Installing outlets
TIP: When cutting the circular hole for the outlet, start in the center and cut toward the outside edge in a series of spirals. When reaching the full diameter, ensure the final cut edge is clean and free from burrs.
Mark center spot on gutter where outlet is desired (1); With outlet on gutter, mark outside edges (2); Move outlet 20 mm to the inside of both left and right sides and mark (4, 5); Remove outlet from gutter and place a mark 5 cm up from each side of gutter (6).
Draw a circle that intercepts the interior side marks and the 5 cm marks (7);
Cut out circle – see tip above (8); Place outlet back on gutter. Bend the back
tabs over the back of the gutter (9);
Use pliers to fully wrap tabs around back gutter edge (10); Use a rubber
mallet to softly hammer the inside lip of the hole until it bends smoothly
into the outlet opening (11, 12).
Mounting gutters
- Snap or draw a line on gutter installation surface (fascia or other) and include a slope of 5mm per meter (1/16” per foot).
- Affix brackets to fascia on line every 2 feet, starting at 1 foot from gutter start point (to allow for end bracket / outlet, gutter connector).
- Add end caps, outlets, corners to gutter lengths before installing. Be sure to mark and measure the lengths needed and outlet positions.
- Place gutter lengths in brackets and secure.
- Add gutter connectors.
Mounting gutters Mounting downpipes
- Measure and prepare downpipe, elbows and downpipe connectors to connect to gutter outlet.
- Consider other components in your preparations if using Y junction, collector box, s-curves, or leaf clean out pipes.
- Mark location for and drill pilot hole for downpipe screws. Generally, plan to use 2 downpipe brackets per downpipe length.
- Affix screws; affix bracket to screws.
- Affix downpipe, elbows and downpipe connectors into brackets
Mounting endcaps
Place rubber seal inside endcap (1); Be sure rubber seal is placed in endcap with three lips towards the gutter (2); Use rubber mallet to tap endcap onto gutters (3).
Be sure endcap is tight with gutter for proper seal (4); Use rubber mallet to gently bend endcap tab onto gutter (5, 6).
Connecting gutters
Insert gutter connectors into gutter sleeve (1); Connect gutters leaving 2 mm space for expansion of metal (2); Insert rubber gasket into gutter connector (3).
Center gutter connector over seam (4); Push down on both gutter lengths to make proper seal (5); Pull back tab, close clamp and close tab (6).
