4 yclone Steel gutters and rainwater system Durable, long lasting material The yclone roof drainage system is produced in one of Europe s most up to date manufacturing facilities, enabling a consistently high quality to be maintained. The base material is steel sheet coated with Prelaq Nova which is extremely hard wearing. oated steel sheet is the ideal material for withstanding the wear and tear to which a rainwater system is subjected in the form of water, air, sunlight, leaves and dirt. The coating also maintains its sheen and colour, and protects against rust. With these characteristics, the yclone system keeps its smart, fresh appearance for many years, requiring minimal maintenance. ll you have to do is wash down with warm water and a light soapy detergent at least twice a year. Safe and easy installation The advantage of a complete system is that all the components are designed to fit together, making installation a quick and easy process, and ensuring that joints and connections are as watertight as possible. Our gutter brackets are designed to work safely while simplifying the job of installation. Once the brackets have been securely fixed, the gutter is placed in position and is secured in the bracket. Surface coating Primer Prelaq Nova coating composition Passivating layer Zinc 4 olours and coating ll components are made from galvanised high strength steel sheet and coated with Prelaq Nova from Swedish steel manufacturer SS which is a coating of High uild Polyester (HP). This means that they withstand wind, sunshine and corrosion, so we can offer a warranty covering discolouration and paint flaking for up to 15 years. The yclone system needs no special maintenance except for cleaning of leaves and debris and washing down with warm soapy water at least twice a year. Every item in the system is made from the same sheet material so that it will age at a similar rate ensuring the system looks as good as the day it was installed without any colour change. Standard colours Steel sheet Prelaq Nova coating Prelaq RWS has a coating with a total thickness of 35 microns on each side The top coat contains polymer grains that make the surface durable The thickness has been optimised for wear and weather resistance The coating has excellent gloss retention and colour fastness enabling good protection against corrosion The coating has excellent flexibility and the steel sheet can be formed into various products without damage to the coating. fter-treatment If the coating has been damaged, paint it with yclone s repair paint to prolong the lifespan of the rainwater system.

5 Sales Technical Features and benefits of yclone ost-effective solution yclone is competitively priced with quality leading plastic systems and more costeffective when compared with aluminium rainwater systems. oating and colour choice yclone is available in a choice of four standard colours from stock; black, dark grey, silver metallic, and white. further six colours are available and will be considered on a special order basis. The yclone coating finish is UV resistant and will not fade or crack over its guaranteed life. High performing material Steel is an extremely versatile material and an ideal choice for rainwater downpipe and gutter systems. It is lightweight making the product easier to handle and install, and being metal has minimal thermal movement compared with plastic systems which can twist and crack due to temperature changes. Steel rainwater systems are the material of choice in Scandinavian markets which perform under extreme temperature conditions. Simple installation yclone gutter and fittings are connected using simple jointing clips that click into place. yclone also uniquely offers small aluminium rods (150mm long) that provide additional strength and support, particularly for gutter angles (see page 17). Downpipes and fittings simply connect through spigot ends, which are supported by brackets that wrap round the pipe and wall mount. yclone can be installed using basic assembly tools (i.e. hacksaw, screwdriver, rubber hammer and file). asic power tools like a drill, can further speed up the installation. Low maintenance yclone is considered to be a low maintenance product. General good practice for all guttering is to inspect the system on a regular basis to ensure the gutter system is kept free from debris that could cause a blockage, or reduce the effectiveness of the water flow. Saint-Gobain PM recommends the system is washed down with warm soapy water at least twice a year. In areas with large trees the cleaning frequency may need to be increased. The right aesthetics yclone system complements any domestic or commercial building, large or small, traditional or modern. yclone is the ideal rainwater solution for the discerning self builder, from timber framed houses to commercial buildings like supermarkets, industrial units and warehouses. The Social Housing sector in particular could benefit significantly from using steel over plastic systems with its superior longevity at a competitive rate. 5

15 Sales Technical hoosing the right dimensions α The yclone roof drainage system offers three different sizes of gutter: 100, 125 and 150mm. Downpipes are available in the following sizes: 75, 87 and 100mm diameter. It is important that the sizes of any roof rainwater system reflect the size of the roof and number of downpipes, since these factors determine the amount of water that will have to be conducted away. The tables below show which sizes are best for various roof areas. Pitched roof ross gable roof Hipped roof In order to determine the dimensions of your roof rainwater system, you must first find out the area of your roof. Measure the length and width of the roof and multiply these figures to get the area. If you have a hipped roof or a cross gable roof, add up all the roof areas to obtain the figure for the total roof area which the gutters and downpipes will be serving. Once you have your roof area, use the table below to identify the gutter and downpipe sizes you need. Gutters diameter where roof pitch α < 45º Nominal diameter (mm) Max roof area per downpipe ( x ) 50m m m 2 Note: The gutter should have a slope of 3 5mm/m along the fascia board. Downpipes diameter where roof pitch α < 45º Nominal diameter (mm) Max roof area per downpipe ( x ) 50m m m m 2 Note: Where roof length exceeds 10m, two downpipes are normally needed House length up to 10m = 1 downpipe House length 10 20m = 2 downpipes The brackets are placed at 600mm intervals on a slope. The first and last brackets are installed approx. 100mm from the end of the gutter. In houses up to 10m, the gradient falls away in one direction. In longer buildings, a double slope is formed, i.e. you make a high point between two downpipes (total length 20m) and make the gutter gradient from the high point down towards each of the downpipes.

Guide to installation Storage & unpacking Make sure that the yclone components are handled with care during storage and unpacking. If not, the coating may be damaged or the pipes and gutters dented. Store pipes and gutters on a plain and stable surface. Fastening The fasteners you will require are used for securing the gutters and downpipe brackets. We recommend the use of our colour matched screws fixings as they provide good corrosive resistance (see page 14). utting ut the gutters and pipes with tin snips or a hacksaw on a firm platform. Never use an angle grinder, it heats the steel up and destroys the galvanisation. The coating may also be scorched by hot chips or filings. Tools yclone s rainwater system can be installed with ordinary hand tools like pliers, hammer, hacksaw, screwdriver, tape measure and string. For bending brackets, you need a bracket bender. Spirit level Tape measure Pencil Screwdriver Tin snips Hacksaw racket bender Rubber hammer

17 Sales Technical Gutter and angle installations Fitting gutters Place the gutters into the brackets and secure. Join the gutters once installed into the brackets. If using rafter or adjustable brackets you will need to bend over the securing plate on the front of the bracket. Joining method 1 gutters with gutter joint 17 When joining sections of gutter, first hook the back edge of the joint piece round the gutters. Then place the front clip over the edge of the gutters. fter this, press the clip down. Lock it in place with the small clip. Joining method 2 with rod and gutter jointing clips Insert 150mm long support rod into the rolled edge of the gutter or angle. We recommend the use of 150mm rods in addition to gutter jointers for extra support. Push both components together. dd jointing clip.

Fitting gutter outlet to gutter hole cutting method 1 18 Mark the gutter at the point where the downpipe is to be located. Make two diagonal cuts with a hacksaw to create an aperture of approx. 100mm. If you are experienced in sheet-metal work, you can use tin snips instead. Place the gutter outlet over the hole ensuring that the lipped edge clips into the rolled edge of the gutter. Press the gutter outlet against the gutter and fix it in place, bending over the securing lugs.
