  • Gutter System Installation Standards Product Specification
    Gutter System Installation Standards Product Specification Property of: Spectra Metal Sales Gutters and Leaf Protection Introduction A Rain Gutter System starts with a trough, called a gutter, which collects rainwater from the roofline of a house and diverts it away from the structure, using elbows and downspouts. • The purpose of this diversion is to prevent water flow off the roof edge which can cause structural damage over time to the walls and/or foundation of a house. • The gutter system is more important to the exterior of your home than the actual paint, siding, or even windows, because it protects your home from rot, mold, mildew, and flooding. • This water damage, without a gutter system, occurs slowly, spreads quickly, and is unnoticeable until the damage repair is substantial. • For your gutter system to work properly, it must be able to empty out the water faster than it fills up. In order to ensure the proper flow of water, a few are vital to the success of the overall gutter system: 1) Seamless gutters 2) Gutter and downspout sizing 3) Slope or pitch of gutter 4) Downspout placement 5) Keeping the gutters debris free 6) Using quality parts and accessories 2 Gutter Specifications Scope of Guide A) The Rain-carrying system consists of all necessary components to complete installation with products manufactured or endorsed for use by Spectra Metal Sales. System Components A) Gutters shall be made of 3105-H24 aluminum and shall be continuous and seamless with a minimum thickness gauge of .032” or .027” (+/- .002” nominal). B) All pre-painted components will have an approved SMS Finish and Color.

  • The Classic Rain-Gutter Loop Antenna – Is It Any Good?
    The Classic Rain-Gutter Loop Antenna – Is it any Good? A simple technical look at an HF horizontal loop of wire strung around your house at rain-gutter height, plus. some novel loop disguise techniques. By John Portune W6NBC Compromise disguise antennas are no strangers to hams, especially on HF. But which ones are worth the effort? We often just put them up and hope for the best. But when I moved to a CC&R restrictive mobile home park recently, I wanted better answers, particularly for the classic rain-gutter loop, Figure 1. I couldn’t put up more of an HF antenna without the neighbors noticing. But was it any good, or only little more than a dummy load? Figure 1: Classic rain-gutter-height loop, elevated on standoffs (stylized for emphasis) To find out, I challenged the rain-gutter loop with EZNEC antenna modeling software. This required best-case and worst-caswe models to encompass most house variables: (1) two loop heights, (2) two house types and (3) several bands. These would place most houses somewhere within these limits. Loop heights were: 10 ft. (rain-gutter height) and 25 ft. (a more conventional loop height). House types were: all wood (best case) and stucco/chicken wire (worst case). Bands were: 40M, 20M and 10M. Why didn’t I include 80M and 160M? Well, I did at first, but right up front, EZNEC revealed something very important about horizontal loops – Rule of Thumb 1. RULE OF THUMB 1 To be efficient, a closed loop must have a perimeter greater than one wavelength (1λ) on the lowest band in use.

  • Rain Gutters Are Attached to Your Home and Run Along the Roof Line
    Rain gutters are attached to your home and run along the roof line. They collect the rain water that falls on the roof, and lead it into downspouts, which carry it away from the house or to rainwater collection barrels. Rain gutters help protect the foundation from wearing down and the roof and siding from water leaks that can cause the buildup of mold and mildew. They also help keep moisture out of the crawl space under the house. However, rain gutters also collect plant debris, such as pine needles and leaves, putting your home at risk from burning embers. If debris in the gutters catches fire, the house and everything inside is in danger. Cleaning rain gutters often removes debris buildup, keeps rainwater Rain flowing into the downspout and away from the house, improving the gutters are safety of your home. Plastic gutters are easy to install, but can melt traps for and ignite your home. Metal gutters however, won’t burn or crack, burning making them the best choice in fire hazard areas. embers, which can ignite your You can also increase your home’s safety by putting in gutter home long flashing, which will protect the roof’s edge and help stop fire from before the spreading to the attic.

The melted snow (water) runs down the roof, under the blanket of snow, to the edge of the roof where colder conditions cause it to freeze, forming ice dams. If ice dams are not removed, water may be caught behind them, forced under shingles or spill over to form icicles. This can result in costly damage to your Each year, ice dams cause millions home: wet (ineffective) insulation; stained or cracked plaster or sheetrock; damp, rotting walls; of dollars in damage to homes. and stained, blistered or peeling paint. However, if you take the right steps, you can minimize or avoid this problem. Preventing ice dams Since the basic cause of ice dams are air leaks creating warm spots on the roof, the solution is usually to maintain a cold roof. You can take three steps to achieve a cold roof: seal bypasses, insulate and ventilate. Seal bypasses Any hole, crack or crevice that allows heated air to leak through and past insulation is known as a bypass. If bypasses are not sealed before insulating, the insulation only “filters” the warm air on its way to the attic and your roof will still have warm spots. Bypasses are found: • Around light switches, outlets and light fixtures • Around chimneys and plumbing stack pipes • At the rim joist and foundation • Around bathroom and kitchen ceiling vents and any other warm exhaust equipment • Through dropped soffits (ceilings) NOTE: Recessed lights also are bypasses but, because of possible heat buildup, they should not be covered with insulation.
