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. Prep and plan: Set gutter pitch (about 1/4 in per 10 ft toward outlets). Confirm solid fastening substrate; repair or add blocking as needed.
  2. Layout spacing: Many installers space hangers about 24 in on center. Tighten to about 16 in near corners, miters, or in snow/ice or high-wind zones. Place a hanger within about 6 in of each outlet, miter, or end cap.
  3. Seat the front: Hook or roll the rounded front of the hanger into the gutter's front bead so the hanger sits flat and centered.
  4. Snap the rear clip: Rotate the hanger and snap the rear clip over the back hem. Verify full engagement along the hem.
  5. Fasten to Fascia: Drive exterior-grade corrosion-resistant screws through the hanger body into framing to a minimum embed of 3/4 in. Do not overdrive. Keep the gutter square to preserve pitch.
  6. Optional strap: Where Fascia fastening is limited or extra security is desired, use the built-in keyholes to add a roof-deck strap per your standard detail with corrosion-resistant fasteners.
  7. Final check: Sight the run for straightness and consistent pitch. Confirm clip engagement and fastener tightness. Water-test outlets.
Maintenance
  1. Seasonal check: After major storms, inspect for loose fasteners or shifted sections; snug screws as needed.
  2. Corrosion control: Replace damaged or corroded fasteners with aluminum or stainless screws.
  3. Gutter system health: Keep gutters and outlets clear to reduce load on hangers.
  4. Adjacent details: Verify drip edge alignment and any straps remain tight and leak-free.

Hidden Hanger with Rear Clip vs Alternatives

Rear Clip vs No-Clip
  • Rear Clip (this model): Fast snap-over engagement and added security at the back hem.
  • No-Clip: Reserved for tight drip edge or special retrofit conditions; available by customer request only.

Hidden Hanger with Rear Clip vs Spike and Ferrule
  • Rear-Clip Hidden Hanger: Cleaner appearance, strong front-bead engagement plus rear clip lock, resists loosening over time.
  • Spike and Ferrule: Visible fasteners; can loosen as wood expands and contracts; more maintenance long term.

Hangtite™ with Rear Clip vs generic Hidden Hangers
  • Hangtite™ with Rear Clip: Channel-formed self-bracing design, rounded front for smooth seating, snap-over rear clip, strap keyholes, proven holding power in manufacturer testing.
  • Generic: May lack reinforcement at stress points, fewer attachment options, inconsistent fit behind drip edge.

Best Choice: Choose the Hangtite™ Hidden Hanger with Rear Clip for most 5-in K-style installs. The snap-over rear clip and self-bracing channel design deliver a cleaner look and stronger long-term hold than spikes/ferrules or generic hangers, with optional strap keyholes for tough conditions.
