Determine the length of bottom of gutter

The gutter length should be 130mm longer than the eave length when the gutter has a 90° corner; the gutter length should be 54mm longer than the eave length when the gutter has a 135° corner. Each joining part length is 50mm if the gutter is piecewise connection.

Gutter Connection

Cut the gutter, make the gutter connected cut, connect the gutter with 4mm×16mm pulling rivet on the ground of the roof.

Gutter Installation

  • The maximum interval between two hangers should be less than 600mm.

3.Use 4.2mm twist drill to penetrate the inside wall of gutter through the hanger hole. 

4.Fix the gutter on the eave with 4mm×400 stainless steel skew which penetrates through the hanger hole.

5.Inner and outer corner should have a trial assembly firstly on the roof of the ground. Firstly connect the corner to one side of the gutter than adjust the angle, secondly the other side of gutter.
