Installation Guide

leaf relief
At inside/outside corners, install
Leaf sections towards the corner
with a minimum 1/2" overlap with
adjacent Leaf Relief sections.
Attach Leaf 5" corners (IC5220/
OC5220) or 6" corners (IC6220/
OC6220) using 6 screws as shown in
the drawing. (Fig. 1)
NOTE: Prefabricated corners
must be at the same level as the
Leaf Relief
®
sections.
Important
Downspouts 3"x4" or larger are
recommended for proper function in
a coniferous tree zone.
To prevent overflow, all inside
corners and valleys must have a
water diverter/deflector. Diverter/
deflector must be installed on the top
surface of the Leaf (behind front lip).
(Fig. 2)
The flow from high-level gutters
must be transferred within down-
spouts directly into lower-level
gutters and sealed. An alternative
to this would be to install water
diverters.
In applications where the Leaf is
level with the endcap.
At the end of the run, make a 4" cut
on the back of the Leaf up to the lip
on the front. (Fig. 3)
Cut parallel to the front about 1/2"
from the lip.
Make another cut in the opposite
direction to the lip.
Turn and fold under the excess
material. (Fig. 4)
NOTE: If Leaf Relief
®
is lower than
the endcap, stop the Leaf Relief
®
1/16" short of the endcap.
