Wide Mouth Gutter Outlets 3 different versions
With pine needles shedding every 2-4 or more years, chances are that if they are close to your home, they are clogging up your gutter. Which is bad. Very bad. When your gutters aren’t working properly, water is damaging your home and its foundation.
There is an answer… it’s the Wide Mouth Outlet by Raindrop Gutter Guard Systems. The RGG System is designed to keep out large clog forming debris and let the little stuff flush through the gutter system. Pine needles are a funny type of debris. Lots of pine needles are bad and one here and there is not a problem; but the downspout outlet could be an issue.
A typical downspout outlet has a few zip screws and a good amount of caulking going on. The zip screws and caulking can snag a pine needle, and overtime could build up and clog. So with the Raindrop gutter guard system, instead of cleaning the entire length of gutters, you only have to clean a few pine needles out at the downspout. Here is where the Wide Mouth Outlet comes into play.
