FAQs

What type of screws should I use to fix the union to the fascia board?

Use countersunk screws suitable for the fascia board material. The specific screw size will depend on the thickness of the fascia board; consult local building codes or a hardware specialist for recommendations.

How do I clean the FloPlast Deepflow Gutter Union Bracket?

Clean the union with a soft cloth and soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.

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

The insertion marks guide the precise positioning of the guttering, ensuring a secure seal and proper alignment for optimal water flow.

Can I use this union with other brands of guttering?

No, this union is specifically designed for use with FloPlast Deepflow/ Hi-Cap guttering systems. Using it with other brands may result in an improper fit and potential leaks.

How often should I inspect the guttering unions?

Inspect the unions at least twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall, to check for debris, ensure proper alignment, and identify any potential issues.

Troubleshooting

Guttering leaks at the union.

Ensure the guttering is fully inserted into the union, aligning with the insertion marks. Check that the clips are properly engaged and that the rubber seal is making a tight contact. If needed, remove the union and reseat the guttering, ensuring a snug fit.

The union is difficult to clip into place.

Make sure the guttering edges are clean and free of debris. Ensure the guttering is aligned correctly before attempting to clip the front edge into position. You may gently tap the front edge with a rubber mallet if needed, being careful not to damage the union or guttering.
