Box Gutter Sump Depth

Deviations from the gradient must be smooth and prevent towards the outlet without a proportional permanent ponding.

Box gutter sump depth.

Sump with high capacity overflow device. This will give a sump depth about 150mm. Choose an available size or any other size and enter that for the calculation of the sump. The outlet must be no further than the diameter of the outlet to the centre of the outlet.

These options give provisions for overflow to the box gutter. Here is a step wise guide for you to help. The minimum size of a sump is 400mm x 200mm minimum width of box gutter and 150mm deep. The theoretical down pipe diameter is shown for reference purposes only.

The suggested down pipe diameter is shown for reference purposes only. The minimum depth required for the box gutters that make up this roof drainage system is 125 mm. The depth shown of the box gutter is the depth at the upstream end. Box gutter gradients shall not be flatter than 1 200 for sole widths equal to or less than 600mm wide.

To determine the box gutter depth is the first and foremost step for sizing components and materials for the roof drainage system which includes the rain heads and the box gutters. The line will correspond to a minimum box gutter depth. Starting at the gutter gradient intersection draw a line up the design graph for a freely discharging box gutter chart in your copy of the standard.
