FAQs

What is a running outlet?

A running outlet connects the guttering to the downpipe, allowing water to flow away from the roof.

Where can the running outlet be installed?

It can be installed at either the centre or the end of the run of guttering.

What downpipe does the outlet connect to?

The outlet has a push fit connection to the 50mm mini gutter round downpipe.

How do I fix the outlet to the fascia board?

The outlet has moulded screwholes to enable it to be fixed back to the fascia board.

What if I install the outlet at the end of the gutter run?

You would need to use a short piece of gutter with an external stopend to extend the gutter past the end of the building.

What tools do I need to install the outlet?

You may need a saw to cut the guttering, a screwdriver, and a level to ensure proper alignment.

Troubleshooting

Water Leaks

Check all connections. Ensure the outlet is securely attached to the fascia board and the downpipe is properly connected. Re-seal if necessary.

Remove debris by hand or with a brush. Rinse with water to remove any remaining blockage.
