Troubleshooting
Stop end does not fit snugly
Verify the gutter dimensions are precisely 125mm x 76mm half-round. Ensure no debris is obstructing the gutter end. Gently adjust the gutter or stop end if minor misalignment is present.
Water leakage at the joint
Ensure the stop end is fully inserted. Apply a high-quality, exterior-grade gutter sealant along the seam between the stop end and the gutter for a watertight seal. Check for any damage to the stop end or gutter.
Difficult to install
Ensure the gutter end is clean and free of obstructions. A light tap with a rubber mallet might help seat the stop end. If resistance is significant, re-confirm compatibility and check for any internal damage to the gutter.
