ABSTRACT:
Methods are provided for installation of a rain diversion system including formation of a deflector with a machine placed above a forming machine dedicated to formation of a trough. As trough is run from a first machine, end caps are installed where appropriate, outlet sites are punched and outlets installed for joinder with downspouts, miters are cut and a cavity structure of the hanger is brought into place to mate a containment lip of the hanger with the containment shelf of the trough. Corresponding deflector is run from a second machine and the deflector is placed on the trough as deflector attachment cavities of the hanger are used to retain deflector. In alternative methods, one cavity retains the deflector40for conveyance to the installation location on the structure. In either case, the entire assembly may then be transported to a location on a lower level such as ground, for example, corresponding to the eventual installation location on the structure. The process is repeated until all assemblies of trough, hangers and deflector have been processed. Installers are then employed on ladders or other riser to position each length of assembled trough, hangers, and deflector into place against the structure where the assembly is fastened into place in at least two locations. This is simplified by the disclosed feature that allows compression fitting of the deflector into the appropriate cavities of the hanger.
