Cast Iron Style Rainwater system Installation

RAINWATER INSTALLATION

HANDLING
Brett Martin Rainwater systems are light in weight and are therefore easy to handle. As with all other quality materials, Rainwater components should be handled with due care at all times to avoid damage and preserve appearance.

STORAGE
All Rainwater components should be stored under conditions which will prevent damage and preserve appearance. Gutter sections, pipes and fittings should be kept in a cool dry store, with lengths of gutter and pipe stacked horizontally on a smooth, level and continuous base to avoid distortion. Stacks should not be more than 1.2m high to prevent overloading and damage to bottom layers in the stack. Where gutters, pipes or fittings are stored outdoors, leave all items in their packaging until sold or installed to maintain their original appearance.

GUTTER INSTALLATION
Brett Martin Rainwater gutters, in all four sizes, can be efficiently installed if the following procedures are followed.
Rainwater systems are supported by the outlet joint/union bracket and external angles as well as the gutter support brackets, all of which must be fixed, wherever possible to the fascia or support bracket, or the system securely held by rise and fall brackets, to ensure trouble-free lifetime service.

INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
• Position the gutter outlet vertically above the drain inlet or gully from which the rainwater will be conveyed to the underground drainage system.
• Fix the outlet in position on the fascia allowing for whatever fall, if any, is required.
• Fix the gutter support bracket furthest from the outlet at a position on the fascia which will produce a run of gutter either horizontal or to the desired fall.
• Stretch a line taut between the fixed outlet and support bracket, establishing a straight gutter line.
• Fix the remainder of the fittings to the fascia following this line, a joint bracket being positioned at each junction of two gutter sections.
• Where, due to the absence of a fascia or the design of the building support fittings cannot be fixed, the rafter top bracket and side bracket provide alternatives.
• Rise and fall brackets driven into the wall will support the gutter system where there is no fascia and rafter brackets are impractical. Position these against alternate sides of joint brackets, running outlets or angles along the installation to prevent excessive thermal movement in any one direction.

Installation of Downpipes

THE CAST IRON STYLE PIPES ARE SPECIALLY COATED TO PROVIDE THE ‘CAST’ EFFECT ON THE PIPES THAT CANNOT BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE NORMAL EXTRUSION MANUFACTURING PROCESS.

Although pipes are strong and resilient, as with any such plastic pipework, they can become distorted if stored or transported without care or adequate support. To eliminate any such circumstances affecting the systems appearance, Brett Martin recommends that intermediate pipe clips be used to ensure that pipe alignment is maintained, especially on uneven brickwork.

STEP 1

Using a plumbline from the centre of the gutter outlet or offset spigot, determine the position of the pipework to ensure a vertical alignment to the underground drainage system. To maximise the traditional appearance of the system, it is recommended that a shoe (code BR216LCI) is used to discharge the rainwater into the underground drainage system. (Fig. 1)

STEP 2

The socket of the pipe, (code BR2018LCI) is offered up to the gutter outlet, or relevant offset spigot, and positioned in line with the plumbline. The wall should be lightly marked at intervals to ensure correct alignment with the plumbline throughout the length of the installation.

STEP 3

Mark the wall, using the holes in the pipe socket lugs as guides, then drill, plug and fix the pipe, using the Brett Martin fixing packs, (code BRFP55CI), which contain 10No 55mm screws, plugs and washers.

STEP 4

Repeat until the last full length is fixed, ensuring in each case that the pipe socket is pushed fully onto the receiving pipe, and then retracted 5mm before the socket is fixed to the wall. This is especially important during cold weather installations and a requirement in the installation of all plastic pipework.

STEP 5

The lowest length of pipe is then cut to length to allow the shoe (code BR216LCI) to be positioned directly above the drainage connection.

It is recommended that intermediate pipe clips are used where uneven brickwork is encountered to help maintain alignment. Instructions are the same for 105mm dia pipework, using fixing packs BRFP75CI, which contain 75mm screws. Consideration must also be given to the expansion and contraction of the pipework during the installation process and for this system an allowance of 10mm is required.

For 68mm pipework it is essential that an expansion allowance of 5mm be made at each socket between pipe lengths, especially when fixing in cold temperatures and for 105mm pipework an allowance of 10mm must be made.

Simply push the pipe spigot fully into the receiving socket, mark the spigot and withdraw 5mm/10mm as required prior to fixing the socket to the wall.

Pipes as well as gutters, can easily be cut to size using a normal hacksaw, with any small adjustments simply made using a sharp blade.

A range of hoppers are offered, some of which can be adapted to include specific dates or designs as a costed option.

Debon-Air Climate Control Unit

‘Debon air’ air conditioning units offer conservatory owners total climate control solutions to maintain a comfortable environment in summer and winter.

‘Debon air’ cools air in the summer and heats air in the winter, providing all year round conservatory environmental control. Fresh air is channelled in and stale air extracted out.

	Easy to install ‘Debon air’ units are easy to fit into new conservatories by building into the dwarf walls at construction stage. They are simply connected to the mains supply, no plumbing is required. ‘Debon air’ units can also be retro fitted into existing conservatories by cutting a hole through the wall to fit the unit. An installation/sealing kit is supplied with the unit.			Easy to maintain ‘Debon air’ units do not need emptying like portable air conditioning units. Only simple removal of filters and washing periodically is required. Remote control ‘Debon air’ units come complete with their own infra red remote control for ease of operation from the comfort of your seat. Timed operation can also be programmed. Stylish design ‘Debon air’s’ flush fitting elegant ergonomic design is unobtrusive and will complement any conservatory environment. Thermostatic control ‘Debon air’ units have thermostatic control to automatically control your ideal pre-set room temperature. The unit will heat and cool to the required temperature.

	Various operations ‘- HEATING MODE, when required - COOLING MODE, when required - I FEEL MODE, thermostatic control - FANMODE, In moderate climate, the fan mode enhances indoor air quality by circulating the air, eliminating the use of ceiling fans. The unit has a three speed fan with sweep motion.


		Cools in summer ‘Debon air’ chills fresh air and evenly distributes throughout the conservatory to comfortable levels.

		Heats in winter ‘Debon air’ has a highly efficient heating system providing clean warm air into the conservatory to maintain a comfortable temperature.

		Dehumidifies ‘Debon air’ automatically extracts moisture from the air reducing condensation and damp conditions, protecting furniture and fittings.

		Filters the air ‘Debon air’ has several types of filters to clean the air. Pollen filters to remove dust and pollen from the air to help hayfever sufferers. Eco-Filters to filter up to 90% of harmful bacteria and smoke from the air whilst stale air is removed from the conservatory.
