Copper Installation Instructions - Copper Gutter

1. Gutter brackets should be fixed to fascia board at 900mm centres using copper nails or other appropriate fixings.
2. Gutter lengths should be loosely laid in to bracket to calculate correct length and cut appropriately using a fine tooth saw.
3. Outlets should be placed in position and secured by hooking under the front scroll of the gutter and roll in to place. The tabs on the back of the outlet should be folded down securely to fix the outlet in place. The outlet hole 75mm diameter should be drilled using a tank cutter. The hole should be de-burred.
4. Gutters should be joined using a joint strip. Hook the joint strip under the front scroll of the gutter and roll to follow the gutter profile. Keep the joint tight to the gutter to compress the rubber gaskets. Ensure the joint is equally spaced over the adjoining gutter/ component sections. The tabs on the back of the joint should be folded down securely to fix the joint in place. Gutter internal and external angles should be joined the same way.
5. Once gutter length is complete, sit gutter firmly in to gutter brackets. Fold down tabs on front and rear of fascia bracket to secure gutter in place.
6. Stop ends are handed and are fixed by silver soldering. Each joining surface should be cleaned with wire wool. Flux should be applied to joining surfaces. Heat using a blow torch until flux begins to bubble. Apply solder to joint gap to seal. Please note discolouration of the gutter will occur due to the heat applied. This will disappear in time as the gutter weathers.
