    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes requirements for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride half-round gutters, rainwater pipes of circular cross section and fittings. Applicable to gutters with sizes from 100 to 150 and downpipes with sizes from 63 to 110 with associated fittings, joints and accessories and includes requirements for jointing materials, metal brackets and elastomeric seals. Covers materials, appearance, physical properties and marking. A method of test for resistance to corrosion and impact resistance of gutter assemblies. Method of test for leaktightness of gutter joints, method of test for resistance of gutter brackets to deadweight loading and guidance on quality control testing.
