Bar Hanger
When used with a fascia apron, this
combination is ideal for remodeling
applications. The fascia apron should
be installed continuously along
the top of the fascia and nailed every
16" into the fascia. The fascia apron
can be installed level, parallel to the
roof edge or to a desired slope. The
gutter is then attached by sliding
the back leg of the gutter up under
the fascia apron. Once the gutter
is locked into the fascia apron
continuously, the bar hangers are
installed by engaging the front of the
bar hanger into the front lip of the
gutter and rotating the back of
the bar hanger down to rest on the
fascia apron. Bar hangers should be
fastened into a solid fascia board
(minimum 3/4" thickness) through
the fascia apron with two 1-1/4"
stainless steel screws or screw shank
aluminum nails. (Fig. 1)
Combination Strap Hanger
This hanger is ideal for re-roofing
or new construction applications.
The hanger should be fastened into
solid roof sheathing (minimum 1/2"
thickness). The gutter is attached by
engaging the front lip of the gutter
into the front lip on the hanger and
rotating the back leg of the gutter up
so that the top lip engages into two
hooks on the back of the hanger.
The back leg is then locked in place
by bending down the two tabs on
either side of the hanger. This hanger
will provide for a level installation,
assuming that the edge of the roof
and fascia are level. (Fig. 2)
NOTE: Hanger is to be installed on
roof sheathing under shingles.
Roof Hanger
This hanger is ideal for new
construction or remodeling work. It
can be used in applications where
there is no existing fascia board, a
crown molding exists, or the fascia is
attached to the rafter ends which are
not parallel to the walls of the home.
There is a flattened relief portion of
the aluminum rod of the roof hanger
that is designed to be bent to the pitch
of the roof. After the rod has been
bent to the pitch of the roof, the top
flattened portion of the rod should
be nailed into solid roof sheathing
(minimum 1/2" thickness). Once
the hangers are nailed into place,
they can be adjusted up or down by
loosening or tightening the two nuts
on either side of the hanger bracket
for a level or sloped installation.
(Fig. 3)
The gutter is attached by engaging
the front lip of the gutter into the
front of the hanger and rotating the
back leg of the gutter up so that the
top lip of the gutter engages on the
back leg of the hanger bracket. The
metal tab on the hanger is then bent
up over the back leg of the gutter to
lock the back leg of the gutter into
place. (Fig. 3)
NOTE: Hanger is to be installed on
roof sheathing under shingles.
