Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Xtraflo Industrial Fascia Bracket is designed for building contractors and DIY homeowners who require a heavy-duty, reliable support system for the Xtraflo industrial guttering range. Its primary benefit is providing robust structural integrity to handle significant rain and snow loads; however, installers must be diligent in strictly following the 600mm maximum spacing requirements to avoid long-term sagging or system failure.

FAQs

Are these brackets compatible with standard domestic guttering?

No, these are specifically designed for the FloPlast Xtraflo industrial range and are not compatible with standard domestic gutter profiles.

What is the maximum spacing for these brackets?

Brackets should be spaced at intervals no greater than 600mm to ensure the system can support heavy rain and snow loads.

How many brackets do I need for a 4-meter length?

It is recommended to use 7 brackets for every 4-meter length of guttering.

Can I paint these brackets?

While the grey finish is durable, if you choose to paint them, ensure you use a plastic-adhesion primer designed for PVC components.

What type of screws should I use?

You should use high-quality, corrosion-resistant countersunk screws suitable for your specific fascia board material (e.g., stainless steel or galvanized).

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically engineered for high-flow industrial gutters
  • Easy-to-use snap-fit installation mechanism
  • High weight capacity for heavy snow and rain
  • Direct-to-fascia mounting ensures rigid alignment

Cons

  • Strict 600mm spacing requirement limits installation flexibility
  • Requires specific Xtraflo gutter profile compatibility
  • Requires professional-grade screws for proper anchorage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the fascia board is level and free of damage.
  2. Alignment: Mark your bracket positions at intervals of no more than 600mm.
  3. Mounting: Use two countersunk screws per bracket to secure it firmly to the fascia board.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
