BOX GUTTER DRAINING TO RAIN WATER HEAD (Simplified)
at the end of the box gutter.
Note:This Program is free to use, and is based on the Australian Plumbing Code AS/NZS 3500.3:2015.
However it can be used for any Plumbing Code. Find out how
This is a simplified version of the other box gutter calculators.
There is no allowance for vertical faces or rain shadow effects.
However the user can allow for vertical faces by adding half the
vertical area to the catchment area.
By not allowing for rain shadow effects, rain is assumed to be coming
from all directions at once. This may result in a slightly larger box gutter.
However this effect is insignificant for flattish roofs, or small vertical faces.
Legend: Boxes shown like this are results. No input needed.
