5. Rubber Seal
6. Sump pan and outlet (PE)
When installing the outlet in a metal gutter,
the metal sheet should be made of the
same metal as the gutter, so that the
outlet can be welded / soldered into the
gutter and electrolytic or bi-metal corrosion
can be avoided.

tight seal between the tail pipe and the foil
in the roof, which is used as a moisture
barrier. A rubber ring will secure the

the foil will be clamped between the

To prevent the roof outlet being pushed
out of the roof due to thermal expansion
of the tail pipe, the first bracket should be
positioned no less than 0.5 meters from
the outlet. Under no circumstances
should sagging be allowed in the
horizontal part of the tail pipe. The
maximum vertical pipe length directly
below the roof outlet is 1.2 meters.
Also in this pipe section, no bracket is
allowed. The vertical tail pipe needs to be
installed without tensions. Under no
circumstances, bending of this part is
allowed.

7.3 Fixing the vertical

downpipe
Rigid fixing of the vertical downpipe
The vertical downpipes can be fixed by
the use of Wavin QuickStream rails in a
similar way as with the horizontal collector
pipes. Most commonly however, the
pipework can be installed directly on the
wall structure so that for this part of the
system the suspension rails can be
omitted. This is why it is standard in the
quotation to include fixed-point brackets
enabling a fix to a wall instead of using
rails. A fixed-point needs to be positioned
at the top end of the vertical downpipe,
as close as possible to the elbows.
Furthermore, fixed-points also need to be
installed at a maximum spacing of every
10 meters. Be aware of expansion and
contractions loads transferred to the wall
structure. In table 6 guidance is given for
the thickness of the threaded metal pipe
for the fixed-points in relation to the
distance to the wall and Wavin

Flexible fixing of the vertical

downpipe
Most commonly in the vertical downpipes
expansion sockets are used. As there will
be always some friction in the sealing
system of an expansion joint, it is absolute
required to anchor the expansion socket
(see figure 87). At the top of a vertical
downpipe, always a fixed-point bracket
should be installed. All other brackets
should be sliding brackets.
Fixed-points can either be created by
placing an electrofusion socket
underneath the bracket fixing the
expansion socket (see figure 87) or by use
of a stainless steel insert in the bracket.

sheets
Like any rainwater system, siphonic roof
drainage systems generate noise when
transporting rainwater. In sensitive areas
within buildings such as offices, concert
halls, courthouses and hospitals where
noise should be kept to a minimum level,
it is recommended to wrap the Wavin
QuickStream system in the relevant areas
with Wavin acoustic insulation sheets. In
addition to acoustic insulation, these
insulation sheets also provide a thermal
insulation.
The sheet is built-up around a layer with
a high specific weight acting as a sound
barrier. On the outside there is a water
resistant layer and on the inside a foam
layer provides thermal insulation. The
material can be easily bent and wrapped
around pipes and fittings.

9.2 Buried pipe systems

The general installation rules for
underground plastics pipes are
applicable. In short these rules are:
Keep trench widths as narrow as
practicable, but not less than 300
mm wider than the pipe.
Trench bottom must be flat and free
from stones or other hard obstacles
that might exert a point load on the
pipe later on.
PE pipe systems are normally welded
by either butt fusion or electro socket
fusion.
Underground PVC systems should
always be jointed by rubber seal
joints and never be solvent cement

backfill.
welded.
Loosen the trench bottom.
Install pipe and check gradient.
Side-fill with non-cohesive soil, like
sand and compact especially to the
side of the pipe.
Complete side filling with non-cohesive
backfill material till approximate 0.3 m
above pipe crown.
Compact side-fill on both sides of the
pipe, preferably with a mechanical
compactor.
Complete back filling of the trench.
For this native soil may be used,
unless project specification indicate
differently.
Alternatively the EN1610 guidelines on
the installation of buried pipe systems
can be followed.
