Both solutions are

acceptable.

The solution 90° allows to

save room and it’s the most
used.

 In contrast to the rules
defined for the conventional
roof drainage system a
reduction of the pipe diameter
in the direction of the flow is
allowed.

Design and installation rules

Pipeline configurations
 Diameters changes in the horizontal pipe are made by eccentric reductions.
 They can increase or decrease the diameter but not all the configurations are
allowed.

The concentric reductions are not

advised.

 Eccentric reduction allows to realize a “step” slop useful in “gravity flow”
drainage stage (low rain intensity).
