Common Uses of this product

Gutter system for steel and tile roofs. More suited in domestic applications

Warnings

• It is important gutters slope towards the outlets (a minimum gutter fall of 1 in 500 is recommended). Without this slope, 'ponding' may occur, reducing the life of your gutter
• When installing gutters, remove any metal particles or debris at the end of the day to prevent staining or corrosion
• Lead and copper are not compatible with ZINCALUME® steel or COLORBOND® steel
• Do not install galvanised gutters with a ZINCALUME® steel or COLORBOND® prepainted steel roof. Galvanised gutters are only suitable with galvanised steel roof
• The protective plastic film should be stripped off immediately on installation
• Read full details on Guidelines for using COLORBOND® steel & ZINCALUME® steel.

Fall
Install gutters with a generous fall to avoid ponding (which reduces gutter life), but the fall should not be so steep as the be obvious to the casual observer. Fall on house guttering is often about 1:250 (12mm in 3000mm), though a steeper fall of 30:3000 should give the gutter a longer life.

Downpipe Design
The downpipe size and spacing should be determined in accordance with AS/NZ3500.3.2:1998 National plumbing and drainage: Part 3.2: Stormwater drainage - Acceptable solutions.

Adverse Conditions
If these products are to be used in marine, severe industrial, or unusually corrosive environments, ask for advice from our information line.

Lead, copper, bare steel and green or some chemically treated timber are not compatible with this product; thus don’t allow any contact of the product with those materials, nor discharge of rainwater from them onto the product. If there are doubts about the compatibility of other products being used, ask for advice from our information line.

Sealed Joints
For sealed joints use screws or rivets and neutral cure silicone sealant branded as suitable for use with galvanised or COLORBOND® steel and ZINCALUME® steel.

Maintenance
Areas not cleaned by natural rainfall should be washed down every six months.

Clean Up
Remove all plastic cover strips from product and dispose of correctly. Sweep all metallic swarf and other debris from roof areas and gutters at the end of each day and at the completion of the installation. Failure to do so can lead to surface staining when the metal particles rust.
