Guttering Installation Guide Step by step with Pictures
-
To position the running outlet accurately, hold a
plumb line against the fascia directly over the drain.
-
Mark the position on the fascia with a pencil.
-
Fit the outlet no more than 50mm below the level of
the roof tiles.
|
|
-
Stretch the plumb Line from the bracket along the
fascia board and tie it to the outlet.
-
Using a spirit level, check that there is a fall
towards the outlet (1.350 is recommended) to encourage water to
drain efficiently.
|
|
RECOMMENDED: Use two 25mm brass or zinc screws when fitting fascia
brackets.
- Cut the last section of gutter to fit using a hacksaw and fit a
stopend.
|
-
Starting at the outlet, fit the first length of
gutter using the �back to front� rule (see below).
-
Fit a union bracket at the other end of the first
length and screw it into the fascia, then fit the next length of
gutter into it.
-
Continue joining lengths.
-
Make sure all joints line up with the insertion
depth marked in the fittings.
�Back to Front� Rule: Tilt the gutter to fit under the back clip
and snap in at the front.
