Water pours out of upper gutter holes onto shingles, causing premature deterioration, and there is no room for standard gutter drop and elbow to redirect flow.

Standard gutter fitting (drop and elbow) cannot be installed due to space constraints; no off-the-shelf adapter available to redirect water from gutter holes to a lower gutter without damaging shingles.

Key Features

Universal fit for standard gutter holes (e.g., 2x3, 3x4 inch)
Slide-in design with adhesive or screw mount, no new holes needed
Flexible or rigid channel to direct water to lower gutter
Prevents water from dripping onto shingles, protecting roof lifespan

Target Users: Homeowners and DIYers with multi-level gutter systems where upper gutters drain through holes onto roof shingles

Revenue Model: $14.99 each, sold in pairs; bulk packs for roofers; available online and in hardware stores
