1 Scope

This European Standard classifies roof drains and floor gullies without trap for use inside buildings, gives
guidance for places of installation and specifies requirements for the construction, design, performance and
marking as well as test methods of factory made roof drains and floor gullies without trap (further: floor gullies)
for buildings, irrespective of the material for use in drainage systems.

Although normally used to convey rainwater and wastewater, these roof drains and floor gullies without trap
may convey other wastewater provided there is no risk of damage to components or of injury to health.

This European Standard does not apply to trapped floor gullies with a depth of water seal of at least 50 mm as
specified in EN 1253-1.

5.3.4 Procedure

The testing of gratings and covers shall be carried out either in the grid or in a suitable test frame in
accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions which shall be placed on the bed of the testing
machine so that it lies flush on it. Any irregularities shall be suitably compensated for.

If the components can be combined in different ways, the test shall be done for the most unfavourable
combination.

Before the load is applied, locate the geometric centre of the cover or grating and ensure this point has a
smooth surface. Then take a datum reading at this point measured to an accuracy of ± 0,1 mm.

For gratings or covers made of non-ductile cast iron, or of this material in combination with concrete, the load
shall be steadily increased with the prescribed load and loading speed in accordance with Table 5. Check that
no visible crack or fracture has occurred. For gratings or covers made of ductile cast iron, steel, non-ferrous
materials, plastics materials or these materials in combination with concrete, the load shall be increased with a
loading speed in accordance with Table 5 up to 2/3 of the test load. The load on the test specimen is then
released. This procedure shall be carried out five times. After 1 h, take a new reading at the geometric centre
of the cover or grating.

The permanent set shall then be determined as the difference between the two readings and the set shall not
exceed the values given in Table 6. The loading shall then be steadily increased with the loading speed and
test load in accordance with Table 5 and maintained for 5 min. Check that no visible crack or fracture has
occurred.

Testing shall be carried out at ambient temperature of (23 ± 2) °C on three gratings/covers, each of which
shall meet the requirements.

5.4 Mechanical strength

5.4.1 Membrane clamping ring

Connect the clamping ring to the body in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Apply a vertical
force of 400 N to the underside of the ring such that the ring is pulled away from the body.

Perform the test at the three most unfavourable points and determine if the ring is dislodged.

5.4.2 Roof drains and floor gullies with factory fixed skirt membranes

Cut a 50 mm wide strip specimen from the body including the membrane and subject it to a tensile force at a
rate of (50 ± 10) mm/min.

When using clamping rings, two cuts 50 mm apart shall be made in the sealing sheet in the clamping area
before positioning the ring. After positioning the clamping ring, both cuts shall be extended to the outer edge
of the sealing sheet.

Clamp the test specimen cut from the body or the entire body in the lower jaw of the testing machine such that
a strip of the sealing sheeting, 100 mm in length, can be attached to the upper jaw. Conduct the test with the
peeling direction approximately at right angle to the top of the body.

Check whether peeling occurs when applying a peeling force of up to 100 N.

5.5 Flow rates

5.5.1 Floor gullies without trap

5.5.1.1 Water through the grating

The test shall be performed in a tank in accordance with 5.5.1.2. The floor gully shall be assembled such that
it is watertight and that water can be discharged only via the grating as shown in Figure 9.

The flow rate is obtained from the maximum possible inflow at a head of water h and shall be constant over a
period of 10 min in accordance with the requirements specified in 4.6.1.

5.5.1.2 Test arrangement

The test arrangement shall be in accordance with Figure 9.

The floor gully shall be installed horizontal centrally in the water tank with grating/frame in the horizontal plane.

Water supply shall be via the anti-vortex inlet.

The measuring point for the head of water can be via a communicating tube (measuring tube, see Item 3 in
Figure 9) or equivalent.

In the case of floor gullies with a loose or adjustable extension, the lowest installation case shall be selected.

The upper edge of the grating frame or grating in the absence of a frame shall constitute the zero point for
measuring the accumulation height of the water when flow commences into the floor gully.

The outlet of the floor gully shall be connected to a pipe of 1 m length of the same DN as the outlet, laid at a
gradient of (1,5 ± 0,1) % to the horizontal. Where necessary, a bend of (88 ± 2)° shall be used to connect to a

The roof drain for gravity drainage shall be installed centrally in the water tank with grating/frame in the
horizontal plane.

Water supply shall be via the anti-vortex inlet.

The measuring point for the head of water shall be (500 ± 5) mm from the middle of the roof drain at two
opposite points.

For roof drains with horizontal outlet and roof drains with vertical drain, the pipe shall lead horizontally out of
the tank and then vertically down.

The roof drain shall be installed together with the discharge pipe in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

The outlet of the roof drain shall be connected to a pipe of 1 m length of the same DN as the outlet, laid at a
gradient of (1,5 ± 0,1) % to the horizontal. Where necessary, a bend of (88 ± 2)° shall be used to connect to a
vented vertical pipe of DN 100.

5.5.2.2 Procedure

The test may be carried out with or without a plate to simulate a roof surface. If a plate is used, it shall be
provided by the party requesting the test.

When installed into a plate, the upper edge of the grating frame shall not be lower than the upper edge of the
plate. In the case of roof drains with a loose or adjustable extension piece, the lowest installation case shall be
selected.

The zero point for measuring the accumulation height shall be the level at which the water starts flowing into
the roof drain. The reference height is thus the total accumulation height as measured from the zero point. In
the case of emergency outlets the measurement is taken from the upper edge of the free-overfall weir, and the
height of the free-overfall weir shall be added.

The nominal size of the discharge pipe shall correspond to the nominal size of the outlet of the roof drain.

The flow rate is obtained from the maximum possible inflow at a head of water h in accordance with Figure 10,
constant over a period of 10 min in accordance with the requirements specified in Table 3.

The performance curve shall be determined as follows:

— up to 6 l in steps of 1 l/s;

— up to 14 l in steps of 2 l/s;

— up to 22 l in steps of 3 l/s.

The tolerance for the head of water may be ± 2 mm.

EN 1253-2:2015 (E)

Water supply shall be through the anti-vortex inlet.

The measuring point for the accumulation height shall be (500 ± 5) mm from the middle of the parapet drain at
two opposite points.

5.5.3.2 Procedure

The test may be carried out with or without a plate. If a plate is used, it shall be provided by the party
requesting the test.

When installed into a plate, the upper edge of the grating frame shall not be lower than the upper edge of the
plate.

The zero point for measuring the accumulation height shall be constituted by the upper edge of the
weir/overfall, e.g. the upper edge of the loose flange. The reference height is thus the total accumulation
height as measured from the upper edge of the plate or loose flange.

The nominal size of the discharge pipe shall correspond to the nominal size of the outlet of the parapet drain.

The flow rate is obtained from the maximum possible inflow at a head of water h in accordance with Figure 11,
constant over a period of 10 min in accordance with the requirements specified in Table 3.

The performance curve shall be determined in accordance with 5.5.2.2.

5.5.4 Roof drains and parapet drains for siphonic drainage

The tank may be round or square. Its diameter or side lengths shall be at least 1,75 m.

The roof drain or parapet drain shall be installed in a central and vertical position.

Water supply shall be through the anti-vortex inlet.

The measuring point for the accumulation height shall be (500 ± 5) mm from the middle of the roof drain or
parapet drain at two opposite points.

5.5.4.2 Procedure

The test may be carried out with or without a plate to simulate a roof surface. If a plate is used, it shall be
provided by the party requesting the test. When installed into a plate, the upper edge of the grating frame shall
not be lower than the upper edge of the plate.

The zero point for measuring the accumulation height shall be constituted by the upper edge of the
weir/overfall, e.g. the upper edge of the loose flange. The reference height is thus the total accumulation
height as measured from the upper edge of the plate or loose flange.

The flow rate in a completely filled state shall be kept constant over a period of 50+1 min.

Complete filling shall be considered to be reached at the point where, with increasing pressure head, no
further increase in performance is to be expected and no further noticeable entry of air can be observed at the
outlet or inside the pipe system.

A glass pipe is required for observation purposes.

The test may be performed with or without a valve at the end of the down pipe in order to determine the
various flow rates and the respective accumulation heights.

If no valve is used, the dimension of the down pipe shall correspond to the dimension of the outlet, and the
length of the down pipe shall be in accordance with Figure 12, a) or Figure 12, b). If a valve is used, the
dimension and length of the down pipe should be chosen such that the roof drain or parapet drain reaches the
maximum performance to be expected for the completely filled state.

The test shall be considered to have been passed, if the flow rate in accordance with Table 3 can be
maintained over a period of 50+1 min with a maximum head of water not exceeding 55 mm.

The performance curve shall be determined as follows:

— up to 6 l in steps of 1 l/s;

— up to 22 l in steps of 3 l/s.

The tolerance for the head of water may be ± 2 mm.

Figure 14 — Vacuum box (example)

Mount the roof drain or floor gully at the bottom of the test box in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and seal the outlet.

Cover the entire internal bottom surface of the test box in accordance with Figure 14 with sheet floor covering
or a membrane. If the roof drain or floor gully is designed for a number of different thicknesses of sheet floor
covering or membranes, tests for greatest and smallest thicknesses shall be carried out. When installing the
sheet floor covering, the instructions provided by the sheet floor or membrane manufacturer shall be followed.
In the case of systems with two sealing levels and connecting flanges with identical construction, only one of
the two flanges needs to be tested.

30
 BS EN 1253-2:2015
EN 1253-2:2015 (E)

The frame, consisting of the four side walls of the test box, is placed onto the bottom plate such that a tight
connection to the bottom plate is established. The resulting box is filled with cold water up to a water level of
100 mm above the sealing level. To avoid vertical movement of the roof drain or floor gully, it may be
necessary to insert a support leading to the cover of the test box (see Figure 14).

After the test box has been closed in a tight manner with the transparent cover, a pressure of −10 kPa for floor
gullies as well as balcony drains with LARWK and −20 kPa for roof drains shall be established inside the box.
For the duration of 100+1 min the test arrangement shall be observed for the formation of bubbles keeping the
pressure at −10 kPa for floor gullies as well as balcony drains with LARWK and −20 kPa for roof drains.

If no visible bubbles are detected after 100+1 min, the vacuum shall be released. After 24 h under atmospheric
pressure, the roof drain or floor gully shall be inspected underneath and inside the vacuum box. If there is no
leakage, the roof drain or floor gully is considered as watertight.

5.7 Behaviour when exposed to hot bitumen or asphalt

Mount the roof drain or floor gully at the bottom of the test box in accordance with the manufacturer's
installation instructions and seal the outlet.

Arrange the flange horizontally, with the roof drain or floor gully inlet closed (grating replaced by cover), and
pour oil heated to (220 ± 5) °C over the flange to cover it, and allow to rest for 5 min.

This test shall be carried out at ambient temperature of 15 °C to 20 °C.

Check to ensure that there is no deformation or change in surface texture impairing the fitness for use.

The test does not apply to roof drains or floor gullies of any metallic materials.

5.8 Determination of resistance in climatic influences

a) Pre-treat the specimens by storing them for 48 h in water of a temperature of (15 ± 2) °C;

b) Subject the pre-treated specimens directly to five continuous freeze–thaw cycles according to the
following schedule:

1) conditioning in a freezing chamber for at least 2 h at (−20 ± 2) °C;

2) thawing in water at a temperature of (15 ± 2) °C;

3) allow to rest in water for at least 1 h;

4) check the specimens for defects due to frost.

c) Immediately subject the specimens to five hot-cold cycles according to the following schedule:

1) conditioning to a temperature of not less than (80 ± 2) °C for 2 h;

2) cooling to ambient temperature;

3) check the specimens for any defects due to combined stress.

31
BS EN 1253-2:2015
EN 1253-2:2015 (E)

5.9 Temperature cycling test

Mount the floor gully in accordance with Figure 5. Connect a suitable pipe to the outlet of the floor gully (the
outlet shall be open all the time). When different versions of the same components exist, the test shall be
done for the most unfavourable of their combinations.

Admit water through the grating or, if this is not possible, through the side inlet(s) as follows:

a) (0,5 ± 0,05) l/s of hot water at (93 ± 2) °C for (60 ± 2) s;

b) pause for (60 ± 2) s;

c) (0,5 ± 0,05) l/s of cold water at (15 ± 10) °C for (60 ± 2) s;

d) pause for (60 ± 2) s.

Repeat this cycle 1 500 times (100 h).

Check to ensure that there is no deformation or change in surface texture of any component which would
impair the fitness for use.

This test does not apply to floor gullies made exclusively of metallic materials.

6 Allocation and sequence of tests

The allocation and sequence for the tests of roof drains and floor gullies are given in Annex A.

7 Marking
