Abstract: An overflow chute for guttering includes an elongate member having a substantially U-shaped cross-section and includes a weir or barrier therein intermediate an overflow spout and an inlet adapted to engage a section of guttering. The inlet may include male and female coupling portions to link the chute to a standard section of guttering. The inlet may include a downpipe connector having a through-body aperture for directing rainwater into a downpipe. The aperture may be protected by a leaf guard to prevent an accumulation of debris in the downpipe.

Abstract: An overflow chute (1) for guttering, the chute comprising an elongate member (2) having a substantially U-shaped cross-section and including a weir or barrier (10) therein intermediate an overflow spout (3) and an inlet (4) adapted to engage a section of guttering. In a preferred arrangement, the inlet (4) includes male (18) and female (17) coupling portions to link the chute (1) to standard section of guttering (not shown). The inlet (4) further includes a downpipe connector (5) having a through-body aperture (2) for directing rainwater into a downpipe (D). The aperture (6) is protected by a leaf guard (15) to prevent an accumulation of debris in the downpipe (D).
