Fascia brackets, also known as gutter brackets or gutter clips, act as the primary support system ...Fascia brackets, also known as gutter brackets or gutter clips, act as the primary support system for your guttering. Designed for the Xtraflo industrial range, this bracket is screwed directly to the fascia board using two countersunk screws. To install, slide the back edge of the gutter under the rear clip and pull the front edge down until it clicks into place. Due to the weight capacity requirements for rain or snow loads, these brackets should be spaced at intervals no greater than 600mm, with a recommended usage of 7 brackets for every 4m length of guttering.

Troubleshooting
Gutter clicks out of place
Check that the bracket is not bent and that the gutter is fully engaged in the rear clip before pulling down the front edge.
Bracket feels loose on the fascia
Verify that you are using high-quality countersunk screws and that the fascia board is not suffering from wood rot or damage.
Gutter sagging between brackets
Increase the number of brackets to decrease the distance between supports; ensure you are not exceeding the 600mm interval maximum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the fascia board is level and free of damage.
Alignment: Mark your bracket positions at intervals of no more than 600mm.
Mounting: Use two countersunk screws per bracket to secure it firmly to the fascia board.
Engagement: Slide the rear edge of the Xtraflo gutter under the back clip, then pull the front edge downward until you hear an audible click.
Maintenance: Periodically check that the screws have not loosened due to thermal expansion or building vibration and clear debris from the gutter track to prevent excess weight buildup.
