Traditional Systems Installation
1. To set the recommended gutter height ensure the gutter front is 10mm below the pitch of roof.
2. Fix fascia brackets with 32mm x Nr10 Roundhead stainless steel screws Code SC201. Drill pilot holes for each fixing screw.
3. Fix fascia brackets at 915mm centres, either nominally level, or to a falls of 1:600
4. Support outlets and angles by fixing fascia brackets a maximum of 150mm from each side.
5. Apply two 8mm dia beads of sealant central to the gutter socket. Do not carry out jointing in wet conditions, or temperatures below 4 deg C and above 40 deg C
6. 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. Point sealant into joint gap adding sealant if required. Clean off any excess with Solvent cleaner SC108.
NB: Jointing should not be carried out in wet weather, temperatures below 5°C or above 40°C
