• To position the running outlet accurately, hold a plumb line against the fascia directly over the drain.

• Mark the position on the fascia with a pencil.

• Fit the outlet no more than 50mm below the level of the roof tiles.

• Fit a fascia bracket just below the top of the fascia board at one end of the run of guttering (opposite end of the outlet)

• Tie a plumb line (string) around the base of the bracket.

• Stretch the plumb Line from the bracket along the fascia board and tie it to the outlet.

• Using a spirit level, check that there is a fall towards the outlet (1.350 is recommended) to encourage water to drain efficiently.

• Mark the position of the fascia brackets, spacing them no more than 800mm apart (600mm in areas of heavy snowfall) and no more than 150mm from any angle or stopend.

• Fix the rest of the fascia brackets

RECOMMENDED: Use two 25mm brass or zinc screws when fitting fascia brackets.

• Cut the last section of gutter to fit using a hacksaw and fit a stopend.

• Starting at the outlet, fit the first length of gutter using the �back to front� rule (see below).

• Fit a union bracket at the other end of the first length and screw it into the fascia, then fit the next length of gutter into it.

• Continue joining lengths.

• Make sure all joints line up with the insertion depth marked in the fittings.

�Back to Front� Rule: Tilt the gutter to fit under the back clip and snap in at the front.

• Hold a downpipe clip centrally over the line and mark the fixing holes on the wall with a pencil.

• Repeat down the wall, spacing pipe clips no more than 1.8m apart.

• Drill the fixing holes.

RECOMMENDED: Use wall plugs when fitting pipe clip screws to ensure that the application is secure.

• Working from the top downwards, install the downpipe. If additional lengths of downpipe are required, join using a socket and pipe clip

• Leave a 10mm gap between the end of the pipe and the bottom of the pipe socket to allow for expansion.

• Fix a pipe clip over the joint.

• Fit the pipe clips to the downpipe and screw them into the wall.

RECOMMENDED: Secure pipe/socket clips with two 30mm screws.

• Fit the shoe at the bottom of the downpipe so that it directs water into the drain, if required.

• Secure the joint with a pipe clip.
