Illustration 1 shows normal, simple installation required for most homes.

In the unlikely event that your home is not of typical construction.  You may need one or more of the special accessories shown in illustration  2a, 2b, 2c, 3,  4,  5 & 6

 Measure for Proper Alignment and Hardware

1. After removing existing gutters, inspect and repair (if- necessary) any section of your fascia board that had soft spots, rot, etc. Any needed adapters should be pre-assembled with aluminum sheet metal screws provided. Do not over-tighten.

Rainhandler MUST be positioned at least 3" below roof edge. More than 3" works even better, ALWAYS AT BOTTOM OF FASCIA BOARD. The roof edge MUST be directly over the third to fifth slat from the house for best results. See Figure 1.

2A. If your roof's drip edge extends more than 2 1/2" from the fascia board, use one Horizontal Adapter for every inch greater than the recommended 2". A maximum of three (two in heavy ice areas) Horizontal Adapters may be used. See Figure 2a.

2B. If your roof's drip edge is less than 1 1/2", use Drip-Edge Extender. Screws into fascia board. We provide three (3) aluminum screws per five-foot section. A bead of caulking is recommended for the joint between the roof edge and the Drip Edge Extender See Figure 2B.

3. If your home has an angled fascia (as in Figure 3) you will need Rainhandler Angled
Fascia Adapters to ensure that the RainhandelR section is hung horizontally: parallel to the ground. We make three different Angled Fascia Adapters to suit the needs of different pitched roofs. To measure the pitch of your roof, use two 12" rulers as in Figure 3. You may need to use and can use other adapters in combination with AngledFascia Adapters. The illustrated roof has a 6/12 pitch. ALways choose the equal or next lower Angled Fascia Adapter. Example, you measure 3/12, 4/12 or 5/12, choose 3/12. Measure 6/12, 7/12 or 8/12, choose 6/12, etc. If you measure 12/12 or greater, phone for information on how to handle.

The Roof Valley Rain Diverter is available in Brown and Natural Aluminum.

The Roof Valley Rain Diverter has been designed to fit most roof valleys and to prevent the runoff water from overshooting the RainhandleR® rain dispersers.

Please read the instructions carefully and follow them precisely. The temperature MUST be 55 degrees F or above. Once mounted, the R.V.R.D. becomes a permanent installation. It cannot be removed without damaging shingles.

1.    The R.V.R.D. may be adjusted to fit your roof valley. Angles A and B may be bent to do this. See diagram.

2.    The R.V.R.D. should be TEST MOUNTED FIRST before being permanently affixed to the roof. This is done by placing the R.V.R.D at the bottom of the valley about 1/2 to 1" below the drip edge. Then using your garden house, allow water to run down the valley and adjust the R.V.R.D. position for the best dispersion on the RainhandleR®.
