Abstract
A gutter attachable to wall structure of a building for the reception of moisture and the discharge of same harmlessly to an exterior wall surface. The gutter includes a rear wall for disposition below a sill pan mounted in a door or window opening of the building structure. Extensions on the ends of the gutter also receive moisture from sill pan or structural surfaces of the building. Moisture from a sill pan is directed toward openings in a front wall of the gutter located above an exterior wall surface of the building structure. A trim plate conceals the openings. The extensions include convergent walls to avoid interference with the wall covering material later applied.
