The Osma Drive-in Gutter Spike is a 340mm galvanised steel fixing pin used in conjunction with Osma rise and fall gutter brackets. The spike is driven through the fascia board to provide a secure, concealed fixing point for the bracket riser, avoiding visible surface fixings on the face of the fascia.
Manufactured in high-grade mild steel with a galvanised finish for corrosion resistance. At 340mm, the spike provides sufficient depth of engagement through the fascia and into the rafter or noggin behind. Suitable for use across the Osma range including Roundline, Squareline, Stormline, Superline, and Roofline systems.
Commonly used on new-build housing and refurbishment projects where the clean appearance of the fascia installation is a priority, and where the gutter bracket is being set at a precise fall rather than a fixed angle. The drive-in spike is a consumable item and is typically required one per bracket position.
Available for immediate dispatch. Order in multiples to match bracket quantities on site.
Compatibility: Osma Roundline, Squareline, Stormline, Superline, and Roofline rise and fall bracket systems. For trade pricing or technical queries, call 0333 987 4452.
