More detailed information about the installation
Correct installation must protect gutters against the impact of snow sliding down a roof. The upper edge of gutter flanging should be lowered below the extension of the roof slope surface.
Extend a string between the highest and the lowest hanger. This helps determine the position of the rest of the hangers. The decline of the gutter towards the drain should be at least 2 mm per 1 m.
Gutter hangers should be mounted directly to the face board at 60 cm intervals. The first hanger should be placed 10 cm away from the roof edge.
Rafter hooks should be installed at the maximum spacing of 1 m. The hooks should be distanced from the rafter edge at least 2 cm to allow free ventilation of the roof. Follow the diagram.
Use a soft pencil to outline the edge of the drop outlet on the surface of the gutter.
The drain hole must be cut out by using scissors. The use of high-speed tools is not permitted! The diameter of the hole should be reduced by approximately 2,5 cm in relation to the previously marked edge of the drop outlet.
Stability of the drop outlet is ensured by four mounting elements, the so-called leaves, which must be bent deep into the gutter flanging.
After latching the gutter joint on the rear flanging of the connected elemets, the joint with a gasket must be tightened and pressed from underneath. Only after pressing can the clamp be latched onto the front flanging and locked in place by bending the leaves.
Connect corners to the gutters with gutter joints. It is necessary to use additional gutter hangers to stabilise the system. In order to ensure proper dilatation of the system, leave a 5 mm gap at the connection between the corner and the gutter. Mount the additional gutter hangers maximum 15 cm from the centre of the gutter joint.
After screwing on the back part of the clamping ring, push the front part into the socket and screwed tight. Down pipe clamping rings should be installed at least every 2 m.
Always use a spanner for screwing in or unscrewing the clamping ring when verticalisation of the down pipe.
Down pipes have a socket end. In case of a pipe with a cut off end, use a pipe joint.
