If you do that, make sure you get the fittings too. You don't want to waste the time trying to track down the colour and profile matched fittings.
Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

Elbows, downpipe, trough to downpipe connector(s), straps (or make your own....you have a brake), corner pieces (unless you can cut/splice a corner), a clamp for every 2.5'-3' and a tube or 2 of silicone.
No affiliation, but I've used this place......good price, good service....

We use these guys for plastic fittings. If they don't have it in stock, they can order or fabricate what you need.
Awesome, thanks I’ll give these folks a call .
@nobbie , changing the female part , set into a boat deck non starter . I own pipe dies and taps , but NPT not NPS . I also own a small lathe but my drive gears are for several threads , not this . Tooling up ( even for an idiot like me ) for two parts seems silly.
I’ll see if these folks in Etobicoke will entertain my job .
Thanks all !

How often do you need to use this thing? A rubber stopper jammed in the hole with a hose through it may get the job done. Doing that at the YC may require you to put a bag over your head.

The next few weeks are up north work for me. Last week I ripped out a popcorn ceiling, carpet, and crown moulding from a 24x28 great room.
Had to finish corners that were unfinished under crown, scrape popcorn - skim coat & sand ceiling, then laid hardwood. Added a 6’ half wall to replace pickets on a start case, painted ceiling and walls. Finishing trim around 4 windows and baseboards today.
Got a new Milli 12” Fuel chop saw as a gift for doing the work - not often a tool gives you wood.

it gets used once or twice a year , and a rubber cone fitting is whats been used so far but often it lets loose at a inopertune time. The proper fitting exists somewhere , its just so old they have been lost/stolen/loaned never to be returned .
Its like working on heavy equipement , a metric Japanese bolt wont go in your metric German machine because they needed to change thread pitch and count . Wheel bolts for wifes BMW at $19.00 ea, because somehow they are special.
