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
ap downward 90°, and trim along roof edge.
O
ption 2. Use template* (above), to transfer dimensions onto material. Trim
and bend piece to t prole. Bend ange 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 t the contour of the ridge caps. Slide top edges under
ridge cap. Once satised, 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°
ange (A) leaving room for drip edge, or (B), make bend 180° downward leading
into gutter. Create a template of your prole as previously explained. Follow steps
2-8, as they apply, in the Existing Gutter Installation section.

Next, install drip edge, underlayment and roong per manufacturers instruc-
tions. Note regarding miters and end-caps: Due to the wide range of applica-
tions seen in residential gutters and roong, 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 satised with your results.
