Gutter and downspout size for Marmora rain
Gutters are sized for the worst few minutes of a storm, not for the year. In Marmora the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 6.58 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 2). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,090 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,190, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
