Gutter and downspout size for New Kingman-Butler rain
What overwhelms a gutter is a burst, not a season. In New Kingman-Butler the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 5.04 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 1). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 1,430 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 2,860, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook. Try your own roof in the gutter and downspout calculator, which starts from this figure.
New Kingman-Butler is dry by national standards, about 8 inches in a normal year, but much of the rain that does come can arrive in short, hard storms: the five-minute downpour expected once in ten years still runs at 5.04 inches an hour. Where gutters are used here, the job is moving that burst away from the foundation, and keeping a dry season’s dust and debris from blocking the first storm.
