Let us dive into the effectiveness of half-cut roof rainwater drainage pipes and how they facilitate rainwater collection
- Advanced Design: The unique design of the rainwater drainage pipes enhances the collection efficiency by providing a larger surface area to capture water without overflowing, even in heavy rainfall. These pipes are strategically positioned along the roof’s edges to collect the most rainwater without any waste.ย
- Easy Fittings and Installations: The installation process is simple and easy with the โSingle clickโ mechanism. The pipe and fittings are compatible with any kind of roof design, to mitigate project requirements. Readymade parts and fittings are easily available in the market, ensuring hassle-free maintenance.ย
- Effective Water Management: Water overflow of the roof drainage pipes can cause significant problems for the building’s foundation and structure, making it vulnerable to cracks and damage. Installing this efficient water management system facilitates a seamless flow of rainwater from the roof, preventing overflow and ensuring the efficient management of rainwater.
- Environment-Friendly Solution: Collecting and storing rainwater using Astral Rainway UV-stabilised roof drainage pipes and fittings is eco-friendly. This lightweight water management system also has excellent corrosion resistance, does not pollute water or land during manufacturing or even its service life and also can be recycled after prolonged service.
The installation process for the Astral Rainway water management system is as follows:
Step 1: Ensure proper system slope by installing the Rainway System with a minimum fall of 1:500, allowing for a larger area to improve drainage capacity.
Step 2: Fix the Support bracket, positioned 2 to 3 cm below the roof edge. Ensure the roof edge is complete before the centre of the half-round pipe (within 2 to 4 cm) to maintain the necessary freeboard.
Step 3: Connect pipes effortlessly using the โSingle clickโ and seal jointing mechanism, ensuring leak-proof joints and secure connections with other fittings.
Step 4: For assembly, position the edge of the half-round pipe near the Joint bracket and slide it under the clip near the rib, maintaining a minimum 10 mm distance for expansion and contraction. Use your fingers to pull down the pipe while using your thumbs to push the pin over it.
Step 5: When fixing the Joint Bracket, support it at the centre with a support bracket, allowing adjustment to the desired waterfall or system angle.ย
Step 6: Choose the suitable metal rafter bracket, adjust its position to meet slope requirements and secure the system. Adjustable rafter brackets can be used to achieve the desired slope or angle.
