Mounting Rainway

Before installing the rainwater system, it is necessary to determine the location of the drainpipes, taking into account the direction of water drainage, the location of the ground drainage points and the appearance of the facade. One running outlet is installed at no more than 10 lm. gutters.

Using a cord, determine the slope towards the drain, approximately 2 cm by 10 lm. gutters and install the gutter brackets around the edges at the highest points.

Install runnig outlets in the places where the drain is arranged. The running outlets should be at the lowest points of the gutter systems.

The gutter brackets are installed at the rate of 6 pieces per 1 gutter, but no more than 55 cm, and no further than 10 cm from the running outlets, gutter unions and gutter angles.

The gutters are installed starting from the running outlet. The edge of the gutter should be at the level of the marks on the running outlet. The gutter is inserted into the brackets and connecting elements starting from the back wall of the gutter.

The gutters are connected using a gutter union. The edges of the grooves should be in line with the marks on the sleeve. Once connected, the gutter union is attached to the wind board.

A hacksaw for metal is used to cut gutters and pipes. Burrs are cleaned with a file.

The gutter angles are mounted according to marks similarly to gutter unions.

The stopends  snap into place at the end of the system. The distance from the stopends to the side roof board or to the wall is at least 3 cm.

Installation of pipes starts from the runnig outlet. With a significant roof extension between the double socket bends (67 * or 87 *), a pipe section is used. To avoid sagging pipes, it is recommended to fix them with connecting elements using PVC glue, sealant or other means (rivets, self-tapping screws L-12mm)

With a small removal of the roof relative to the wall using a pipe coupling or a combination of single socket and double socket bends. The arrow on the couplings and taps indicates the direction of water flow, and is always directed downwards. Recommended fixation (see step 10).

A downpipe bracket is installed directly under the bend. When inserting pipes, leave a gap of about 10 mm for linear expansion. No glue is used.

Couplings are used to downpipe connectors. An arrow on the sleeve indicates the direction of water flow and always points downward. A bracket is installed under the coupling. Due to thermal expansion, the down tube is not fully inserted. The gap is approximately 10 mm. Fixing pipes with a coupling is not allowed.

Downpipe brackets are mounted on the wall by means of dowels and special screws. The distance between the brackets should not exceed 1.5 m.

Branchs are installed in the same way as connectors. In the case of connecting a 75 mm pipe to a 100 mm pipe through a branch, an adapter is used.

The lower bend is fixed to the pipe (see step 10). Only PVC glue is used for gluing. The pipe is fixed with a bracket. Distance to the bend is 2 cm, distance to the ground level not less than 20 cm.
