The device of the drainage system

Drains are installed in various buildings: private homes, cottages, commercial buildings, warehouses, hangars, industrial halls, etc. Their task is to collect the water drained from the roof and directing it to the places of disposal:. In the storm drains, sump, etc. What is in the water drainage system? To answer this question, we will list its basic elements, as well as their purpose.

drainage device under the roof

The first thing we note that the water drainage system includes two subsystems:

• catchment.
• spillway.

Each of them has its own set of elements. Catchment system includes:

• Chutes. Products in the form of pipe sections, which are installed horizontally directly under the roof and the incoming water is collected. Form a channel through which it is sent to the funnels.
• Clutches gutters. Elements for sequential mating troughs. It enables the creation of whole drainage channel. Complemented rubberized inserts, preventing leakage at the joints.
• Corner elements. Connectors made at an angle (usually 90 or 135 degrees). Designed for joining gutters in their places of convergence of different planes (on the corners of the building).
• Plugs chutes/hoppers. The elements, which are installed at the ends of the catchment channels. Function as barriers to channel water in a desired direction (in the direction from the plug). Complemented rubberized inserts, preventing leakage.
• bracket extensions and brackets. The first product - a hook on which you install Leader, the second - accessories for its fixation under the roof made without front board

The drain system includes:

• Funnels. Links between gutters and pipes. Are compounds with holes at the bottom. Recent inserted into the tube and directed in them the water coming from the drainage channels.
• Pipes. According to him the water rushes from the roof to the building plinth. Protect the facade from sagging and direct the flow of clear to the place of disposal.
• Couplings. Elements for connecting pipes to each other, and also with funnels. Provide sealing of joints and the integrity of the weirs.
• Taps for drainage system. Adapters to be installed in locations where it is required to change the direction of pipes. Are used to connect the past with craters (in the direction of the slope of the roof to the wall) and, if necessary, bypass the architectural elements of the facade.
• Tees. The products used in the field of convergence of two or more pipes. Are intermediate (connecting links).
• Brackets pipe and screw the screws. The first elements are used to hold the tubes in a vertical position. Studs also used for mounting clamps to the wall.

Also in the drainpipes of the system meet safety nets. They are installed on top of the hole in the funnel. Protective mesh seamlessly transmits a stream of water, but retains leaves and debris. Requires periodic cleaning, especially in the autumn season.
