Hidden Gutter Bracket
|
Our 5", 6", and 8" gutter bracket can be installed by two different methods. Whichever you choose, we recommend a general spacing of the brackets every 32" on center.
Extra strength can be achieved by placing the brackets closer together. This is a good idea for sections of the country dealing with heavy snow loads. Areas not dealing with heavy ice or snow can space the brackets further apart. The brackets are available in .063 aluminum or .060 stainless steel. Stainless steel brackets are compatible with copper, aluminum, and Galvalume gutter. The aluminum brackets are applicable with both aluminum and Galvalume gutter system. |

Hanger Unit |
|
Gutter Brackets hung from the roof with a rod are called hanger units. Existing roofs, with a standard shingle installation, will have the rod placed over the first course of shingles and the flat part of the rod secured with 1½" screws under the second row of shingles. A new roof installation allows the rods to be placed under the roofing material, especially important for tile or slate roofs. The stainless steel rods are shipped straight and need to be bent onsite. Aluminum rods can be bent by hand. A rod bending tool can be rented to consistently bend the stainless steel rods to the same angle. The rod bender deposit is refundable upon the return of the rod bender. The bracket tab can be bent over the back hem of the gutter for a free floating installation. Aluminum tabs can be bent by hand and the stainless steel tabs are bent with a tab bender (included). Hanger units are shipped with 1½" stainless steel screws and include the 2 stainless steel nuts used with the rods. |
Clip and Screw
|
|
|
|
A gutter bracket installed with a tie strap is referred to as a clip and screw installation. The bracket is clipped into the gutter , screwed through the existing hole in the back of the bracket, through the gutter and into the fascia with a 1½" stainless steel screw. Another 1½" stainless steel screw through the back of the tie strap and into the fascia keeps the gutter plumb and extremely strong. |
