FAQs

What tools do I need to install the FloPlast Gutter Union?

You will need a screwdriver or drill for attaching the union to the fascia board, and potentially a saw if you need to cut the guttering to size.

Are the screws included with the FloPlast Gutter Union?

No, the screws for attaching the union to the fascia board are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I know if I have installed the guttering correctly?

Ensure the guttering is clipped securely into the union, and aligned with the insertion marks inside the union. Check for any gaps or leaks.

What type of maintenance does the FloPlast Gutter Union require?

Regularly inspect the union for debris or blockages. Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary.

Can I use the FloPlast Gutter Union with other brands of guttering?

The FloPlast Gutter Union is designed for use with FloPlast deepflow guttering systems. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

What is the purpose of the rubber seal?

The rubber seal provides a watertight barrier, preventing leaks at the connection point.

How do I remove the guttering from the union?

Carefully unclip the front edge of the guttering from the union. This may require some gentle force.

Troubleshooting

Gutter is leaking at the union.

Check the gutter is correctly positioned within the union, and that the rubber seal is properly compressed. Re-clip the gutter if necessary. Ensure the guttering is aligned with the insertion marks.

Union is loose or detached.

Ensure the union is securely attached to the fascia board with screws. Check the clips are properly engaged. Replace the screws if they have become worn or damaged.

Guttering is not fitting into the union.

Make sure you have the correct size of union for the guttering. Check for any obstructions within the union that might be preventing the guttering from seating correctly.
