• Round. square, or rectangle rainwater pipe may be used and are considered equivalent
when enclosing an inscribed circle equiml:!nt to .he drain leader diameter.
• • For Manila and Em 'irons, a rainfall intensity of 102 mm per hour is used.
I I 04.3 Horizontal Ra inwate r Piping: The size of a building rainwater piping
or any of its horizontal branches shall be sized in accordance with
Table 11-2 (Based upon maximum roof areas to be drained.)
Exa mple: Table 11-2
Roof Area- 548.1 m2
.M ax Rai nfall/hr. ·- 127 mm
Pi pe Laid at (20.9 mm/m) slope or s = .02
Find area in column under 127 mm and at slope of 0.02 and read 561. 1 m2 (a~
closest). choose I 52 mm as size of leader and down spout at leftmost ccl'l!liit

Stoon OmiflS{le System
1)04.4 Roof Gutter. The size of semi-circular bottom roof gutters shaU be based
on the max.imum roof area, in accordance with Table 11-3
Example: Table 11-3
Roof Area = 186 m
2
Max RainfalVhr. = 102 mm
Pipe Laid at 10.4 mrnlm slope or s =0.01
Find area in column under 102 mm rainfall intensity on Table with s = .01 and
read 181 .4 m2 (as closest) move to left and read 177.8 mm diameter gutter.
1104.5 If the rainfall is more or less than those shown in Table 11-2 and ll-3.
then adjust the figures in the 50.8 mm rainfall by multiplying by two (2)
and dividing by the maximum rate ofrainfall .in mmlhour.
Eumple:
In Table 11-2 with a 10.4 mrnlm or s = .01 and a 203 .2 mm rainfall, find the
number of square meter a 102 mm pipe diameter will carry.

Notes:
l. The sizing data for vertical conductors, leaders. and drains is based on the
pipes flowing 7/24 fulL
2. For rainfall rates other than those listed, determine the allowable roof area by
dividing the area given in the 25 mrn!hour column by the desired rainfall rate_
3. Vertical piping may be round, square, or rectangular. Square pipe shall be
sized to enclose its equivalent round pipe. Rectangular pipe shall have 2:t ka~t
the same cross~sectional area as its equivalent round pipe, except that the ratio
of its side dimensions shall not exceed 3 to I.
