BOX GUTTER INSTALLATION
Apply a continuous bead of appropriate
sealant to the front and inner legs of the
window frames. Lift insulated box gutter
into position – ensure it has adequate
support whilst fitting.
1
Place eaves beam section – with
undergutter trim attached – onto the side
frames. Seal the joint between the eaves
beam and box gutter.
2
Whilst ensuring that its level, drill through
the back edge of the aluminium at 600mm
centres. Bolt to the house wall using
masonry anchors that are suitable for the
substrate.
3
Box gutter foam to be cut back 70mm
to enable the box gutter to sit flush on
the frames.
SECTION 8
Either peel back or knife off a small
amount of the insulation where the cleat
is to be fixed. Drill a 4.5mm pilot hole and
then fix the cleats with the two M5 12mm
taptite screws provided.. The protruding
taptite screws will need trimming back
prior to fixing the adaptor ( alternatively,
when its time to insert the adaptor, undue
the taptites, drill a pilot hole through the
adaptor and then re-screw the taptites and
fully seal).
4
Mark out and grind a channel in the mason-
ry for the flashing – blow out any dust in the
channel.
5
Now seal the internal joint between the
eaves beam and box gutter and back
point the leading edge of the box gutter
where it sits on the side frames.Knife off
a small section of the undergutter trim in
preparation for the insertion of the adaptor.
6
Now, from the bag in which the adaptor is
supplied, take the special tube of sealant,
Gutterbond. Apply a generous bead of it
evenly across the mouth of the box gutter,
20mm back from the front edge.
7
Slide the adaptor into the aluminium box
gutter, raising up its front edge to utilise the
unique `snow plough` effect. This spreads
the Gutterbond evenly under the adaptor.
Push the adaptor firmly up to its end stop,
so that it will line through with the Classic
gutter attached to the eaves beam.
8
With the adaptor tight to the end stop, turn
the toggles upwards to firmly press the
adaptor into the Gutterbond.
