DIVERSION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A shelf (16) extends inwardly to the gutter (15) trough from the front containment wall (12) of a gutter trough to cooperate with a lip (31) of a cavity structure of a hanger to provide structural stability and optional deflector attachment facility in a rain collection and diversion system. The hanger cavity structure has a containment lip (31) a portion of which extends over a portion of the inwardly extending shelf (16) of the front containment wall (12) to allow function water bearing capacity of the trough and a lengthened back trough wall (18) to accommodate hanger placement and deflector inclination. The hanger can include deflector-mating cavities that open toward each other to allow compression attachment of the deflector. In a preferred embodiment, the deflector may be attached to a formed trough in which hangers are positioned to allow movement of the trough-deflector combination as a unit from the machine-site to the installation location on the structure. Associated installation methods are provided.
