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. Cut Gutter angles: Cut both Gutter sections at 45° angles to form the inside corner joint; ensure clean, precise cuts for proper fit.
  2. Test fit assembly: Position Gutter sections to form 90° corner; verify alignment and adjust cuts if necessary before final installation.
  3. Apply sealant generously: Place continuous bead of high-quality Gutter Sealant along both Gutter edges where Strip Miter will overlap.
  4. Position Strip Miter: Center strip over the joint ensuring equal overlap on both Gutter runs; press firmly into sealant bed.
  5. Secure with fasteners: Install Pop rivets or Zip Screws every 2-3 inches along both edges of the Strip Miter for secure attachment.
  6. Seal and finish: Tool excess Sealant smooth and inspect for complete coverage; ensure watertight seal at all connection points.
Maintenance
  1. Inspect sealing: Check Strip Miter seams annually for cracks, gaps, or sealant failure; reseal promptly to prevent water infiltration.
  2. Monitor fasteners: Verify Rivets or Screws remain tight and corrosion-free; replace loose or damaged fasteners with aluminum alternatives.
  3. Clear debris: Remove accumulated material at corners during routine cleaning to prevent water backup and joint stress.
  4. Check alignment: Ensure Strip Miter remains properly positioned and hasn't shifted due to thermal expansion or settling.

Compare Styles & Materials

Inside K-Style Strip Miter vs Other Options

Strip Miter vs Box Miter
  • Strip Miter: Lower material cost, requires more labor and skill, more sealing work, adequate for budget applications and repairs.
  • Box Miter: Higher cost but faster installation, cleaner appearance, generally more leak-resistant, preferred for new installations.

Strip Miter vs Hand Miter
  • Strip Miter: Uses flat aluminum strip to cover joint, requires precise gutter cutting, suitable for standard 90° corners.
  • Hand Miter: Custom field fabrication for any angle, maximum flexibility, requires advanced skills and more time.

Best Choice: Use 5-Inch Inside Strip Miters for budget-conscious projects, repair applications, or when matching existing Strip Miter systems where cost is the primary concern. Choose Box Miters for new installations prioritizing appearance and long-term reliability. Select Hand Miters for custom angles or specialty applications requiring maximum flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.

How do Strip Miters compare to Box Miters in terms of leak resistance?

Strip Miters require more sealing work and skilled installation to achieve leak resistance comparable to Box Miters. When properly installed with quality sealant and adequate fastening, they can perform well, but Box Miters generally offer superior long-term reliability.

What skills are required to properly install Strip Miters?

Strip Miter installation requires ability to make precise 45° cuts, proper sealing techniques, and understanding of Gutter alignment. Less experienced installers may prefer Box Miters which are more forgiving and faster to install correctly.

Can Strip Miters be used for any corner angle?

Strip Miters are designed for standard 90° corners. While they can be bent slightly for minor angle variations, they're not suitable for significantly non-standard angles where Hand Miters would be more appropriate.

Why are Strip Miters only available in White and Brown?

The limited color selection reflects Strip Miters' position as an economical option. White and Brown cover the most common basic applications where budget considerations outweigh extensive color matching requirements. 30° White is the best option for any Strip Miter you plan to paint.

Are Strip Miters suitable for new construction projects?

Strip Miters are best suited for budget projects, repairs, or situations where cost is the primary concern. For new construction, most contractors prefer Box Miters for their superior appearance, easier installation, and better long-term performance.
