Step by step instructions for installation of drainage system

Installation of drainage system can be carried out during or after the installation of the roof and a wooden device Binder eaves of the building.

1. Getting to self-assembly of metal gutter to the roof, you must first create a small drawing, through which you can purchase the required amount of materials and decide on the location of the circuit elements of the future design.

2. After reviewing the theory and photos, independently make the drain, you can proceed to the practical part of the upcoming work.Pre-need to fix first hook for mounting the trough at the beginning of the eaves of the roof.Then, using a level, you must define the desired slope of the trough (at least 2 cm to 1 meter running), and set the most extreme Cornice Hook.

Stretched between these hooks Nylon thread mark the line of the rest of the installation hooks that must be fixed in increments of no more than 600 mm.In this case, in place of docking chutes distance to mounted hooks must not exceed 150 mm.

3. On the edge of the gutter mounted plugs with rubber gaskets.In this case, all the joints are coated thoroughly roofing sealant.

4. After all the hooks, they mounted the constituent elements of the gutter for water collection.

5. Designating the place of installation of drainage funnels at the lowest point of the trough, it is necessary to cut a hole of suitable diameter of the water drain, using tin snips.Using a hammer, sheet metal edges to cut a hole bent outwards in the direction of water movement.

6. chute connected to each other in one-piece trough with special locks connections with rubber gaskets inside.During this process, it is necessary to strictly control the correct placement of the rubber gaskets.Joints are processed roofing sealant.

7. On the cut hole in the chute is installed water inlet funnel, which is attached to the knee with inserts of pipe segments, based on the distance to the wall of the building from the eaves edge.

8. Vertical pipes are attached to the wall using special clamps with screws or dowels (depending on wall material).Lower knee gutter, attached to the wall should be at a height of 300 mm above the ground.

9. For extra stability, chutes, especially in winter conditions, in places of installation of hooks mounted special thrust of roofing sheets, attached by means of rivets.
