Installation Guide

Attaching the water diverter assembly to the downspout

After you slide the lower portion of the downspout up into/onto the bottom portion of the water

diverter, remove the wood or cardboard protecting your siding. The enclosed locking screws attach both the

top and bottom sections of downspout to the diverter for a more secure connection. When the diverter is in

place and both downspout sections are now connected to the diverter, you can reattach the lower down-

spout bracket you removed earlier and secure the downspout to your house. (See illustrations below)

If necessary, secure with

locking screws.

Reattach downspout bracket.

Marking and cutting downspout

for diverter installation CONTINUED

Using a hacksaw, cut the downspout at the second

pencil mark you made. After this cut is complete, remove

the bottom piece of downspout from the house.

Push the diverter UP onto the cut end of the downspout

leading from the gutter above. You may need to ex the

downspout slightly in order to get the diverter onto the

downspout. Wear gloves to protect your hands from

scratches or cuts. Push the diverter all the way onto the

downspout until it stops.

Attaching the diverter kit will add 1” to the total length of your

downspout. If there is not enough space to reattach the bottom section of the

downspout to the bottom of the diverter, then you will need to make an additional cut

at the top of the lower downspout section. Begin by cutting and removing 1” from the top

of the lower downspout section until it can be replaced in its original position. Discard the 1”

piece of downspout you cut o and reattach the lower downspout section to its original position.
