Abstract
A debris trap for a downspout comprises an angled grate, a baffle, and a cover piece. The downspout has an opening with a vertical extent and a horizontal extent. The angled grate has holes to enable fluid to flow through the angled grate and the angled grate can be secured to the inside of the downspout. The baffle can be secured above the vertical extent of the opening, extend partially behind the opening, and angle inward to direct fluid toward the rear of the angled grate. The cover piece can comprise a top flange configured to removably secure between the baffle and the downspout and a bottom flange configured to contact the angled grate and/or a portion of the downspout below the vertical extent of the opening. The debris trap can prevent debris from clogging the downspout.
