5˝ corners
(IC5220/ OC5220) or 6˝ corners
(IC6220/OC6220) using 6 screws as
shown in the drawing. (Figure 1)
NOTE: Pre-fabricated 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 (ASDIV).
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.

System
NOTE: For TP5100P and TP6100P;
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˝). (Figure 3)
Starting at one end, fasten front of
Leaf Relief
®
to gutter every 24˝
using #6-3/8˝ screws. (Figure 4)
NOTE: For TP5100P and TP6100P;
adjust the “J” receiver to fit the
width of the gutter. Using same
screws as noted above, attach every
2´ as shown.
