What percentage of area can splices or taps fill within gutters?

The correct answer is: 75%

Splices or taps within gutters are generally permitted to fill a specific percentage of the area in order to ensure proper drainage and structural integrity. A filling limit of 75% is established to maintain sufficient flow capacity and prevent blockages that could lead to water overspill or gutter failure. This guideline ensures that enough space remains for water to flow unimpeded, thereby reducing the risk of backup and encouraging efficient drainage. The 75% filling rule reflects the balance between maximizing the use of gutter space for connections while also maintaining essential functionality and adherence to best practices in construction and drainage design.
