A longitudinally extending intermediate portion of the strip integrally connects the inner portion to the outer portion and has a rounded nose surface above a U-shaped channel portion having longitudinally spaced slots for directing water from the inner portion into the gutter and for deflecting leaves and other debris onto the outer portion of the strip for dropping from the drip lip. A tab projects outwardly from the channel portion for hooking or retaining the strip onto the outer edge portion of the gutter.Field of SearchBetween oppositely sloping sectionsWith downspout With additional subsurface liquid receiver COVER WITH SURFACE WATER RECEIVER AT EAVE OR VALLEY With separator; e.g., strainer Inwardly of edge With conduit or passage means (e.g., eave vent, insulation shield for eave vent) EXTERIOR-TYPE FLASHING Interfitting parts EAVES TROUGH Wall bracket Fixed strainer Grated inlet surface drain Flat grating at surface level At upper edge of filtrate receiver Including change of mainstream flow direction | |
