O ption 1. Install gutter-hood 2-3 inches past end of gutter. Cut away the nose portion extending past the end cap. Trim the excess apron to edge of roof. Bend flap downward 90°, and trim along roof edge.
O ption 2. Use template* (above), to transfer dimensions onto material. Trim and bend piece to fit profile. Bend flange 90° and install a 3/8" self-drilling stainless screw at each end and bottom tab.
M iter. For hip roofs or returns, trim 1st section 50° and 2nd 45°. Butt the two sections along miter line. The extra 5° is used to conceal any gap between the miters and can be bent over to fit the contour of the ridge caps. Slide top edges under ridge cap. Once satisfied, fasten sections into brackets. Install splash guard* using
3/8" self-drilling stainless screws.
V alley construction will vary from job to job. For typical installation, run 1st section past the miter line and trim the next piece even with the miter line.
To prevent water run-off, add a splash guard* as shown using 3/8" self-drilling stainless screws.
Two common installations for Trim-A-Gutter ™ are fascia and roof mount. What style you use will depend on preference and job dimensions. Use these details as a guide in choosing. Note: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure work conforms to building code and sound gutter/roof installation practices.
New Gutter Installation-Fascia Mount
1 Hang gutters as you normally would using Trim-A-Gutter ™ brackets & anchor screws. Design gutter-hood to terminate either at the top of fascia with a 90° flange (A) leaving room for drip edge, or (B), make bend 180° downward leading into gutter. Create a template of your profile as previously explained. Follow steps
2-8, as they apply, in the Existing Gutter Installation section.
2 Next, install drip edge, underlayment and roofing per manufacturers instructions. Note regarding miters and end-caps: Due to the wide range of applications seen in residential gutters and roofing, it would be virtually impossible to outline detailed steps for making and installing them all here. We recommend using scrap to make practice bends until you are satisfied with your results.
