Solve Valley Drainage Without Installing Gutters
Without a gutter, water pours off the "valley" where two roofs join - creating erosion, foundation issues, and unsightly water damage. If you don't have guttering at these critical junctions, this copper corner leaderhead provides an elegant solution. It catches water where it naturally concentrates and directs it onto a decorative rain chain below. This transforms a common drainage problem into a beautiful architectural water feature. The inside 90-degree design fits perfectly into roof valley corners, collecting water that would otherwise cascade uncontrolled off your roofline. Stop fighting valley drainage - harness it with this patented copper solution.
What Makes This Corner Leaderhead Special:
Unlike standard leaderheads designed for gutter systems, this corner collector is purpose-built for roof valleys where gutters don't exist. The triangular inside-corner design catches water exactly where two roof planes meet and channel it downward. The patented D-clip outlet makes rain chain installation effortless - simply clip your rain chain in place without adapters or modifications. The removable brass screen prevents leaves, pine needles, and debris from clogging the outlet while allowing maximum water flow. Four keyhole-style mounting holes (two per side) with included copper screws ensure secure, professional installation that matches the copper aesthetic.
Inside 90-Degree Design - Purpose-Built for Roof Valleys:
The corner leaderhead is specifically designed to fit inside 90-degree angles - the exact geometry where two roof planes meet at a valley. Standard leaderheads and collectors are designed for flat wall mounting with gutter connections, but this specialized design wedges perfectly into roof valley corners. The 13-1/2" front width captures the full water flow from the valley while the tapered sides (9-1/2" to 2-1/8") nestle into the corner angle. At 12" overall height, there's ample capacity to handle even heavy rainfall while maintaining an elegant, proportioned appearance.
Removable Brass Debris Screen - Low Maintenance Protection:
The integrated brass screen in the top opening lets water flow in freely while keeping debris out. Leaves, pine needles, shingle grit, and other rooftop debris are filtered before reaching your rain chain, preventing clogs and ensuring reliable drainage year-round. The screen is fully removable for easy cleaning - simply lift it out, brush or rinse away accumulated debris, and replace. This removable design means you can perform seasonal maintenance in seconds rather than struggling with permanent mesh. The brass material complements the copper construction and develops its own patina over time.
Patented D-Clip Outlet - Effortless Rain Chain Connection:
The patented outlet with integrated D-clip makes hanging a rain chain remarkably simple. Unlike standard outlets that require separate adapters, V-hooks, or modifications, the D-clip provides a secure connection point built right into the leaderhead. Simply clip your rain chain's top loop onto the D-clip and you're done - no tools, no additional hardware, no fumbling with adapters. This patented design ensures your rain chain hangs properly centered beneath the outlet for optimal water flow and visual alignment. The controlled outlet directs water smoothly onto the rain chain below.
Keyhole Mounting with Copper Screws - Professional Installation Made Easy:
Four keyhole-style mounting holes - two per side - allow secure attachment to fascia boards, corner trim, or siding. The keyhole design enables you to hang the leaderhead on pre-installed screws and then slide it down for a tight, secure fit. This makes solo installation much easier than standard round holes that require holding the piece in place while driving screws. The included four copper screws match the leaderhead material, ensuring a cohesive appearance and eliminating galvanic corrosion that can occur when dissimilar metals contact each other. All hardware is included - no separate trips to the hardware store.
Pure Thick Copper Construction - Built to Last Generations:
Crafted from pure, thick copper - not copper-clad or copper-coated materials. This substantial copper construction provides the weight, durability, and weather resistance needed for decades of outdoor service. The thick gauge material resists denting, warping, and damage from ladders, debris, and weather. Pure copper naturally resists corrosion and develops a beautiful living patina over time - transitioning from bright copper through warm browns to eventual verdigris green. This patina progression makes your corner leaderhead more distinctive with every passing year while providing natural protection.
Transform problematic roof valley drainage into an elegant architectural water feature with our Copper Corner Leaderhead. Without gutters at roof valleys, water pours off uncontrolled where two roof planes meet - this purpose-built collector solves that problem beautifully. Designed specifically for inside 90-degree angles, the corner leaderhead (12" height x 13-1/2" front width tapering to fit corner geometry) catches concentrated valley water and directs it onto a decorative rain chain below. Crafted from pure, thick copper with a removable brass debris screen, patented D-clip outlet for easy rain chain attachment, four keyhole-style mounting holes (two per side), and four matching copper screws included. The natural copper develops a living patina over time - bright copper aging through warm browns to eventual verdigris green. Perfect for contractors solving valley drainage challenges on homes without full gutter systems and DIY homeowners who want to address specific problem areas with an attractive, functional solution.

Corner Leaderhead Quantity Calculator:
| Project Type | Typical Valleys | Leaderheads Needed | Notes |
| Single problem area | 1 valley | 1 leaderhead | Address specific erosion or splash issue |
| Ranch/Single story | 1-2 valleys | 1-2 leaderheads | Simple rooflines have fewer valleys |
| Two-story home | 2-4 valleys | 2-4 leaderheads | Multi-plane roofs create more valleys |
| Complex roof / Custom home | 4+ valleys | 4+ leaderheads | Call for volume contractor pricing |
Identification Tip: Walk around your home and look for places where two roof planes meet and create a valley line. These valleys concentrate water flow. If there's no gutter at the valley end, water pours off uncontrolled - these are the spots where corner leaderheads provide the most benefit. Focus first on valleys near entryways, walkways, or foundation areas where uncontrolled water causes problems.
Rain Chain Pairing Guide:
| Building Height | Rain Chain Length | Sections Needed |
| Single-story (8-10ft eave) | 8ft total | 1 section (8ft) |
| Two-story (16-20ft eave) | 16ft total | 2 sections (8ft each) |
| Taller / Commercial | 24ft+ total | 3+ sections (8ft each) |
Pairing Note: Our copper rain chains are sold in 8-foot sections with 16 cups per section. The corner leaderhead's patented D-clip outlet connects directly to rain chain top loops - no adapters needed. Measure from the leaderhead outlet to where you want the chain to end. Copper rain chains patina at the same rate as copper leaderheads, creating a unified appearance over time.
Living Patina - Pure Copper That Grows More Beautiful With Age
New (Copper Glow)
3-6 Months
1-2 Years

5+ Years (Verdigris)
Pure copper naturally weathers through these beautiful stages. The patina provides natural corrosion protection while adding character and value. If you're pairing with copper rain chains, install them at the same time so they develop matching patina together. Coastal areas with salt air develop patina faster. Visit our Damascus showroom to see physical samples at different patina stages.

Installation Guide - Contractors and DIY:
- Identify valley location: Locate the inside 90-degree corner where two roof planes meet and water concentrates
- Position leaderhead: Hold the leaderhead in the corner with the wide opening facing upward to catch valley water
- Mark mounting holes: Use the four keyhole holes (two per side) as templates to mark screw positions on fascia or corner trim
- Install screws partially: Drive the included copper screws into marked positions, leaving heads raised for keyhole slots
- Hang leaderhead: Slip keyhole slots over screw heads and slide down to lock in place
- Tighten screws: Fully tighten copper screws for secure mounting
- Install brass screen: Place the removable brass debris screen in the top opening
- Attach rain chain: Clip rain chain top loop onto the patented D-clip outlet - no adapters needed
- Test water flow: Use garden hose to simulate rainfall and verify water flows from valley into leaderhead and down rain chain
Installation Tip: The keyhole mounting system allows solo installation - hang the leaderhead on partially-driven screws, position it correctly, then tighten. No need for a helper to hold it in place. Average installation time is 20-30 minutes with basic tools (drill, screwdriver, level). For best water capture, position the top opening directly beneath where the roof valley concentrates water flow.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What problem does this corner leaderhead solve?
A: Without a gutter, water pours off the "valley" where two roofs join - creating erosion, foundation issues, and water damage. This corner leaderhead catches that concentrated valley water and directs it onto a decorative rain chain below, solving the drainage problem while creating an attractive water feature. It's designed for situations where installing a full gutter system isn't practical or desired.
Q: What makes the inside 90-degree design special?
A: Unlike standard leaderheads designed for flat wall mounting with gutter connections, this corner leaderhead is purpose-built to fit inside 90-degree angles - the exact geometry where two roof planes meet at a valley. The triangular shape wedges perfectly into roof valley corners, with the 13-1/2" front width capturing the full water flow from the valley.
Q: How does the patented D-clip outlet work?
A: The patented D-clip provides a built-in connection point for rain chains. Simply clip your rain chain's top loop onto the D-clip - no adapters, V-hooks, or additional hardware needed. The D-clip ensures your rain chain hangs properly centered beneath the outlet for optimal water flow and visual alignment.
Q: Is the brass screen easy to maintain?
A: Yes! The brass screen is fully removable for easy cleaning. Simply lift it out, brush or rinse away accumulated leaves, pine needles, and debris, then replace. Seasonal inspection is typically sufficient - monthly during fall in areas with heavy tree coverage. The brass material complements the copper and develops its own patina over time.
Q: What rain chain length do I need?
A: Rain chains are sold in 8-foot sections. Single-story homes (8-10ft eave) typically need 1 section. Two-story homes (16-20ft eave) need 2 sections connected together. Measure from the leaderhead outlet to where you want the chain to end. The D-clip outlet connects directly to rain chain top loops without adapters.
Q: Can contractors pick up locally?
A: Yes! Local pickup is available at our Damascus, Oregon location Monday-Friday 7am-4pm and Saturday 9am-2pm PST. Call (503) 850-6784 to confirm stock availability. Portland metro delivery and nationwide shipping also available. Volume pricing for contractors ordering multiple units.
Installation Safety Notice
Corner leaderhead installation may require working at heights - always follow proper ladder safety protocols. Use OSHA-approved fall protection for work 6+ feet above ground. Copper can have sharp edges - wear work gloves during handling and installation. Ensure secure mounting before releasing the leaderhead. If you're not comfortable working at heights or with the installation, hire a professional installer. Follow all local building codes and manufacturer specifications.
