FAQs
Can I use this angle for both internal and external corners?
Yes, the FloPlast 90 Degree Gutter Angle features a symmetrical design, meaning the same fitting can be used for both internal (concave) and external (convex) corners.
What is the purpose of the pre-fitted gutter seal retaining clip?
The clip holds the rubber seal firmly in place within the fitting, ensuring a watertight connection between the gutter sections and the angle, and simplifies the installation process.
How do I prevent the gutter angle from sagging?
You must support the gutter angle by positioning a fascia bracket within 150mm on both sides of the fitting. This prevents stress and sagging, especially under the weight of water or snow.
Is this angle compatible with all gutter systems?
This angle is specifically designed for the FloPlast Hi-Cap 115mm gutter system. While it may fit other systems, it is best used with components from the same FloPlast Hi-Cap range for optimal performance and sealing.
What is the benefit of the Hi-Cap system?
The Hi-Cap system offers improved water capacity compared to standard gutter systems, which helps to prevent overflow and leaks, especially during heavy rainfall.
How often should I clean my gutter angles?
It is recommended to clear debris from gutters and angles at least twice a year, typically in late spring and late autumn, to ensure proper water flow and prevent blockages.
Troubleshooting
Gutter angle is leaking at the joint.
Ensure the gutter seal is correctly seated and the retaining clip is fastened. Reapply silicone sealant to the joint if necessary and ensure the gutter sections are pushed fully into the fitting.
Gutter angle appears to be sagging.
Verify that fascia brackets are installed within 150mm on both sides of the angle fitting. Insufficient support is the primary cause of sagging.
Difficulty connecting gutter sections to the angle.
Check for any obstructions or debris inside the angle fitting or on the ends of the gutter sections. Ensure you are using the correct size gutter compatible with the 115mm system.
