Name of the gutter stuff
What is the official name for those pipes leading to gutters? Thank you.

Ive always known them as 'leaders'...(at least when I was in the 'states'). Up here they use the term 'down spouts'...:shrug:

Conductors are located "inside" the structure. Leaders are located "outside" or on the exterior of the structure.
Both can be used to drain runoff from one roof location to another roof location (such as a multi-story building) or to an approved drain.
I always got confused with figuring scuppers, but that's a different question.
Hope this helps....

Thank you all, that's outside the house coming down from the roof gutters to the lower part of the house. Rain leader, downspout drain are understandable.
The follow up question is what material you think is better? Plastic or alluminum? I just found plastic is easy to work on and not likely to get bent.
