    You’re welcome. From what I remember there is no standard, per se, but the rings are usually under 3”. Each installation dictates the scale of the links and overall length of the chain. Most do not have the collector cups that mine has. That was my own stylistic addition. The chain disperses the water before it reaches the bottom anyhow. I just wanted to add some of my own style, and each of my projects includes something used/recycled. The upper collector is there mostly to hide the ugly hole I cut in the gutter (I had the installers leave it solid), but it does aim the water down the center of the chain. Without it the water would splash onto the stoop and get me wet.
