Neoprene washers are fine, but you can use sealant to cover the hangers and screws and any set screws as well. I'm sure by now you've come to realize that zip hinges are not strong at all. One kick, they kink and no longer hinge up. There are better options now.
Very helpful; about to pull the trigger on some gutters. Much appreciated guys. Wish you were local for me but your info will help me select the right installers.
So gutter flashing? That looks like it’s pretty much the same as drip edge, and if the fascia is wrapped and the roof has drip edge like every roof does why bother with gutter flashing unless you’re forced to hang a gutter lower than the drip goes even then though if your fascia is wrapped I don’t see much of a point really
Drip edge and gutter flashing are similar. Flashing is usually longer. Most homes that are wrapped have siders edge, which does not go underneath the shingle and should be removed and replaced with flashing when installing gutters in most climates. Homes that are roofed without drip edge should get flashing. It is the number one skipped step to save time and money from low quality installers that I have seen.
I’m hoping you can answer a question for me. I have steel seamless gutters on my house. The gutter company I hired placed the hangers every four feet. I measure tail to tail and it’s two feet, so they went every other. I’ve heard three feet is max. Should I add hangers in between or is four feet a part ok? I live in a warm climate with occasional rainfall.
I just want to point out to the audience that there are several eavestrough or gutter systems in use in various regions in the world for use in different climates, for example this system wouldn't work in Northern climates with heavy snow and ice loads where a proper installation would require hangers to support the load on the front. I also dispute the need for neoprene washers and ceramic coated screws. If hangers are used the height of the hardware is above that where you would get any water penetration. The easiest way to guarantee the workmanship of any work being planned for your home is to work with companies who are insurance preffered or who sub-contract for those who are on a regular basis, or thoroughly research your local contractors yourself.

sorry but i didn't get the hinge pics. Which was which? and how does the hinge pic on the right pivot? just left me puzzled.
Definitely one of the harder ways to keep water from going behind the gutters

You are fine as long as the screws were long enough and the wood is good, it is the ice load that causes most issues.
Thanks! Good vid.
