Installation & Maintenance Tips

This installation information is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. Always follow local building codes, safety practices, and professional methods. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.

Installation
  1. Verify roof pitch: Confirm roof deck is 1/3 pitch for proper #12 Shank application and Gutter positioning.
  2. Attach to sheeting: Secure Shank directly to roof decking material at appropriate locations along Gutter run.
  3. Connect Circle assembly: Bolt Half Round Circle to Shank using nut and bolt connection for secure attachment.
  4. Position Half Round Gutter: Place gutter into Circle assembly ensuring proper slope and alignment for drainage.
Maintenance
  1. Inspect deck attachment: Check Shank connections to roof sheeting annually for secure fastening and weather resistance.
  2. Monitor mechanical connections: Verify nut and bolt assemblies between Shanks and Half Round Circles remain tight.
  3. Assess pitch performance: Ensure 1/3 pitch application continues to provide proper Gutter positioning and water flow.

Compare Styles & Materials

#12 vs #11 Shank Applications

  • #12 Shank: Designed for 1/3 pitch roof deck installations, attaches directly to sheeting/decking material.
  • #11 Shank: Mounts to exposed rafter tails where no fascia board exists, perpendicular attachment to rafter side.
Roof Deck vs Exposed Rafter Mounting
  • Roof Deck Mounting: Uses #12 Shanks for direct sheeting attachments at specific pitch angles with nut and bolt Circle connections.
  • Exposed Rafter Mounting: Employs #11 Shanks for rafter tail side mounting when fascia boards are not present.

Best Choice: Choose a #12 Half Round Gutter Shank for 1/3 pitch roof deck installations requiring direct sheeting attachment. Must combine with Half Round Circles and complete with Slip Joints and other Half Round System components for full installation.
