BOX GUTTER INSTALLATION
SECTION 8
Use the balance of the Gutterbond to back
point any gaps at the front edge.
10
Seal the top and bottom edges of the alu-
minium box gutter, where it abuts the house
wall.
11
Before lifting into position,
assemble the fascia board
and undercladding. Offer up
the undercladding rear legs,
and knock up into position.
Lastly locate the upper legs
of the fascia board on to the box gutter.
Finally seal the undercladding against the
house wall.

BOX GUTTER JOINTING
Check surfaces are dry, clean and grease
free. De-grease if necessary. Heat both the
sealing tape and the box gutter with a heat
gun and position the tape over the joint.
Press the tape firmly across the joint of the
sleeve and the box gutter ensuring there
are no air pockets.
4
Now seal over all the exposed bolt
heads, on the inside and outside of the
box gutter.
5
Thoroughly clean the mating parts using
wire wool. Surfaces must be clean and
grease free. Apply a generous bead of low
modulus neutral cure to the pre-fixed in
-
ternal sleeve along the entire face of the
sleeve.
1
Drill through the top edge of the aluminium
box gutter at 600mm centres .A fixing must
be positioned within 50mm each side of
the joint. Offer second half of the box gutter
up to the internal sleeve and push firmly on.
Fasten this second box gutter run to the
host wall with masonry anchors suitable
to the substrate. Ensure both sections are
level and flush.
2
Drill 6.5mm holes through the box gutter
and sleeve (at positions shown, ensuring
both halves of the box gutter are flush to
-
gether) and fix using the bolts, nuts and
washers provided and in the order shown
. Trim any excess off the bolt head before
fitting the internal cladding as it may foul.
3
ALL box gutters (especially those with
tie bars or joints) MUST be supported.
We recommend several types of support
for box gutters including brick piers.
Fitting a conservatory box gutter without
adequate support will lead to structural
failure. Please take the correct steps
BEFORE installation.
