FAQs

What size guttering does this bracket fit?

This bracket is specifically designed for 112mm half-round guttering systems.

What material is the union bracket made of?

The product description does not specify the exact material, but it is made by FloPlast, known for durable and high-quality construction.

How do I clean the union bracket?

Clean the bracket with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

How do I install the gutter into the union?

Insert the gutter sections into the union, aligning them with the insertion marks. Clip the gutter into place by inserting the back edge first and then gently pulling the front edge down until it clicks.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a screwdriver or drill to attach the union bracket to the fascia board, and potentially a saw or cutter to prepare the gutter sections (if needed).

What is the purpose of the insertion marks inside the union?

The insertion marks show exactly where the gutter should be positioned to ensure a proper seal and accommodate expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.

What type of screws should I use?

Use countersunk screws suitable for exterior use and the material of your fascia board.

Troubleshooting

Gutter is leaking at the union.

Check the alignment of the gutter sections within the union. Ensure the clips are properly engaged and that the rubber seal is compressed evenly. Tighten the screws if necessary.

The union bracket is loose.

Check the screws securing the union bracket to the fascia board. Tighten them if loose, or replace them if damaged. Ensure that the gutter is correctly positioned.

Difficulty clipping the gutter into the union.

Ensure the gutter is properly aligned with the insertion marks. Check for any obstructions or debris in the union. Apply gentle pressure to the front edge until the clip snaps into place.
