Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure all components are present and undamaged. Remove the protective film from the steel gutters just prior to installation.
- Attach the steel gutter fascia brackets to the building's fascia board at appropriate intervals (typically 500-600mm apart).
- Install the gutter lengths into the fascia brackets, ensuring a secure fit.
- Connect gutter lengths using appropriate connectors or by overlapping if designed for it.
- Install the stopends at the open ends of the gutter run.
- Fit the gutter outlet where the downpipe will connect.
- For optimal drainage, install the gutter system with a slight fall towards the outlet, ranging from 1 in 600 to 1 in 350.
- Attach the downpipe to the outlet.
Compatibility:
This kit is designed as a complete system. Components are specific to the Galeco Steel Half Round Gutter system. Ensure compatibility if integrating with existing or different gutter systems.
Care:
- Periodically clear debris from the gutters and outlets to prevent blockages.
- Inspect the system annually for any signs of damage or wear.
- Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the copper effect finish.
