STEP 1:
Install drop outlet (K3) at predetermined downspout location. Install a bracket (K5) 
at highest point on fascia board at farthest point from drop outlet. Always slope 
down to downspout location. Mark chalk line and position brackets every 24". 
Slope should be 1/4" per 10 ft. End cap (K2 or K8) may be attached directly to 
drop outlet if at end of a gutter run. If gutter continues around corner, position 
brackets at same height and no closer than 12" from corner.
STEP 2:
Lightly sand surfaces to receive cement with 100 grit paper. Surfaces should be 
clean and dry. Minimum temperature should be 32° F. Drying time of cement is 
approximately 30 seconds. Use Plastmo cement only. Install end caps while still 
on ground. Small guides will keep it in place while cement dries. For corners apply 
cement in zig-zag pattern from front to back.
STEP 3:
Install gutter section with attached corner (K4 or K6) and/or end cap (K2 or K8) 
onto brackets. Push rear edge of gutter up into bracket then snap front top of 
gutter over front tip.
STEP 5:
Join gutter sections at roof level. Apply cement on cleaned connectors (K7) from 
front to back. Hook connector onto rear edge of gutter, and then press connector 
onto front of gutter so “Lock Rim” snaps into place.
STEP 7:
Make sure all cemented fittings are at 
least 2" away from brackets.
Install elbow (D2) onto drop outlet. Measure downspout and cut to size between 
elbows. Install third elbow at bottom of downspout using downspout bracket (D3) 
as shown. Also install downspout bracket at top of downspout and at downspout 
connector (if necessary). 
STEP 8:
On particularly long runs you should 
install an expansion connector (K9). 
This is only needed when there is no 
downspout, therefore, no drop outlet, 
and a corner at either end of gutter run 
and there is more than 25 ft. of gutter 
between corners. See the instructions 
included with unit.
STEP 4:
See temperature lines inside the drop outlet for proper placement of gutter. 
Note: Do not cement gutter to drop outlet. Second side of corner can now be 
cemented to clean surface of gutter. Engage gutter by pushing it up the back edge 
of corner, then push front of gutter so that “Lock Rim” snaps into place.
