GUTTER ASSEMBLY
GUTTER PREPARATION
To establish the inside gutter length ‘A’ (Figure 8.0), measure
from the back of the back channel to the outside of the front
fascia and subtract 5mm for the mitre bracket. To establish
the inside gutter length for units with a deck overhang,
subtract 55mm from the total roof sheet length. To establish
inside gutter length ‘B’ for the front gutter, measure the
length of the front fascia beam and subtract 5mm for each
mitre bracket.
Attach the stop ends to the side gutters with four rivets per
stop end (Figure 9.0). Remove any swarf and waterproof
with silicone.
On the gutter ends that will form a corner, using the
template provided at the back of this book, mark out and cut
a 45 degree mitre (Figure 9.1). Fit the mitre brackets using
3.2mm sealed rivets to fasten the mitre to the gutter, then
waterproof with silicone.
GUTTER OUTLET ASSEMBLY
Before attaching the gutter mark the position of the outlet.
Place the downpipe in line with the column and mark and
cut a 75mm diameter hole in the base of the gutter near
the back edge. Insert the downpipe outlet from the inside
of the gutter and waterproof with silicone (Figure 9.2).
CAPPING
BEAM CAPS
To prevent moisture from entering the beams and for
aesthetics, any beams with exposed ends require end caps
to be fitted. Align the end cap and push into the exposed
beam end (Figure 8.0).
POST CAPS
If Outback columns are used, the post caps can be fitted
over the post-beam connection. Apply a small amount of
silicone to back of post cap, align the two lugs with the two
exposed holes of the post bracket and push firmly (Figure 8.1)
BEAM FILLERS
If a downpipe is to run flush with a column, place a notched
beam filler over the exposed post bracket and use silicone
to hold it in place (Figure 8.2).
