Installation
- To set recommended gutter height, lay a straight batton on the lowest profile of the roof covering. The gutter bracket can then be offered up to the intersection point (10mm below the pitch of roof, as shown).
- Fix fascia brackets with 32mm x No10 roundhead screw, SC201. Drilling pilot holes first is recommended.
- Fix fascia brackets at 915mm centres, either nominally level, or to a fall of 1:600.
- Support outlets and angles by fixing fascia brackets a maximum of 150mm from each side.
- Place gutters into the fascia brackets, pressing down to engage into the brackets. Do not slide the gutter into the fascia brackets from one end.
- Clean all joint surfaces using clean cloth and solvent cleaner, SC108.
- Apply two 8mm thick parallel beads of sealant, SC101 central to the gutter socket and around the bolt hole. Do not carry out joining in wet conditions, or temperatures below 5°C and above 40°C.
- Nuts and washers can be located inside or outside the gutter. Bolt heads outside will appear neater, but the internally projecting thread and nut will have a minor effect on the flow performance. Both options are shown.
- Finger tighten nut and bolt only, pull the joint apart sideways to ensure a minimum 3mm expansion gap is achieved. Then tighten one full turn only with spanner/screwdriver. Point sealant onto joint gap adding additional sealant if required. Clean off any excess with solvent cleaner, SC108.
