Installation

1. Locate the eaves protector onto the top of the fascia board, making sure that the stop beads, below the vent, are tight up against the front face of the fascia board. If using slates or roof tiles that do not require the filler comb, fix the unit onto the fascia board using minimum 50mm corrosion resistant nails or screws through every other hole provided in the eaves protector ensuring both ends are fixed.

2. Locate the Vented Eaves Protector onto the interlock section of the previous section, if no filler comb is to be used then the unit must be nailed at each end.

3. If a filler comb is to be used the filler comb is placed with the combs facing outwards onto the locating lugs on the eaves protector and fixed through the holes using corrosion resistant nails. Note that the end of each comb unit must be fixed. Continue this process the whole length of the eaves.

3a. We recommend that if the filler comb is being used that it is fixed after the roof has been battened out prior to the commencement of the tiling. In this case the Eaves Protector would need to be fixed through every other fixing hole provided. The remaining nail holes in the unit are then used to fix the filler comb into the fascia board.

4. When laying the final roof covering if eaves combs are present make sure the fingers are pointing forwards.

RETRO FIT Lift the eaves course of tiles and make good any damage to underlay or rafter feet. Lay the Eaves Protector in place and fix, relay the existing underlay over the eaves protector and re tile. Full fixing instructions are given with each pack.
