Installation

Fixing to timber fascia
Fix a bracket at the high end of fall first, then fix a bracket at the low end of the fall. Stringline a common datum on both brackets and install the remaining brackets at the required spacing (not exceeding 1200mm) with common datum on the stringline.
The brackets are best attached to the fascia with the use of 20mm bugle
head self drilling screws.

Attaching gutter to brackets
Hook the front of the gutter onto the end of the long arm of the brackets, then slide the back of gutter under the long arm, until it is hard up to the back of the bracket. Push the gutter into the upright position, lifting the bottom of the gutter onto the platform provided by the bracket. When the gutter is in the correct position, turn down both tabs of the gutter brackets onto the back of the gutter to complete the attachment.

Spring Clip System
Fixing to metal fascia is made very easy by using the Steeline spring clip. The clip snaps over the metal fascia and has six teeth at alternative heights. The fall of gutter to downpipe outlet is determined by the height of the gutter attached to these teeth. The face of gutter is then supported by the Steeline overstraps, which connect in front bead of the gutter and top bead of the fascia.

Support Recommendations

End laps in roofs with a pitch of <5° (1 in 12) are to be sealed. End laps must be positioned over a support and the support spacing on either side is to be those recommended for an end span.

Stop Ends
Preformed stop ends provide a neat finish to straight runs of gutter, and require less labour and skill than site formed ends. However both methods require the use of rivets and a roofing type silicone sealant.

External Corners

Cut as shown in illustration, fold, rivet and seal.

Internal Corners

Cut as shown in illustration, fold, rivet and seal.

Gutter Joining

To produce a slip joint, notch gutter as shown in the illustration. Insert reduced end into normal end, rivet and seal.
