GENERAL DESIGN INFORMATION
SELECTING THE SYSTEM Figure 1. Pitched Roof

To determine which Wavin

Rainwater System to select, three
factors need to be considered:-
1) Preferred gutter and pipe cross
section, eg. half-round, profiled
etc.
2) Desired colour.
3) The effective roof area to be
drained.
Clearly, the first two points are a
matter of personal preference taking
into consideration styles of
architecture and colour schemes used
in other elements of the building. The
third point however is a matter of
calculation. A rainwater system’s
capacity to effectively drain a roof Figure 2. Wall Abutting Roof
area depends on four factors:-
1) The gutter capacity.
2) The level the gutter is laid to.
3) The number of outlets.
4) The position of the outlets.
In order to calculate the correct
combination, it is necessary to start
by measuring the effective roof area.

Calculating the
Effective Roof Area

Pitched Roof
(see Figure 1)
BS 6367:1983 “ Code of Practice
for the Drainage of Roofs and Paved
Areas” provides guidance on the
design of rainwater systems. A
method for calculating the effective
roof area which takes into
consideration the effects of wind is as
follows:-
1) Measure in metres -
a) Length from eaves to ridge.
b) Height of roof from eaves
to ridge.
c) Length of roof.
2) Use the formula given in
BS 6367:1983
(A + B ) x C = Effective roof area
2 in m2
Example:-
A = 6.0m
B = 3.0m
Length of roof = 9m
( )
6+3 x9
2
(6 + 1.5) x 9
7.5 x 9 = 67.5m2 effective
roof area.
If an outlet at one end is required,
then from Table 1 it can be seen that
Wavin SuperLine is suitable - with a
maximum roof area, laid level of
75m2. If the outlet is required at the
centre, then again from Table 1 it can
be seen that all gutter systems are
suitable.
Wall Abutting Roof
(see Figure 2)
Walls above abutting roofs will
drain onto the roofs below. For a
single wall, the effective catchment
area is taken to be half the area of
the elevation.
1) Measure in metres
a) Length of wall above roof.
b) Height of wall above roof.
2) Use the formula
(D x E)1⁄2 = Effective wall area
in m2
The effective wall area (if
appropriate) should be added to the
effective roof area of the roof to be
drained.
Flat Roof
For roofs with a pitch less than
10 ˚ , simply take the effective roof
area to be the plan of the roof.
Factors to Consider
a) Litre/Second Flow Rates

Gutter laid to a fall, eg. 1:600 is
more efficient that a gutter laid level.
Number and Location of Outlet/s
For the same volume of rainwater,
the greater the number of outlets
along a gutter and the shorter the
distance along the gutter the
rainwater has to travel, the more
efficient the system becomes.
Example:-
A)
B)
C)
B is more efficient than A and C is
more efficient than B.
Outlets located near gutter angles
also reduce the efficiency of the
system. — i.e. Outlets situated
further than 2m from an angle reduce
the roof area which can be drained
by 5%.
Outlets situated less than 2m from
an angle reduces the roof area which
can be drained by 10%.
Snow Loading
Wavin Osma Rainwater Systems
are designed to accommodate the
weight of snow likely from normal
falls. However, in areas subject to
Amazon 3.93 4.43
heavy snowfalls, it is recommended
that the distance between Support
Brackets is reduced to a maximum of
750mm centres. Furthermore, BS
6367:1983 section 5.4 gives details
of precautions which should be taken
to prevent the accumulation of snow
on roofs. These include the use of
snowboards and snowguards.
Leaves
In areas where trees are close to
an overhang roof, care should be
taken to ensure that gutters and
pipes do not become clogged with
wet leaves. Proprietary plastic
meshes can be fitted over the gutter
to eliminate this problem.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
As Wavin Osma Rainwater systems
are manufactured from PVC-U, they
are totally unaffected by even the
most heavily polluted atmosphere or
by impurities in rainwater.
Wavin Osma Rainwater systems
are self-coloured. If an alternative
colour is required, they are
unaffected by normal household
paints. Oil based gloss paint is the
most suitable for this purpose. Lightly
roughening the surface with
sandpaper and cleaning prior to
painting will give the best results.
189 212
PHYSICAL ATTACK
Rainwater systems are not
susceptible to insect or vermin attack.
However, if downpipes are
installed flush to the wall (eg.
Amazon), then this makes it difficult
for vandals to remove. Unlike cast
iron systems, plastic has no scrap
value and is therefore less likely to be
targeted.
ULTRA-VIOLET LIGHT
PVC-U pipework and fittings have
resistance characteristics to the
effects of ultra violet attack and,
although they may fade slightly after
a number of years of exposure to
strong sunlight, they are integrally
unaffected.
TIMBER PRESERVATIVES
Due to the aggressive nature of
some timber preservatives, it is
essential that timber fascias which
have been treated with preservatives
are allowed to dry before fixing
PVC-U gutter fittings. Refer to
manufacturers’ recommendations.

GUTTER DESIGN AND
INSTALLATION
Gutter Joint Design
All Wavin rainwater systems are
designed using the Flexiclip gutter
joint which makes it easy to connect
gutter to fittings. This is because it is
the clip which is flexed rather than
the whole component, ensuring a
positive, permanently watertight joint
every time. Note that the Flexiclip
should not be removed from the
fittings (see Figure 8).
Figure 8. Flexiclip gutter joint
Figure 9. Allowance for thermal
movement
Expansion gap
Gutter Gutter
Figure 10. Connecting RoundLine
gutter
Gutter Fall
Gutter can be installed either level
or to a slight fall. The high capacity
characteristics of the Wavin Osma
Amazon profile is such that its
performance is not compromised by
being laid level. However, laying
gutter to a fall will increase the flow
capacity and increase the area of roof
that can be drained, particularly if the
downpipe is positioned centrally.
Silting will also be prevented. A fall
of 1:600 (25mm in 15m) is
recommended for all gutters.
Gutter Expansion
It is recommended that all fittings
are firmly secured to counter the
effects of accumulated thermal
movement. An allowance for
expansion must be made when fixing
the gutter. Gutter jointing fittings are
marked indicating the position to
which the gutter should be inserted
(see Figure 9).
Connecting the Gutter
All Flexiclip fittings are supplied
complete and ready for use. It is not
necessary to remove the clip from the
fitting in order to make a joint. The
gutter is connected by laying the
gutter to the ‘gutter end’ line and
placing it under the part of the clip
nearest the fascia, pulling the gutter
down with the fingers and pushing
the clip over the gutter with the
thumbs (see Figure 10).
The Gutter Jointing Bracket
(OT.005) or Gutter Unions (OT.009,
5T.509, 6T.609 or 7T.709) are used
to connect the gutter (see Figure 11).
The Jointing Bracket has a single
screw fixing, allowing the fitting to
pivot to the required gutter fall (see
Figure 12). The Union should be
supported at its centre by a Support
Bracket allowing the fitting to pivot to
the required gutter fall.

Gutter Positioning
Gutter should be placed as high as
possible and positioned centrally
below the roof edge.

INSTALLATION
Installation of
Gutter Hanging Bracket
An alternative method of
installation is required for the Amazon
Gutter Hanging Bracket. The following
steps need to be followed: (see
Figure 15).
1. A plumb line should be strung
between the highest bracket and
the bracket fixed adjacent to the
position of the Running Outlet.
The line should be fixed to the
underside of the lip at the front of
the bracket.
2. The brackets should be positioned
at one metre maximum centres
leaving appropriate space for each
required Running Outlet or Gutter
Union. The bracket fixed adjacent
to the Running Outlet should then
be removed.
3. Fix Running Outlet, Gutter Union,
or Gutter Angle on to gutter
length before offering gutter into
position.
4. The gutter length should be held
in position under the centre
bracket and remaining brackets
snapped shut.
5. The roofing felt should be notched
and dressed around the Hanging
Bracket where required.
6. Continue fixing gutter lengths as
oulined in steps three and four,
making sure that each length is
positioned correctly in each
previous jointing socket before
locking bracket swivel device.
7. After the gutter and fittings have
been assembled, the final
alignment should be made and
the fittings screwed to the
fascia board.
Connection to Metal Gutters
RoundLine offers Connectors to
metal half-round and ogee profiled
gutters. Connection is made by
clipping the PVC-U gutter into the
appropriate connector and bolting to
the metal gutter, sealing the bolted
joint with waterproof mastic.
Half-round Connector (OT.008) -
bolt either outside the spigot end or
inside the socket end of the metal

PIPE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
Pipe Joint Design
The RoundLine and SuperLine
systems use the same range of 68mm
(2 1⁄ 2in) pipe and fittings. The Pipe
Connector, Branch and all Bends have
an aperture socket which gives an
interference fit, eliminating any need
for solvent welding and is designed to
conceal the 10mm expansion gap
between pipe and fittings. This gives
a completed joint which is neat and
streamlined. The inserted pipe has
room for expansion when its end is
just visible.
The RoofLine system utilises pipe
and fittings from the 110mm (4in)
Wavinsoil system.
Amazon pipe is 70mm (2 3 ⁄ 4 in)
square, is plain ended and fits almost
flush to the wall. The Pipe Connector
(7T.723), Offset Bends (7T.725/726),
Pipe Branch (7T.735) and Hopper
Head (7T.730) all have an aperture
socket designed to conceal the 10mm
expansion gap between downpipe
and fittings, resulting in a neat and

PIPE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
Offset Support
To give the offsets of all systems
maximium support, fit a Pipe/Socket
Bracket around the pipe directly
below the lower Offset Bend (see
Figure 33).
When using an Amazon Pipe Wall Figure 36. Application of Pipe
Offset, support is provided by a Pipe Bracket Spacer
Connector which features an integral
fixing bracket. A Pipe Wall Offset -
with Access contains an integral
bracket.

On installations featuring Figure 37. Use of Pipe Wall Offset
‘tudorised’ beams on external walls, (7T.739)
it may be necessary to use a Pipe
Bracket Spacer (7T.731) which is
designed for use with the Pipe
Bracket, Pipe Connector and Pipe
Shoe. The Pipe Bracket Spacer can be
adjusted by cutting to the required
depth (see Figure 35).

Eaves with Soffit

Figure 35. Use of Pipe Bracket a) RoundLine and SuperLine
Spacer A small eaves projection or a fascia
board fitted direct to an external wall
is sometimes preferred to the
traditional soffit design. In such
cases, the rainwater pipe should be
kept parallel to the wall by fitting a
Bracket Spacer (OT.031) behind the
Pipe Bracket or Pipe/Socket Bracket.
The Bracket Spacer moves the pipe
7T.734 36mm further away from the wall and
puts it directly in line with the gutter
7T.731 outlet (see Figure 36).

CONNECTIONS TO
EXISTING IRON PIPE
a) RoundLine and SuperLine
Rusty or cracked cast iron pipe
may be replaced easily with PVC-U.
Any sound part of an existing cast
iron system can be retained and a
68mm PVC-U pipe connected directly
to the open socket of a 2 1⁄ 2in iron
pipe. Mastic or other sealing
compounds are not needed (see
Figure 38).

iron pipe socket
68mm
RoundLine/
SuperLine Pipe
b) RoofLine
To connect 110mm RoofLine pipe
to a 4in cast iron spigot, use a
4S.134 Connector and a 4S.119
Gasket.
1. Fit the Gasket over the spigot of
the iron pipe.
2. Then push the Connector firmly
onto the pipe.
3. Heat the socket of the Connector
evenly all round until it shrinks to
fit tightly around the Gasket and
iron pipe. (see Figure 23).
Access Fittings
The RoundLine, SuperLine,
RoofLine and Amazon systems all
offer Access Fittings to allow for
Access into the downpipe system.
The OT.274 from the RoundLine/
SuperLine system and the 4S.274
from the RoofLine system both have a
spigot to connect straight into the
drainage system.
A Pipe Wall Offset (7T.759) and
Access Pipe (7T.755) both provide
access into the Amazon downpipe
system.

CONNECTION TO Pipe Shoes
BELOW GROUND DRAINAGE For an open discharge, a downpipe
There are a number of ways of should be terminated with an open
terminating rainwater downpipe at Pipe Shoe which should be situated
ground level, ie. using an adaptor, a over a gully, ensuring that the Pipe
pipe shoe, connecting directly into a Shoe is securely fixed to the wall with
gully or directly into a drain socket. the appropriate bracket. (see
Figure 41).
