• 91.060.20 Roofs

This British Standard specifies requirements for cast and extruded aluminium rainwater systems for use on buildings. It covers extruded aluminium rainwater pipes sized between DN 65 and DN 100.

It specifies the materials, dimensions, tolerances, mechanical properties, surface conditions, coatings, jointing methods, fixings and marking for the following components of the rainwater systems:

1. gutters, including half round, beaded half round, beaded deep half round, Victorian ogee and moulded ogee gutters, fittings and accessories used for assembly or support;

2. rainwater pipes, fittings and accessories used for assembly or support.

Harmonization of European standards led to the British Standard for aluminium rainwater goods, BS 2997:1958, being withdrawn in 2007 and left the United Kingdom with no standard for its traditional generic styles of aluminium gutter and rainwater pipe systems. This British Standard covers UK styles of traditional cast and extruded aluminium gutters and fittings, together with extruded aluminium rainwater pipes with cast aluminium sockets and fittings, all of which are excluded from BS EN 612 and BS EN 1462.
