Knee drainpipe as one of the important elements of the installation

Where priladit knee drainpipe

Usually this pipe should go in a straight line, so significantly reduced the risk of blockages.However, if the funnel has a special grille, detaining a fallen tree leaves and other debris, which can be entered by the wind on the roof, drainpipe knee use is quite acceptable.As already mentioned, a couple of turns sometimes you have to do beneath the eaves, to connect the funnel and the tube, which is fastened to the wall with clamps.

also happens that the slope drainage is needed to work around the eaves and small awnings and canopies and reinforced belts.If you can not prodolbit obstacle in the slot (for example, due to the abundance of metal in the same reinforced belt), a workaround is performed using knees .The rest of the bends must be as small as possible, especially when carried out installation of internal drains - a rare phenomenon for country houses, because the roof should be flat.

How is fixing downpipes

So, roof gutter, you have girded funnel was installed in the first place, it remains only to establish itself gutter.If you are working with a plastic system, nothing could be simpler, it is enough to take a tube of special glue (and a few in reserve) so that all the elements were connected with high quality and, most importantly, durable.To connect the metal elements have to tinker, because folding is not appropriate everywhere, often require soldering or welding.So let's go more simple way, and consider fixing downpipes from polymers.

Before the land from the drain outlet should be at least 30 centimeters, if provided at the bottom point of street inlets the height of the drain holes should be 15 centimeters.

To funnel first leg we were stuck between the first and second knee (necessary to turn the drain vertically downwards) being installed drainpipes desired length, without adhesive agents.Then all the connections are made without any components, only by means of the clutch, and so that a minimum distance of 2 mm was between downpipes.However, if on any site you want to use the knee, they are glued to both the rectilinear elements, and each other.

Installation of drainage pipes on the wall

Never rainwater drain is not fastened against a wall.To install, use special clamps that allow for installation of drainage pipes with some space between them and the wall surface. Depending on what material is made, this is the surface of the metallic drain is possible to use the clamps on the legs or with pin fastening .The first set using screws or dowels, the latter also being hammered into the wall.For plastic pipes and plastic clamps are used.

gap between the fixtures must be in the range of 1-2 meters, it can vary depending on whether you are installing a series of drain, and who the manufacturer.Do whatever is necessary according to the instructions included with the kit.On Wall clamps drainpipes are set in advance, for straightness is desirable to use a plumb line.Further, the pipe can be inserted into the open ring clamp, whereupon removable fixing section of its circumference.
