Install Leaf Relief

Corners
At inside/outside corners, install
Leaf Relief
®
sections towards
the corner with a minimum 1/2˝
overlap with adjacent Leaf Relief
®
sections.
Attach Leaf Relief

5˝ corners
(IC5220/ OC5220) or 6˝ corners
(IC6220/OC6220) using 6 screws as
shown in the drawing. (Figure 1)
NOTE: Prefabricated corners must
be at the same level as the Leaf
Relief
®
sections.
Important
Downspouts 3˝ x 4˝ 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 Relief
®
(behind
front lip). (Figure 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.
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. (Figure 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. (Figure 4)
NOTE: If Leaf Relief
®
is lower than
the endcap, stop the Leaf Relief
®
1/16” short of the endcap.
