ABSTRACT:
A cleaning system (10) for an eave trough (11) and a downspout (12) includes a conduit assembly (13) extending along a portion of the downspout (12) and along at least a partial length of the eave trough (11), and a strainer assembly (14) interposed with respect to the downspout (12). A plurality of spaced spray nozzles (16) extend from the conduit assembly (13) and spray water toward the junction (17) of the eave trough (11) and downspout (12). A fitting (19) is connected to one end the conduit assembly ( 13 ) and is adapted for interengagement with a hose (20) which provides for a source of water under pressure. The spray of water allows for the flushing or purging of the eave trough (11), directing debris for the eave trough (11) to and through the downspout (12). The strainer assembly (14) includes a T-shaped housing (22) having an open upper end (25), an open lower end (26), and an open extension (27) extending orthogonally between the upper end (25) and the lower end (26), a strainer (23) operatively attached at the upper end (25) within the housing (22) for collecting the debris which passes through the downspout (12), and a stopper disc (24) selectively removable from the lower end (26) of the housing (22) which redirects the flow of water while purging. The strainer (23) and the stopper disc (24) are removable through the open extension (27) of the housing (22).
