Gutter transition
- Ensure both gutters around the transition are clean and dry. Blow dry with heat gun if damp
- Continue to roll the first liner to the edge of the transition ensuring the liner is pressed firmly into the gutter creases. This will prevent air pockets and form a solid base to weld the transition to the liner
- Pin the liner tight into the crease lines either side of the gutter. Two pins on the gutter sole 35mm from the crease line and two pins on the gutter slope 35mm from the crease line
- Using the 200mm rule pin the liner every 200mm across the gutter sole and up the gutter slopes if required
- Ensure Sharmans Fixing Caps are installed over all fixings prior to welding
- Address the second liner to the edge of the transition and repeat the above for fixing the liner
- Place the transition over the top of both liners ready for welding
- The weakest point of any weld is the crease lines on the gutter sole. Weld at these points first ensuring the transition is pressed firmly into the gutter creases
- Fully weld the transition to both gutter soles followed by all four gutter slopes
- Allow the transition to cool before probe testing the welds
- Any un-welded area’s will have to be re-welded and again probe tested once cool
