SPECIFICATIONS ALUMINUM SOFFIT
RAIN CARRYING PRODUCT MATERIAL • ALSCO gutter coil shall be made from a 3105-type alloy aluminum with a minimum tensile strength of 24,000 psi. • ALSCO rain carrying system products are designed for use in residential and light commercial applications. • ALSCO gutter coil shall be made available in two thicknesses: nominal 0.027” and nominal 0.032”. The coil is available in widths that can be used to produce both 5-inch and 6-inch K-style gutters on all popular forming equipment. The standard thickness tolerance for products made from aluminum sheet material shall be +0.000”, -0.003”. • ALSCO standard 2”x 3” and 3”x 4” downspout and type A and B elbows shall be available in nominal 0.019” thickness. Heavy Duty 3”x 4” downspouts in nominal 0.024” thickness shall also be available. • Other gutter accessories shall be readily available including inside and outside box and strip miters, left and right end caps, hangers, drop outlets and fasteners. • Prior to factory painting, the metal shall receive a special cleaning process to assure maximum paint adhesion. The inside of all gutters, downspouts and elbows shall be coated with a special corrosion inhibiting pretreatment and a protective polyester coating. The exteriors will be coated in a two-phase operation that includes a corrosion-inhibiting pretreatment and ALSCO’s high performance Gutter-Tuff ® coating system, designed specifically for on-site forming of seamless gutters. • All accessories used with ALSCO rain carrying system products shall be ALSCO accessories designed for use with ALSCO materials, and shall have the same Gutter-Tuff coating to ensure that the warranty covering the rain carrying products and accessories is applicable to both. CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMANCE ALSCO gutters, downspouts and accessories shall meet or exceed the following specifications: • Architectural Aluminum Manufacturers Association (AAMA) Specification 1405.1: Specifications for Aluminum Gutters and Downspouts. • HUD Minimum Property Standard 4900.1 for One and Two Family Dwellings. • HUD Minimum Property Standard 4910.1 For Multi-Family Dwellings.

APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
Direct contact of aluminum product(s) with certain dissimilar materials or contact with the water run-off from such materials is likely to result in corrosion, which is not covered by the warranty. Therefore, care should be exercised to avoid contact of aluminum with any corrosive materials during installation, including, but not limited to: pretreated lumber, concrete, masonry cement, stucco, fiber cement products, salt, corrosive chemicals, dissimilar metals (copper, zinc, steel, etc.) and roofing systems made with metallic granules of such dissimilar metals.
