Gutter Flow Rate
When planning rainwater guttering, be sure that the flow rate of the configuration exceeds the calculated runoff from the roof. We have created a How to Measure Roof Rainwater Runoff blog post that can help calculate the runoff for a standard mono-pitched roof.
End Outlet in Gutter
| System | Downpipe | Gutter Level | Gutter with Fall (1:350) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gutter Flow (litres/sec) | Roof Area (m2) | Gutter Flow (litres/sec) | Roof Area (m2) | ||
| Half Round | 68mm Round | 0.92 | 44 | 1.17 | 56 |
| Square Line | 65mm Square | 1.7 | 81 | 2.00 | 96 |
| Niagara | 65mm Square | 2.4 | 115 | 2.90 | 139 |
Centre Outlet in Gutter
| System | Downpipe | Gutter Level | Gutter with Fall (1:350) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gutter Flow (litres/sec) | Roof Area (m2) | Gutter Flow (litres/sec) | Roof Area (m2) | ||
| Half Round | 68mm Round | 1.80 | 86 | 2.60 | 125 |
| Square Line | 65mm Square | 3.41 | 163 | 3.95 | 189 |
| Niagara | 65mm Square | 4.50 | 216 | 5.30 | 139 |
From this we can see that a centre outlet almost doubles drainage so is more efficient and could mean less outlets required.
Fitting and Usage
The following is offered as a simple overview of fitting FloPlast gutter to a standard domestic fascia. For detailed advice, please refer to the step-by-step or detailed fitting instructions.
- Plan the installation with gutter system and components based on the design and flowrate of your roof.
- Position running outlet directly over the drain, and fit no more than 50mm below the level of the roof tiles.
- Fit a bracket 100mm short of opposite end from outlet, and tie a plumb line to it, with the string from the top face of the bottom, where the gutter rests.
- Stretch the plumb line and tie to the outlet, with the string on top face where the gutter rests.
- Check that there is a fall towards the outlet of 1:350 to encourage efficient drainage.
- Measure, mark and fix brackets along the fascia, using the plumb line for vertical position.
- Maximum spacing of 1m for Half Round and Square Line, and 800mm for Niagara ogee.
- Maximum spacing of 400mm in areas of heavy snowfall.
- Fit no further than 150mm from any joints, such as unions, corners and stopends.
- Use 25mm x 5mm roundhead brass or zinc screws to secure brackets.
- Fit gutter lengths, starting from the outlet, then adding unions and other parts as you go.
- Ensure gutter overlaps joints to the insertion marks stamped on gutter parts.
- Fit parts to gutter ends before screwing part to fascia.
- Fit gutter lengths back to front by tilting the back edge under the back clip, and snap in at the front.
- Use of a lubricant, such as silicone grease, on gasket seals can ease fitting and improve performance.
