Structural differences of drains

Two main methods of constructing drainage systems, some of them organized, depends only on the performance of the architecture of the building roof.Varieties Drain:

  • internal drainage system
  • outer gutter system

internal drainage system

Mounting internal drainage system is made at a flat architecture of the house roof.Organization of this method is complicated and time consuming.There are cases of use in harsh environments.

Internal drainage system

Structurally, the gutter is made of:

  • pipeline
  • Collector
  • hopper
  • technological holes for routine cleaning system

Outdoor Drain systems

Outdoor Drain systems on the order easierin a constructive manner, installation and less labor-intensive, so, which is more common in the manufacture of gutter with his own hands.It consists of the following:

  • funnel and pipe connectors;
  • pipeline;
  • Chutes, various shapes;
  • Fasteners

External drainage system

element base for external drainage can be done by hand, so this method is so popular in construction.

outdoor drainage and self-assembling

When installing the outdoor drain all the details may be made independently accessible and common materials are:

  • Metal;
  • PVC (plastic)

If you have a roof that is protected by a soft tiles, increasingly using drainage systems that are made of plastic.

The greatest distribution was received by galvanized steel sheets, it is connected with a long service life, as well as simplicity and ease when working with it.

For more expensive materials include painted steel, which has a beautiful view.Since material data difficult to handle, since the impossibility of manufacturing the hands, without damaging the protective layer, which is deposited on the surface.

tools necessary for making gutter

In the manufacture of gutter with their hands need to prepare the following tools:

  • layout tools
  • Shears for cutting metal
  • few hammers
  • rolling tool
  • Forms for manufacture of gutter

process of mounting external drain

for minimum consumption of materials and time, consider a phased process:

  1. Conducting precise calculations gutter elements (physical dimensions)
  2. Making gutter.The semi-circular trough used more preferably because it has a better property for the removal of various deposits.The easiest way for the production of semi-circular gutter is galvanized pipe that is cut in half without much effort.
  3. Ready chute mounted by means of holders to securely fix it, the installation should be carried out with a bias in one direction around the perimeter.

The process of mounting external drain

The process of mounting external drain

When connecting troughs rebated products docking method.Seam lock for connecting individual elements of drainage is the most reliable.

The process of mounting external drain

  1. drain at the lowest point on the total level of installed funnel.They will ensure ingress of rainwater and other precipitation into the sewer.The funnel has a more sophisticated design concept consists of:
  • Glass
  • rim
  • Cone

The process of mounting external drain

  1. number of craters depends on the area of ​​the roof, they can be mounted on the structure of the corners, it is possible that one hopper mountedtwo gutter cope with the amount of precipitation.
  2. You must install the plug on those places where there is no funnel.It does this in order to avoid leakage of the liquid with abundant atmospheric precipitation.
  3. little trick, which the resort, one of the parties is narrower, allowing faster and easier assembly design process and increases its strength.
  4. extreme step, that the installation of drainage pipes.We use with fasteners.It is important to remember that the bottom edge of the drain should be equipped with the knee, sending him from the building foundation.

The process of mounting external drain

To be effective drainage is necessary to consider the way forward in rainfall catchment sewer, when they come out of the drain knee.

summarize, water drainage system with his own hands from the sewer does not require large capital investments, and it can be mounted on their own, at a cost of a small amount of time.
