Description

Balloon (Outlet Guard)

Our Gutter is manufactured by FloPlast, the UK market leaders. The Leaf Guard is placed into the neck of the running outlet, and it acts as a barrier to leaves, moss, grit and pine needles whilst still allowing water to pass. The guard cannot be seen from ground level, even on a bungalow, so it is only manufactured in black.

FAQs

How far apart should fascia brackets be fixed?

The spacings for each system are as follows:

Half Round, Square, Deepflow and Mini Gutters - Brackets at 1M centres
Ogee Gutters - Brackets at 800mm centres
Superdeep Industrial Gutters - Brackets at 600mm centres

Brackets should be fitted using two 5mm x 25mm screws (1 x 10). Screws can be either round head or countersunk.

Do I need a fascia bracket on either side of a fitting?

The only fittings that need to be supported by a fascia bracket are gutter angles and stop ends. These should be supported by a bracket positioned within 150mm (6) of the fitting.

Do I need to use silicone sealant on PVC gutter joints?

No, the joint is sealed by the small rubber strip that is contained within all gutter unions, outlets, angles and stop ends. As the gutter is clipped in place, the downward pressure applied by the fascia brackets forces the gutter down on to the seal, compressing it to create a watertight joint.

How does the downpipe connect to the guttering?

As with all of our Gutter systems, the downpipe pushes directly onto the bottom of the Running Outlet or Stopend Outlet - no other connector is required. No adhesive or sealant is needed to make the joint but we recommend that you should always support any downpipe with a pipe clip within 200mm of the outlet.

How far into the gutter should roof tiles project?

The bottom tile or slate of the roof covering should project at least half way into the gutter - the ideal distance is between half way and two thirds of the way over. The reason for this is that whenever rain runs down any type of roof, when it gets to the lower edge it clings to the tile or slate by capilliary action - this means that the water actually runs around the bottom edge and slightlly back up the rear of the tile before gravity allows it to drop into the gutter. If the bottom course of tiles or slates only just projects into the gutter there is a real danger that rainwater will fall behind the gutter, leading to damp roof timbers or brickwork.
