FAQs

What size gutter does this union bracket fit?

This union bracket is designed for 112mm FloPlast Half Round guttering.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Ensure the gutter is aligned with the internal insertion marks and that the clips are fully engaged. The downward pressure from the clips compresses the rubber seal evenly around the gutter.

Can I use this with different brands of guttering?

This bracket is specifically designed to work with FloPlast Half Round guttering systems. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

How is the bracket attached to the house?

The bracket is fixed back to the fascia board using two countersunk screws.

What does 'Cast Iron Effect' mean?

It means the bracket is designed to visually resemble traditional cast iron gutters, offering a classic aesthetic, but is made from modern, durable materials.

Will extreme temperatures affect the seal?

The internal insertion marks are designed to accommodate gutter expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, helping to maintain seal contact.

Troubleshooting

Gutter joint is leaking.

Check that the gutter is correctly aligned with the internal insertion marks and that the clips have fully engaged. Inspect the rubber seal for damage or debris and ensure it is seated correctly.

Bracket does not seem secure.

Ensure two countersunk screws are used to fix the bracket firmly to the fascia board. Verify that the gutter clips have snapped securely into place.

Difficulty clipping gutter into place.

Ensure the back edge of the gutter is properly seated first before attempting to snap the front edge down. Check for any obstructions in the bracket or gutter edge.
