The bracket is screwed to the fascia board using two countersunk screws (we recommend 5 x 25mm or 5 x 30mm). The gutter is then clipped in place by first sliding the back edge in under the rear clip and pulling gently down on the front edge to clip the gutter into position. Deepflow fascia brackets should be spaced at a maximum of 1m centres, although if you live in an area that is prone to heavy snowfall we suggest reducing the centres to a maximum of 800mm and even as close together as 400mm - heavy, regular snowfall snow does exert a large load on a gutter. This range of High Capacity guttering has been designed to drain even the largest roofing areas efficiently. The deep profile can accommodate a larger capacity of rainwater, ideal for buildings with large or steep roofs. The higher flow rate and deep capacity enable the amount of downpipes to be kept to a minimum.
