Product Preparation
Tools required:
•   Tin snips   •    Tape measure
  Applying Gutter Guards to straight runs:
At ground level and with product facing up (top 
side of gutter guard) (A) and the clip facing 
towards you, measure approximately 3” from 
the end of the product at the clip and mark. This 
procedure should be duplicated for the same side of 
each piece of gutter guard.
  Using tin snips, cut and remove 3” of the clip 
area only. (B).
  The cut end will go underneath the next piece 
that is installed. (C)
Installation Thoroughly clean gutter and downspout of any debris before beginning installation.
Snap-In Guard   
Install the 3΄ Snap-in Gutter 
Guards with label side up, clip 
to front lip of gutter and slide 
back side under the roof shingle. 
Be sure to install the high 
projection, lip side up, which 
will act to baffle roof run off and 
help direct into the gutter.
Snap-In Filter   
Install the 3΄ Snap-in Filter with 
filter side up.
*
*In high wind areas, use two 
sheet metal screws 
per piece, secure 
to the front lip 
of the gutter.

Applying Gutter Guards to corners:
For an outside 
or inside corner, 
mitre cut opposite 
ends of two 
adjoining pieces 
to form a corner 
joint.
Note: A splash guard may be required on outside 
corners, inside corners and where a downspout from  an upper roof diverts water to the lower roof. You can also eliminate the heavy flow of water on the roof by connecting the upper roof downspout into the lower roof gutter.
