The bracket is screwed to the fascia board using two countersunk screws. The gutter is then clipped in place by first sliding the back edge in under the rear clip and pulling gently down on the front edge to clip the gutter into position. Deepflow fascia brackets should be spaced at a maximum of 1m centres, although if you live in an area that is prone to heavy snowfall we suggest reducing the centres to a maximum of 800mm and even as close together as 400mm - heavy, regular snowfall snow does exert a large load on a gutter. Our range of High Capacity guttering has been designed to drain even the largest roofing areas efficiently. The deep profile can accommodate a larger capacity of rainwater, ideal for buildings with large or steep roofs. The higher flow rate and deep capacity enable the amount of downpipes to be kept to a minimum.

FAQs
What is the recommended spacing for the fascia brackets?
Deepflow fascia brackets should be spaced at a maximum of 1m apart. For areas with heavy snowfall, reduce the spacing to a maximum of 800mm or even as close as 400mm.
What type of screws should I use?
Use countersunk screws suitable for the material of your fascia board. The length should be sufficient to securely attach the brackets.
Are these brackets compatible with all types of guttering?
No, these brackets are specifically designed for FloPlast High Capacity guttering systems.
How do I clean the guttering and brackets?
Remove any debris, such as leaves and twigs, from the gutters. You can use a brush or a hose to clean both the guttering and the brackets.
What is the purpose of the clips?
The clips on the brackets are designed to securely hold the guttering in place. The back edge of the guttering slides under the rear clip, and the front edge is clipped into place, providing stability.
Can I install these brackets myself?
Yes, the installation process is straightforward. However, if you are unsure about any aspect of the installation, it is recommended to consult a professional.

Troubleshooting
Guttering is sagging or detaching.
Check the spacing of the brackets. Ensure they are installed at the recommended intervals (maximum 1m, or less in areas with heavy snowfall). Tighten or replace any loose or damaged brackets.
Water is overflowing from the gutters.
Inspect the guttering and downspouts for blockages (leaves, debris). Clean them out as needed. Ensure that the guttering is correctly aligned and angled to direct water flow towards the downspouts.
Bracket is not securely attached to the fascia board.
Ensure the screws are the correct type and length for your fascia board material. Tighten the screws or replace them if they are stripped.
