Bending our Galv Steel Top-fix Rafter Bracket to the Pitch of Your Roof

The Infinity Galvanised Steel rainwater system range offers a choice of options for attaching guttering to your property – Available from stock in the 6 colours of the range*

Fascia Brackets

There are the short and long back fascia brackets that you screw to the fascia board – if your property has one. The shorter back (45mm vs 75mm) brackets are more suitable where the depth of the fascia is shallower.

Rise and Fall Brackets

Rise and Fall Brackets with a drive-in spike which allow you to drive the spike into the mortar between stones but use the thread of the ‘rise and fall’ screw to keep the height of the gutters level whether or not the entry point of the spikes can be kept level.

(* N.B. the ‘Rise-and-Fall’ bracket is only available from stock in uncoated galv but price and lead times for colour coated can be arrange on request or you could choose to use the ‘touch up paint spray’ after installation).

Side-fix rafter brackets

The Side-fix rafter brackets that are screwed to the side of the rafters under the roof tiles already have the twist applied to the long shaft.

Top-fix rafter brackets

Then there are the Top-fix rafter brackets that are mounted on the roof slope or battens, under the roof tiles, by their long shaft. We can supply a Gutter Rafter Bracket bending tool tp bend our Top-fix rafter support brackets (also known as ‘hangers’) to suit the roof pitch.

Please note this tool is only to bend the brackets and not to twist them. For that requirement, we sell the ‘side-fix rafter brackets’.
