the nails with inserts you hammered into the masonry called and are they commonly available? I have to remove some downpipes to replace pvc damaged by whipper snipper.

[@dennisperrie]

They are 6.5mm nylon anchors.

[@JustBeYouooh]

Why don’t you just cut some pvc pipe, make a slit , add some PBAC glue in the inner part and the. push it over the damage pipe ..put pressure on the new piece for 30 sec!

[@blurtmenow]

The repair is for a fitting at the bottom of downtube not a pipe. downtube(rectangle) to round pipe in ground was damaged by whipper snipper .the downtube needs to be removed to access broken fitting. Not a fun job. if there was an easy fix i would go that way. @@JustBeYouooh

[@SteveZussou]

Is that asbestos you're cutting into?

[@dennisperrie]

no it's hardiflex

[@JohnBoyWalton06]

Doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain non fibril asbestos.

[@dennisperrie]

@John Hull but there is no dust and the cut is clean. It is the safest and easiest way to cut the hardiflex

[@deanwitt7903]

@@JohnBoyWalton06so what if it is ! The job has to be done regardless. You think cutting a little hole like that means instant lung cancer and a death sentence ?

[@donburke4886]

Definitely asbestos.. You can tell by the sound of it.

[@JustBeYouooh]

They should have chose the colour monument to match the specks in the bricks

[@yony713]

En mi país eso es chapuceria.

[@hepburn118]

Is it possible to cut the pipe on the other face (the 50mm face instead of the 100mm) and make these bends? Would you use similar measurements?

[@dennisperrie]

Yes use 5mm less so if it is a 100 face cut at 95mm

[@hepburn118]

@@dennisperrie Thanks Dennis, I want the downpipe to turn a 90 degree corner from where it is and I am clueless with sheetmetal. Your instructions for the bend you did on the video were great, I just wasn't sure they would translate to folding up the 50mm side. So thankyou again.
