Leader Heads
Description
Leader heads are designed to help transfer excess water from the roof onto downspouts, thus preventing the gutters from overflowing and water washing over the walls. This is a common occurrence in areas that experience heavy rain cycles, making the use of leader heads important to help prevent this from happening.

Its enlarged inlet receives roof or gutter discharge before funneling the water into the smaller downspout connection.
What must match a Leader Head?
The inlet must fit the supplying gutter, scupper, or outlet, and the bottom connection must match the selected downspout size.
What collects gutter discharge before it enters the downspout?
Leader heads collect roof or gutter discharge and direct it into a downspout while providing additional inlet capacity at the top of the pipe.
