STEP 1:
Install drop outlet (U3) at predetermined downspout location. Install a bracket (U6)
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 (U2) 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 (U4) and/or end cap (U2) 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 (U5) 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.
STEP 6:
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). Note: Do not cement elbows or downspout.
STEP 4:
Insert gutter 3 1/2" into the drop outlet for proper placement. 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.
