Left Hand vs Right Hand Gutter Stopends

A left-hand and right-hand gutter stop end differ based on their placement and orientation relative to the flow of water and the structure of the gutter system. Here’s a breakdown:

  1. Orientation and Placement:

    • Left-Hand Stop End: Fits at the left end of a gutter when viewed from the ground with the gutter running away from you. It blocks the water flow on the left side of a gutter section.
    • Right-Hand Stop End: Fits at the right end of a gutter when viewed from the ground with the gutter running away from you. It blocks the water flow on the right side of a gutter section.

  2. Design and Fit:

    • Both stop ends are designed to cap the end of a gutter and prevent water from spilling out.
    • They are usually shaped to match the gutter's profile (half-round, square, ogee, etc.).
    • The distinction between left and right ensures that the stop end fits snugly and aligns properly with the gutter's edge and orientation.

  3. Installation Context:

    • Left-hand stop ends are installed on the left side of a gutter section when you are facing it.
    • Right-hand stop ends are installed on the right side of a gutter section when you are facing it.

When selecting a stop end, always consider the gutter’s orientation on the building, and confirm whether you're looking for the left or right side when facing the building or gutter run.
