Installation Instructions
1. Clean gutters to ensure they are clear of any debris.
2. Check the condition and pitch of gutters. If the gutter condition is poor or the pitch of the
system toward the downspout is not at least 1” of decline for every 16’ of gutter, this could
create a water ow challenge completely unrelated to the installation of gutter protection.
3. Always be certain to place the Rain Filter inserts into the gutter, ensuring that the top coated
surface is facing upwards.
4. Install miters rst and work outwards from them. Mitered sections will perform best if supported
by a full 4 foot section leading into the area as miters bear the most stresses.
5. Inside and outside miters must be cut on an angle in order allow for unimpeded water ow.
Improperly cut miters may leave too much Rain Filter material in the open cavity of the mitered
area and ow-over may result from heavy rains. Miter boxes should be utilized as they provide
the proper angles and it is best to use a cutting instrument with a long blade to ensure straight,
uniform cuts.
6. Utilize under-the-hanger (UTH) or over-the-hanger(OTH) installations where most appropriate.
When gutter hangers are situated low in the gutter, OTH installation is recommended. The
reason to consider OTH installation is that when the Rain Filter material is compressed too
much beneath a hanger, the ow rate of the gutter system can be impeded and ow-over may
result from heavy rains. In addition, OTH installation is reccommended to avoid creating too
much room for debris to collect above the material where it is held down beneath a low
hanging bracket.
7. When brackets are situated at the top/upper level of the gutter, it is most appropriate to install
the insert UTH. Slide each insert under the spikes or hangers and pull it to length. All 4’
sections must be compressed a ¼ inch against the next which is a total of ½ inch compression
between adjacent sections.
CAUTION: Gutters can have sharp edges. Wear gloves while installing this product.
