) The effective flow rate of a roof outlet for siphonic drainage system depends on the specific
installation conditions and results from the calculation of the system using the coefficient of hydraulic
loss in accordance with prEN 1253-2:2002, 11.3.3.

8.12.2 Coefficient of hydraulic loss

For designing a siphonic drainage system, the coefficient of hydraulic loss of the complete ready for use roof outlet,
with and without possible extensions, shall be determined in accordance with prEN 1253-2:2002, 11.3.3.

Clauses

4 Loading strength SIJ

According to Danish Building Regulations, DS 432, clause 2.3.10, gratings, used in areas where it is a requirement
that rats shall not be allowed to pass through gullies, shall be fastened with screws or in some other way. Gratings
shall be made of materials which cannot be destroyed or penetrated by rats and which shall pass the following
method of test.
MI
The gully shall be placed as prescribed in prEN 1253-2:2002, 4.4. The grating is loaded in the centre or at the inner
edge by a force of 20 N perpendicular to the surface and in the opposite direction in which the grating is mounted

The grating shall not loose firm contact to the gully body in any situation.

8.7 Side inlets

KO

According to Danish Building Regulations BR 95 and BR S 98, DS 432, only type II gullies are permitted.
