Wall Channel

Mount the wall channels so each gutter clip rests entirely on each channel.

After installing the wall mount brackets, be sure to install the included rubber spacer 

(1 for a 4-tower wall, 2 for an 8-tower wall) slightly below the wall mount brackets. For 

the 4-tower wall the spacer should be fairly centered behind the bottom gutter. For 

the 8-tower wall the spacers should be  placed approximately 1.5 feet in from each 

end of the gutter. The purpose of these spacers is to provide support for the weight 

of the bottom gutter and towers.
