Gutter bracket
Gutter brackets , also known as gutter irons or hooks , are curved assembly elements for fastening the gutter .
execution
The gutter irons are attached to the eaves plank , rafter or wall. The holders must be sufficiently dimensioned to be able to absorb the load without deformation. DIN EN 1462 / DIN 612 divides the gutter brackets into four stress series and derives the maximum permissible distances from this. It is attached to wood with gutter iron nails .
The position of the gutter iron is responsible for the correct slope of the gutter. The escape is in the assembly by pinching ensured today increasingly through laser alignment .
In the traditional design, the gutter irons are lowered in order to be flush with the surface and to enable the roof covering to be laid in the same way. For this purpose, a groove is chiseled or milled into the eaves plank. This avoids a selective high covering and the resulting leaks. The gutter is usually installed by hanging it loosely. The channels are secured in position with brackets or flexible straps.
In addition to traditional assembly, manufacturer-specific system solutions (e.g. mounting rails) that minimize assembly work are increasingly being used.
