Roof guttering 122mm

    Needed to replace some guttering on shed so took a sample into Tralee to make sure I got the size right, but drew a blank everywhere. Seems this stuff no longer made, its white pvc and the dimension (at the widest top part) is about 122cm. I would like to avoid the prospect of tearing down the whole lot and replacing it with what seems to be standard these days, but it seems a lot of time, money and waste simply because I cant find a new end bit with a pipe connector on it. Just wondered if anyone else encountered this problem and if they found a stockist anywhere (preferably Kerry) that may have old stock on hand. Thanks.

    You haven't enough posts yet to post a photo. Try posting a link to a product on the web. But I'm guessing it's the 5" half round guttering that you want? I wanted some a while back for a shed and like you everywhere I looked only had newer fancy profiles. I eventually found some in Correll's in Carnew, Wicklow. Not Wavin, some other make but is quite compatible with Wavin. Can't figure why they stopped stocking the half round guttering, perfectly serviceable. Who wants fancy box shapes..

    No actually its the box shape, I have found a makers mark 'Osma' on an end piece so I'm trying out searches on that. Hope I get some result, I don't like the idea of throwing away perfectly good stuff just because I cant find just one component!

    Osma is a trademark associated with Wavin I'm fairly sure. Up in south east, the box profiles seem to be all that is stocked now, so surprised if you can't find this.

    No, it dosen't look exactly the same, pity I' m not allowed to post the pics I took. One side of the guttering is practically a right angle to it's base while the other side looks a bit like your pic. There is a mark on one of the end bits I have, says 'Osma T75.751 RIGHT' but I'm starting to think this is really an old discontinued line since web searches don't return anything. Problem also the hardware shop where I bought it went bust a few years ago, so no follow there possible. But many thanks for taking time out to help me, its much appreciated.
