Re: Metricon Box Gutters did not meet Australian Standards 15Mar 17, 2019 5:53 pm SaveH2O Found this Tuesday, 4 October 2016 Alert from the Victorian Building Authority. https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/media/latest ... actitioner NOTE: The minimum depths and heights quoted are for (domestic) box gutters. This is not to be confused with the minimum depth and height that I quoted previously for the sump. There is a lot of information available online re box gutter compliance. It really is staggering that the VBA could know of these issues yet remain blissfully ineffective in stopping the serious non compliance. Box Gutters Alert to Building and Plumbing Practitioner Tuesday, 4 October 2016 Compliant box gutters require architects, designers, builders and plumbers to work together Too often the VBA finds box gutters installed that aren't the right size, don't terminate correctly or have other problems that make them non-compliant; which some practitioners have not realised. Box gutters that fail to comply with the Plumbing Regulations 2008 are regularly found by the VBA Inspection Service Team in its work under the VBA Pro-active inspection program. In addition to finding non-compliant box gutters, the Inspection Service Team members have spoken to many plumbers and builders who are not aware of the requirements for installing this type of gutter. Box gutters have been found that change direction, include side chutes, reduce in size, terminate onto soaker flashings, are undersized , have inadequate overflow provision, and at times, terminate into downpipe pops. What the deemed-to-satisfy provisions for roof drainage require: It is important that practitioners are aware of the standards for the installation of box gutters. They must:
The VBA urges architects, draftspersons and building practitioners to consult with the licensed plumbers and where unable, the relevant standards, to establish what is required to assure a compliant job for the finished product (ie, roof framing to be constructed correctly so the licensed plumber can install compliant plumbing work). What can Practitioners do? Plumbing practitioners can ensure that they are up-to-date on the requirements of installing box gutters in the AS/NZS 3500.3:2015 Plumbing and drainage, Part3: Stormwater drainage and SA HB 39:2015 Installation code for metal roof and wall cladding. A concern is that it seems, based on Metricon's comments and their display homes, that all their recently built homes with box gutters, except mine, do not comply with the minimum standards prescribed in AS/NZS 3500.3:2015. If there is water damage due to a blockage their owners will be unable to claim the repairs on their insurance. The insurance industry is well aware of this issue and potential exclusion so its the first thing they will check. Building Standards; Getting It Right! Don't think they are designed for double brick. WA has a particular way of building and unfortunately that's the way a large amount of sills are finished. 3 7005 I believe this is correct. From the picture you can see the power was put in last so the electrician knew where the water was. Really it's a common sense issue more… 4 5153 2 8645 |
