Foreword

This British Standard was prepared by Technical Committee PSE/10. It

supersedes BS 460:1964, which is withdrawn.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by Amendment No. 1 is indicated
in the text by tags !".
Although BS 460:1964 has been deemed out of date for some time, work on this
standard was delayed due to related work being carried out by CEN TC 203 and
CEN TC 165. Following completion of those parts of the committees’ work
programmes relating to pressure and non-pressure systems, it became clear that
the scope of BS 460 did not interfere with any part of the work of either of these
two CEN committees and subsequently could be revised.
This revision takes account of changes to the foundry practice concerned with the
making of cast iron rainwater goods and the use of metrication for the
specification of dimensions.
It introduces alternative gutter and socket profiles which permit
interchangeability and/or alternative gutter jointing methods including
socketless systems.
Coatings specifications have also been reviewed and improved to take account of
newer technology and have been more clearly defined.
To achieve economy in cutting to length, the option of using double spigoted pipes
and gutters which are connected with separate sockets/joints has been included.
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.
Compliance with this British Standard does not of itself confer
immunity from legal obligations.

surface condition, primary coatings, jointing methods and marking for the following components of the
rainwater system:
— rainwater pipes, fittings and components used for assembly or support;
— gutters, including half-round, ogee and beaded, fittings and components used for assembly or support.

4.2 Mass
The nominal masses of finished products (pipes, gutters and fittings) shall be stated in manufacturers’
catalogues. The actual mass shall be not less than 85 % of the nominal mass.
4.3 Materials
4.3.1 Metal for the manufacture of cast iron rainwater pipes, gutters and fittings shall conform to
BS EN 1561:1997 Grade EN-GJL-150 or BS EN 1561:1997 Grade EN-JL1020.
4.3.2 Jointing components shall be manufactured in one of the following materials:
a) cast iron conforming to 4.3.1;
b) stainless steel conforming to BS EN 10088-1, BS EN 10088-2 or BS EN 10088-3. In order to ensure
resistance to corrosion and stabilization against the effects of intergranular corrosion, only the following
types shall be used:
1) austenitic steels – all grades;
2) ferritic and martensitic steels X8CrTi17 or X8CrNb17;
c) any other material providing that it is suitably coated to withstand a salt spray test of at least 350 h

4.4 As-cast surface conditions
4.4.1 Pipes, gutters and fittings shall be free from defects and surface imperfections that could lead to
non-conformance with 4.1 or 4.2.
4.4.2 Internal surfaces shall be smooth and free from sharp protrusions so as to prevent blockage. External

4.5 Primary coatings
Unless otherwise agreed, pipes, gutters and fittings shall be supplied coated on the interior and on the
exterior with a primary coating with a minimum thickness of 40 4m.
NOTE 1 Such primary coatings should not be readily flammable and should be free from toxic heavy metals. It is the responsibility
of the installer to examine and repair any primary coating damage prior to further protective coatings being applied. The application
of any further protective coatings is the responsibility of the installer/purchaser who needs to take account of local conditions,
e.g. climate.
NOTE 2 Factory application of further coatings may be subject to special order arrangements.

4.6 Ears
Pipes and fittings can be supplied with or without ears. When ears are specified they shall be cast integrally
to the socket or bolted on using non-corrosive fastenings (e.g. galvanized).

5 Test methods
5.1 Dimensions
5.1.1 External diameter (DE)
The external diameter of pipes and fittings shall be measured, to an accuracy of 0,2 mm, at a distance of at
least 20 mm from the end faces of the casting concerned. Two measurements shall be taken at right angles
at each cross-section and each measurement shall be within the dimensions given in Table B.1.
5.1.2 Internal diameter
The internal diameter shall be determined by taking the average of two measurements at 90° to each other
across the diameter. The average shall be in accordance with Table B.1.

5.1.3 Straightness
Pipes shall be rolled on two gantries or rotated around its axis on rollers. The gantries or rollers shall be
separated by not less than two-thirds of the pipe length. The point of maximum deviation from the straight
axis shall be determined and the deviation measured at that point shall not exceed the limit given in 4.1.7.
Gutters shall be placed with their open side on a flat surface (see Figure G.1). Any gap along the length of
the gutter, determined along either side of the gutter, shall not exceed the limits given in 4.1.7. The gutter

--`,``,,,,,,,,``,,`````,,`,,,`-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
shall then be rotated through 90º on a level surface (see Figure G.2) and the test shall be repeated for each
edge of the gutter.
NOTE The socket should not be included in this test.

5.2 As-cast surface condition

The as-cast surface condition shall be inspected visually.
5.3 Primary coating thickness
Primary coating thickness shall be verified during manufacture.

6 Marking
Pipes, gutters and fittings shall be legibly marked with the following information:
a) the number and date of this British Standard1);
b) the nominal size;
c) if applicable, the angle of the fittings;
d) a mark to identify the manufacturer, coded or not.

1) Marking BS 460:2002 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or on
behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely
the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of
conformity, which may also be desirable.
