The FITFAST® gutter also has overflow slots helping to prevent water back up into the eaves.

• It is important gutters slope towards the outlets (a minimum gutter fall of 1 in 500 is recommended). Without this slope, 'ponding' may occur, reducing the life of your gutter
• When installing gutters, remove any metal particles or debris at the end of the day to prevent staining or corrosion
• Do not install galvanised gutters with a ZINCALUME® steel or COLORBOND® prepainted steel roof. Galvanised gutters are only suitable with galvanised steel roof

Designing Roof Drainage

Correct design of a roof drainage system is critical to the waterproofing of a building. This is a task that should only be carried out by a suitably qualified trade professional in accordance with the BCA and Australian Standards.

In the design and detailing of a roof drainage system, consideration must be given to a range of factors such as:

• rainfall intensity
• roof catchment area
• gutter size/capacity
• gutter fall
• gutter outlets (sumps, rain heads, nozzles)
• downpipe size, quantity and placement
• overflow consideration
• material selection and
• jointing

Downpipe Design

The downpipe size and spacing should be determined in accordance with AS/NZ3500.3.2:1998 National plumbing and drainage: Part 3.2: Stormwater drainage - Acceptable solutions.
