Re: Connecting pergola gutter to existing house down pipe 5May 01, 2020 6:37 pm The fact that it is stated in BCA stands and as such, I won't "correct" it. However, since I'm a Draftsperson and not a plumber, I will concede that your quoted clauses also exist as stated, and defer to those standards, by which any person employed/contracted to complete the works would be required to abide by Re: Connecting pergola gutter to existing house down pipe 6May 04, 2020 4:49 pm Further to my above response, I do retract my precious advice regarding 12m gutter service.

Without having looked into it, I thought maybe it was a maximum threshold, where a design may technically be spec'd at say 13m but the code (because of its performance based nature) stops at 12m to ensure some headroom. Regardless, this came to me through a random Avenue and after reviewing, it showed the clear deviation from BCA.
