Re: Roof Plumbing Plan 16May 10, 2014 1:11 pm Stewie D One thing I am confused with though is the slope factor. Any of the slope or pitch factor charts I have seen say that a roof with a pitch of 25º has a slope factor of 1.103 not 1.23 ? Hi Stewie, AS/NZS 3500.3:2003 Section 3, table 3.2 is my reference for eaves gutter roof area factoring. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage.

Re: Roof Plumbing Plan 17May 10, 2014 2:34 pm The former Victorian Plumbing Industry Commission (PIC), now incorporated into the new Victorian Building Authority (VBA), had a technical solution sheet that explained the factoring by example. It now simply refers to AS/NZS 3500.3 and HB114...a handbook! Go figure!!! I checked the NSW Office of Fair Trading website and they now also use the 'upgraded' technical solution sheet. http://www.pic.vic.gov.au/__data/assets ... water3.pdf Nevertheless, if you calculate the roof plan area, you will find that it is 185 sq m (two areas of 10 x 15 & 5 x 7). If you then add up the catchment areas shown, they total 222 sq m. The roof pitch is still stated in the linked document as 23 degrees. This is factored by 1.21 as per AS/NZS 3500.3 (calculation example no longer shown on technical solution sheet) but the doc still states that the maximum roof area drained to the indicated gutter's cross sectional area and downpipe size is 47 sq m. Given that the average of the 5 roof catchment areas shown is 44.4 sq m, you can see that the 23 degree roof pitch shown in the example has had a factoring of 1.21. 3in1 Supadiverta.
