Indian Standard
CODE OF PRACTICE FOR
FIXING RAINWATER GUTTERS AND
DOWNPIPES FOR ROOF DRAINAGE

( First Revision )
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 14 March 1984, after the draft finalized by
the Building Construction Practices Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Rainwater gutters and ,downpipes are essential for prompt removal of
incident rainfall on the roof. Efficient roof drainage is an important pre-
requisite for the economic maintenance of a building. Installation of
rainwater utters and pipes require careful attention to their capacity,
position an dgalignment, water-tightness, accommodation for expansion,
firmness of support, etc. This standard is intended to give guidance with
regard to these details of work.
0.2.1 This standard was first published in 1963. This is being revised
to update the methods being followed for installation and efficient func-
tioning of rainwater gutters and pipes. In this revision the use of in situ
concrete gutters has been discontinued since they are normally not used.
Further the fixing details of different types of gutters and pipes has been
dealt in detail. The sizing of rainwater pipes has been modified.
9.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied \yith, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the constructional details of rainwater gutter8
and downpipes and their fittings for roof drainage.

lined usually wifh bituminous material or with burnt clay products.
Gutters may also be made of galvanized iron sheets fiat less than 1.25 mm
in thickness and shall conform to IS : 277-19773. The gutters shall be
seqlicircular in section with a width at top about twice the diameter of
the do\vnpipe ( see Fig. 1 ).

2.2 Stays for Sheet Metal Gutters

22.1 Stays shall consist of metal tubes or other equivalent distance-
pieces or may be an integral part of the supporting bracket, provided that
the gutters is adequately reinforced to withstand all normal conditions
of use. The size of stays shall not be less than the follqwing values, and
alternative designs shall be of equivalent strength:
a) For nominal size of gutter 12 mm diameter tube of thickness
less than 120 mm not less than that of the gutter
b) For nominal size of gutter 16 mm diameter tube of thickness
above 120 mm not less than that of the gutter

2.2.2 Stays forming part of the supporting bracket shall be of such

design that the assembly of bracket and stay is securely fixed in posit-ion.
In all cases, the position of the stay shall be such as to interfere as little
as practicable with the effective capacity of the gutter.

3. NECESSARY INFORMATION
3.1 For the efficient planning and installation of rainwater pipes and
gutters, detailed information with regard to the following is necessary:

a) The maxiurn intensity of rainfall for which the roof drainage

system is to be designed; and

b) Local bye-laws, if any, governing house drainage, which will

affect the design and installations of rainwater pipes and guttersi

3.2 All ._information

^ ^ . as in 3.1 shall be made available to those who are
responsible !br tixing rainwater pipes and gutters. Necessary drawingr
and instrtictions shall also be fur.nished.

4. STORAGE AND HANDLING OF MATERIALS

4.1 The storage and handling of gutters and pipes shall be done in
accordance with IS : 4082- 1977%

5. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

5.1 Gened- The roof of a building shall be so designed, censtrtlcted

and framed aa to permit effectual drainage of the rahwatkr by sufficient:
number of pipes and gutters of adequate size, so arranged, jointed and
Sxed a to ensure quick carriage of iainwater away from the roof
without causing damMa.

5.X.1 Capacity- The gutters of downpipes shall have sufficient cross-

sectional area and slope to ensure collection and removal of water even in
the case of the heaviest rainfall without risk of dangerous accumulation.
The orientation of the building and the exposure of the site may also
affect the quantity of rainfall which the roof receives and so attention
should also be paid to such factors.

5.2 Rainwater Gutters

5.2.1 Slope -The slope for the roof gutters shall normally be not less
than 1 in 150.
5.2.2 Flow Capacity - The flow capacities for gutters with the minimum
slope stated in 5.2.1 and with outlet at one end will be as given in
Table 1.

5.2.21 Efect of bsnds - Where gutters have bends, tbt flow capacity
will be reduced. In the case of right-angled bend the reduction of flow
capacity will be about 25 percent.
5.222 Effect of out& and down pez- The shape, size and position of
the outlet and downpipe will .a tFect the flow capacity of the gutter.
Round-cornered outlet will give a smoother flow than sharp-cornered ones.
The position of the outlet will also affect the flow capacity of the gutter
but in deciding the location of-the outlet, several factors, such as ease of
connection to the disposal ryatem and the appearance, have a+ to be
considered. When the outlet. is placed centrally in the length of a gutter, ,p
capacity required will be one-half of that needed for an end-outlet. _

5.2.23 Efict of roof dgc in dticharging the water into the gutter- The
manner in which the water leaves the edge of a roof varies with the kind
of roof covering used, and this will influence the location at which the
gutters shall be fixed. Where, as for instance in a slate roof, the water
leaves the edge with very little spread to front or rear, the position of the
gutter may be centrally under the edge, on the other hand where the
water leaves the edge with a wide spread; such as in the case of clay
pantiles ( with sharp upper corner to the edge ), the gutter shall be close
to the edgewith its centre slightly forward to the under edge of the roof.
Where the lower corner of the roof edge is rounded, the water may be
deflected more to the rear, and the centre of the gutter may preferably
also than be placed slightly to the rear. The most satisfactory roof edge
will be one with the upper corner round and the lower corner sharp.

5.3 Size8 of Rainwater Pipe8

5.3.1 The sizes of downpipes suitable for variable gutters shall be as
given in Table 2 with a variation off 5 mm.

5.3.4 A bell mouth inlet at the roof surface is found to giver better
drainage effect provided proper slopes are given to the roof surface. The
spacing of pipes depends on the position of windows and openings but
6 m apart is a reasonable distance.

5.4 Water-Tightness - All junctions and joints shall be thoroughly

water-tight, riveted, belted and soldered. Joints between successive
length of gutters shall have an overlap of at least 50 mm. The drop
in the overlap of the gutter shall always be in the direction of the fall.
Ends of guttering rhall be closed with galvanized sheets not less than
1.215 mm in thickness to fit the section and made water-tight.
Junctions with downwater pipes shall be made water-tight.

5.5 Strength and Stability

5.5.1 Gutters if located at the exterior like the eaves and roof edges
will be subject to high wind velocities. The effect of zones of very low
pressure for certain angles of incidence of the wind shall, therefore be
taken into account in the design and reference may be made to 1s : 875-
1964.. Gutters shall be fixed 25 mm below the edges of the roof supported
with brackets aLt about 1.25 m intervals. Roof gutters if required may
also be designed for occasional live loads which are likely to occur during
erection and other operations.

5.6 Allowance for Expansion of Shrinkage

5.6.1 Variations in temperature, and for materiala other than metal,

differences in relative humidity, will cause linear changes resulting in
displacements of gutters and pipes in relation to the building, and v
allowance shall be made for free expansion to prevent any undue stresses
in them or blistering and cticking of the outer finish.

*Code of practice for structural s&t; of build+ Loading ltaadmda (r&d).

8
 5.6.1.1 Provision made for expansion of gutters (see 5.6.1.2 ) shall
accommodate their linear changes. Where the expansion accommodated
is less than 20 mm, the length of the gutter between the expansion joints
shall not exceed 30 m for sheet steel, asbestos cement or cast iron gutters.

5.6.1.2 The expansion devices for gutters may be provided as follows:

a) For sheet metal gutters the expansion joints shall be

provided as in Fig. 2;

6.1 The rainwater pipes shall be fixed to the outside of the external walls
of the building or in recesses. or chases cut or frame in suchexte*mal wall.
Work to the extent necessary for supporting the rainwater fittings
properly in position shall be completed before the person entrusted with
the job of fixing rainwater gutters and pipes starts his work. Any plaster
finish in building work near the location of the downpipe shall be
completed before fixing of the downpipe. Hold fasts an.d clamps for the
pipes may also preferably be fixed to the wall before plastering, so as to
avoid disturbing the plaster finish later.
