Traditional Quad Gutter
Traditional Quad Gutter is the profile to select if you want to give your home that colonial look.
Concealed brackets give Traditional Quad Gutter a smooth unobstructed appearance and construction from ZINCALUME® steel ensures strength and long service. Traditional Quad Gutter is available with or without overflow slots to suit your preference.
INSTALLATION
Fix a bracket at the high end of fall first, then fix a bracket at the low end of the fall. Stringline a common point on both brackets and install the remaining brackets at the required spacings, (not exceeding 1200mm) with common points on the stringline. The brackets are best attached to the fascia with two 40x0.375mm helical thread galvanised nails placed diagonally opposite.
ATTACHING GUTTER TO BRACKETS
Hook the front of the gutter onto the end of the long arm of the brackets and slide the back of the 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 a metal fascia is simplified by using the special spring clip which snaps over the metal fascia and has six teeth at alternating heights where the back of the gutter bead snaps into. Fall of gutter to the downpipe outlet is determined by the height of the gutter attached to these teeth. The face of the gutter is then supported by overstraps.
SUPPORT RECOMMENDATIONS
Gutter brackets should be placed at Stop Ends and between Stop Ends at intervals of not more than 1200mm. Where Metal Fascia is used, brackets must be placed within 150mm either side of the rafter brackets.
STOP ENDS
Pre-formed Stop Ends provide a neat finish to straight runs of gutter. These Stop Ends require less labour and skill than site formed ends. Both methods of end stopping require the use of rivets and a roofing type silicon sealant.
EXTERNAL CORNERS
When cutting the gutter lengths allow an extra 135mm past the outside Fascia. Cut the gutter ends at 45 degrees as shown. Fix an external corner over the mitred cuts, then fix using rivets or screws and silicon.
INTERNAL CORNERS
When cutting gutter lengths allow for the gutter to go right up the adjoining Fascia. Cut gutter ends at 45 degrees as shown. Assemble in a similar manner to external corners.
GUTTER JOINING
Reduce the top rib by 25mm to allow for a slip joint. Slide the reduced end into the other end. Apply a suitable sealant and blind rivet sections together.
