Prepare the Gutter
Clean and flush existing gutters and
downspouts thoroughly with water.

Corners
Attach Leaf Relief

5" corners
(IC5220/ OC5220) or 6" corners
(IC6220/OC6220) using 6 screws as
shown in the drawing. (Fig. 1)
NOTE: Pre-fabricated 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 (ASDIV).
Diverter/deflector must be installed
on the top surface of the Leaf
Relief
®
(behind front lip). (Fig. 2)
The flow from high-level gutters
must be transferred within
downspouts directly into lower-level
gutters and sealed. An alternative
to this would be to install water
diverters.
Install Leaf Relief
®
System
NOTE: For TP5100P; slide “J”
receiver onto the Leaf Relief
®
sections.
Place the Leaf Relief
®
sections on
top of the gutter with the vinyl strip
against the fascia or drip edge. For
proper function, the Leaf Relief
®
surface (front-to-back) must be level
or have a slight slope toward the
fascia. Do not install Leaf Relief
®
over hangers that will result in a
forward slope.
For best support, place Leaf Relief
®
so that the piece nearest the hanger
is beneath the adjoining Leaf
Relief
®
section (overlap 1/2" with
adjacent Leaf Relief
®
section – do
not butt). Add or replace hangers
as needed for proper support
(maximum support spacing is 30").
(Fig. 3)
Starting at one end, fasten front of
Leaf Relief
®
to gutter every 24"
using#6-3/8" screws. (Fig. 4)
In applications where the Leaf
Relief
®
is level with the endcap.
At the end of the run, make a 4" cut
on the back of the Leaf Relief
®
up
to the lip on the front. (Fig. 5)
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. 6)
NOTE: For TP5100P; adjust the
“J” receiver to fit the width of the
gutter. Using same screws as noted
above, attach every 2' as shown.
For application using
zip hangers, see Leaf Relief
®
Installation (Zip Hangers) section.
