Manufacturer’s Advice: Fascia brackets should be installed at a maximum of 1m apart along each gutter length and within 150mm of any other joint or fitting. For optimum performance of Hi-Cap gutter systems, we recommend the use of either a FloPlast 68mm or 80mm round downpipe system. FloPlast recommend the use of lubricant on all gutter seals for ease of fitting and improved performance.
