How Rainwater Drainage Pipe works?
Astral Rainway pipes are designed to capture rainwater from the roof and channel it through the pipes to water storage tanks or drainage systems. The half-cut design of the rainwater drainage pipe allows the pipes to collect more water, while the system’s excellent flow capacity ensures that rainwater is managed effectively, even in extreme weather conditions. The innovative locking system ensures that there is no leakage, while the high flow capacity prevents overflow.
The Rainway pipes offer an advanced, efficient and eco-friendly rainwater drainage pipe solution for managing rainwater. Its unique design, ease of installation and high flow capacity make it the ideal choice for residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Rainway ensures long-lasting performance and contributes to sustainable water management with its corrosion resistance, UV protection and minimal maintenance. Choose Astral Rainway today for a reliable, durable and environmentally friendly rainwater drainage pipe system.
How to Install Roof Water Drainage Pipe?
Step 1. System Slope
To enhance the use of rain water drainage pipes, it is essential to install the pipes with a minimum slope of 1:500. This means a 20mm drop for every 10 metres of pipe. The correct slope improves flow capacity and helps drain a larger area of the roof efficiently.
Step 2. Fixing the Support Bracket
When installing the support bracket of rain water pipes for drainage, make sure it is secured with a single screw that lets the fitting adjust to the desired slope of the system. Keep the support bracket 2-3 cm below the roof edge and ensure the centre of the half-round pipes aligns within 2-4 cm of the roof to allow for necessary space and prevent obstruction.
Step 3. Pipe Joining
The rain water pipes in the Astral Rainway system use a “Single Click” and seal mechanism. This makes it easier to join various components of the pipe, creating a secure, permanent and leak-proof connection. This ensures your system will function efficiently for longer periods without worrying about leaks.
Step 4. Assembly Connection Steps
Position the rainwater drainage pipes by sliding the half-round pipe edge under the joint bracket. Ensure there is at least 10mm of space to accommodate expansion and contraction. Push the pipe in until it clicks securely into place, using your fingers to ensure the connection is tight.
Step 5. Fixing the Joint Bracket
Ensure the joint bracket is properly supported at the centre with a support bracket that allows adjustment. This will give you the flexibility to align the system for the desired water flow and drainage. Also, make sure to install support brackets within 1 meter on either side of all half-round pipe joints.
Step 6. Fixing Rafter Brackets
Choose the appropriate metal rafter bracket to match the needs of the site. Adjust the position of the rafter bracket to get the correct slope for the system. Use adjustable brackets to provide the necessary slope or angle to the rainwater drainage pipe system.
