Foxtail Flip Downspout Hinge
A color-matched, wind-resistant hinge system designed for clean installs and reliable performance in harsh conditions.
The Best Downspout Hinge for Wind and Color Matching
Universal Fit
Versatile by design, Foxtail Flip works with virtually any residential downspout system. One hinge fits A and B elbows and supports 2×3, 3×4, and 4×5 downspouts—both rectangular and square.
Color-Matched Paint
Available in 30+ colors, primarily from EDCO Products’ enamel line, with additional options from the Norandex color lineup—making it easy to find a high-quality color match.
Wind Clip Retention
Every hinge comes standard with a wind clip retention clasp designed to keep extensions secure in high winds. Easy to install, easy to use, and built to hold.
Easy to Lock in
Watch the video to see how easily the wind clip locks in place. Even with a strong side-to-side shake—simulating wind—the extension stays secure.
Washer Pivot Point
Foxtail Flip uses a true plastic spacer as the pivot point instead of stamped metal, delivering smoother movement, improved durability, and consistent performance over time.
Extra Strength Tabs
Folded tabs help the extension slide on securely and into the correct spot. They also greatly reduce the risk of the zip screws pulling out.
Made in the USA
The material is painted, slit, and formed in the United States—supporting American manufacturing and U.S.-based business.
The Installation Process
Foxtail Flip Installation Demo: Step-by-Step
See exactly how the downspout hinge is installed with this step-by-step demonstration. Steve Fox shows just how quick and easy it is to attach a Foxtail Flip hinge and wind clip—slide the extension and elbow into the folded tabs, secure with zip screws, align by using the slotted holes, and lock in the wind clip.
Wind Clip Colors
Wind clips are made from painted steel to provide the necessary memory retention for repeated use. Full color matching is not available across all options; black wind clips are typically included with less popular hinge colors. Refer to the color chart to see the specific wind clip that pairs with each hinge color selection.
Color Matching to Other Suppliers
Hinges are primarily offered in EDCO enamel colors. For reference, we've included close visual matches to Senox, Norandex, Spectra, and Lakeside Gutter brands in smaller text below the primary color names. These are not guaranteed perfect matches—always cross-check with the manufacturer's color swatch. An asterisk (*) denotes a match that is somewhat off.
