What is the purpose of the 125 or 150 mm gutter end cap?

The end cap closes the open end of the horizontal gutter to prevent water from leaking out at the end of the line. It is not a leaf guard and does not cover the entire length of the gutter. Shopify offers this item for gutter sections of 125 and 150 mm, which must match the exact drainage system of the site.

How do I choose between a 125 mm and 150 mm gutter end cap?

Choose the same section as the horizontal gutter: 125 for a 125 gutter or 150 for a 150 gutter. The official system scheme groups the 125 gutter with a 90 pipe and the 150 gutter with a 100 pipe, but the end cap is determined by the gutter, not the downpipe. For an unknown old system, measuring with just a tape measure does not replace checking the profile and edge.

Is there a separate left and right version of the gutter end cap?

In the active Shopify selector, there is no "left" or "right" option; the variants only distinguish system, coating, and color. This is not sufficient reason to assume the orientation of the physical part. Before ordering a specific LATIVA end, confirm by SKU whether the cap is universal, reversible, or supplied in a specific version, especially when supplementing an old line.

What coatings and colors are available for the gutter end cap?

The product includes 36 variants: 18 each for 125 and 150 mm. For each section, there are five matte colors, twelve glossy colors, and one "Zinc" option. For example, 125 mm / Matte / RAL 8017 is SKU LT-1587, and 150 mm / Zinc is LT-1621. Size and SKU should be checked before color, as a similar shade does not make different sections compatible.

Is the 125 mm end cap suitable for a 5-inch seamless gutter?

It is not confirmed that this cap fits the 5-inch seamless profile. Five inches is approximately 127 mm, but a close nominal size does not prove the same edge shape, depth, or locking method. This product is designed for standard 125 and 150 mm sections. For a seamless system, use a cap specifically intended for its profile or request a check with a physical sample.

What should be checked before installing the gutter end cap?

Check the section, edge profile, part orientation, coating, and exact SKU. The gutter end must be shaped according to the installation scheme, without deformation that prevents proper fitting. The public record does not specify a particular sealant or fixing method, so do not use arbitrary glue. After installation, the connection should be inspected and tested with water before accepting the line.
