Abstract
The present invention relates to a fascia angle adapter for an eavestroughing system wherein the fascia angle adapter allows for supporting of an eavestrough hanger or other support fitting at different angles relative to a fascia board. The adapter is placed intermediate the hanger and the fascia board. The adapter has a base member having a fascia engaging surface, a top port for securing of the adapter to a fascia board, and an eccentric cam supported by the base member and movable with respect thereto whereby the cam can be moved to various positions such that the exterior surface of the cam is spaced a different distance from the fascia engaging surface. The cam member is preferably rotatably supported within the base member and has a number of planar surfaces about the periphery of the cam for defining, in cooperation with the base member, predetermined angles for known angled fascia. This arrangement provides a simple solution whereby the installer can easily adjust the angle of the eavestrough hook for optimum utility.
