5" & 6" Clean-Mesh™ Gutter Guard

Tools Needed: ladder, safety glasses, gloves, measuring tape, pencil, tin snips & a metal bending tool

Before beginning your Clean-Mesh™ Gutter Guard installation, the gutters should be cleaned and tested to ensure they are free of clogs,

draining correctly, and in proper working order. When the gutters are ready for the Clean-Mesh panels, measure the length of gutter to be

protected. The Clean-Mesh panels are 3'-0" in length and are for use on standard 5" and 6" gutters, panels may be trimmed with normal sheet

metal cutting tools.

Step 1. Lower the face of the Clean-Mesh panel onto the top of the gutter;

the panel should be approximately ¼" larger than the gutter opening.

Position the Clean-Mesh gutter panel over the top of the lip of the gutter.

Press the rear section downward to meet the fascia or drip edge, this

pressure fit will allow the panel to spring slightly and hold in place.

Once in place, secure it to the gutter lip using min. #6 x ½" hex washer

head piercing point screws approximately 1" from each end, and in the

middle of the panel. When installing each additional Clean-Mesh panel

section, butt the panel ends tight together before securing in place.

Step 2. When reaching the corner, mark and cut a diagonal line beginning

from the gutter nose. Begin the Clean-Mesh panel angle cut at the front lip,

then snip the weep hole leg, and begin the angle cut at the gutter systems

back corner and cut towards the front of the panel. Cut and remove the face

of the next Clean-Mesh panel to conform to the angle and butt tight together.

Step 3. At the termination end of the gutter system, you will need to snip

and remove the panel nose and the weep hole leg approximately 2" from

the gutter end. Bend the 2" section downward at a 90° angle to create a

cap at the end of the system. This will prevent debris and pests from

entering the gutter system .

Step 4. Optional screws may be utilized at the sight line channel into the

fascia to provide additional structural support for the entire gutter system.
