1.1.1 Overview
The Geberit Pluvia roof drainage system allows large roof
areas to be drained with just a few roof outlets and stacks.
In contrast to conventional roof drainage systems, the
piping system is completely filled with water in the case of
Geberit Pluvia. As a result, a negative pressure occurs in
the piping system, which causes the rainwater to be
quickly suctioned off the roof.
Due to the suction effect, Geberit Pluvia is significantly

more powerful than conventional roof drainage systems.
Large roof areas can therefore be drained with just a few
stacks. This simplifies planning and reduces costs and
building time.
Geberit Pluvia can be used in both insulated and non-

insulated roofs as well as in gutters. Whether 1000 m2 or
100,000 m2 – Geberit Pluvia is always the right system.

1.1.2 Function
This suction effect is technically used by Geberit Pluvia.
Functional principle When it rains heavily, the Geberit Pluvia piping system
completely fills with water. A closed water column results
from the roof outlet to the transition to the conventional
As soon as water enters the hose from the raised
piping system. The water accumulates on the roof up to a
receptacle, a pressure difference results between the
defined height. The pressure of the accumulated water
receptacle and outlet due to the water column in the
causes the water column to move through the collector
section h. This pressure difference leads to a negative
pipe. When the water column falls from the collector pipe
pressure in the system. As a result, the water is suctioned
into the stack, a negative pressure occurs in the piping
from the receptacle into the hose.
system. At the same time, a complete filling is achieved in
the piping system. As a result of the negative pressure,
the rainwater is suctioned from the roof into the piping
system.
In order to attain a complete filling of the pipeline and thus

the suction effect caused by the negative pressure, no air
may enter the piping system. For this reason, the piping
system must be precisely dimensioned. The entrance of
air is prevented by the design of the Geberit Pluvia roof
outlets. They are equipped with a function disc that only
allows the rainwater to flow in laterally and thus air-free.

Advantages of Geberit Pluvia over

conventional roof drainage
systems
As a result of the complete filling of the piping system, the
Geberit Pluvia roof drainage system has several
advantages over a conventional roof drainage system.
• Laying the pipelines without slopes increases planning
flexibility and planning security
• More cost-effective thanks to fewer stacks and
underground pipes as well as smaller pipe dimensions
• Optimal planning, tendering and work preparation with
the Geberit ProPlanner software
Conventional roof drainage system
• Many roof outlets

• Pipes must be laid on a slope
• Many stacks
• Complicated underground pipes
• Large pipe dimensions
Roof drainage with Geberit Pluvia
• Fewer roof outlets due to the high drainage capacity per

roof outlet
• Space savings
• Reduced construction effort
• Smaller pipe dimensions
• Self-cleaning of the pipes due to high flow speeds
• Architectonic freedom

1.1.3 System components

Geberit Pluvia consists of the following system components:
The Geberit Pluvia roof outlets collect the rainwater that accumulates and
prevent air from flowing into the piping system with the rainwater.
Geberit Pluvia roof outlets
S.O.S
The Geberit Pluvia emergency overflows collect rainwater in addition to
the roof outlets when the actual rainfall exceeds the drainage capacity of
the roof drainage system.
Geberit Pluvia emergency overflows
The Geberit HDPE piping system is a practice-oriented product range that

is characterised by a low weight and absolute tightness of the welding
joint.
Geberit HDPE piping system
The fastening system is for fastening the Geberit HDPE piping system and
accommodates its changes in length caused by temperature changes.
Fastening system
In order for the piping system to be completely filled, it must be precisely

dimensioned. The Roof drainage module of the Geberit ProPlanner
software calculates the necessary parameters. Geberit Pluvia roof outlets
and pipes are dimensioned in such a way that a complete filling of the
piping system is ensured.
Geberit ProPlanner calculation software
Geberit Pluvia is made of high-quality, long-lasting components. Durable

polyethylene (HDPE) is used for the pipes. In addition, you can benefit
from Geberit’s decades of experience in the fields of planning and design.
This is just one of the reasons why with the Geberit Pluvia drainage
system reliability is guaranteed.

Geberit HDPE piping system

The Geberit HDPE piping system consists of:
• Pipes d40–315
• Fittings
• Joints (electrofusion sleeve couplings, electrofusion couplings with integrated thermal fuses)
• Adapters for other piping systems
Figure 16: Geberit HDPE piping system
Geberit HDPE pipes and fittings can be connected to each other by various methods, such as electrofusion welding, butt
welding or mechanical connection. The material properties of Geberit HDPE make it possible to prefabricate the
components of the piping system so that it can be mounted on-site as it is. In this way, sections can be prefabricated in a
safe, clean environment. The prefabrication makes it possible to mount Geberit Pluvia more safely and more easily. This
saves product material and working time, which minimises the installation costs. The following tables show which Geberit
HDPE fittings are suitable for the Geberit Pluvia roof drainage system.

Geberit ProPlanner Software

The Geberit Pluvia is used optimally when the piping
system fills quickly and all pipe sections empty evenly.
The piping system therefore has to be precisely
dimensioned.
The dimensioning depends on:
• rainfall
• size of the roof area
• roof structure
• pipe layout
With Geberit ProPlanner, this data can be recorded and

even complex roof projects can be easily calculated.

Pipe laying with conventional rigid installation:
• can be used for horizontal and vertical pipes
• recommended up to DN 125 (d125)
• expansion forces that result from thermally caused changes in length are transferred to the building structure
• specific force transmission is accommodated at the anchor points
Anchor and sliding points:
Conventional rigid installation is not recommended for fastening Geberit Pluvia roof drainage systems. If no other type of
fastening is possible, anchor and sliding points should be configured as follows:

Forces generated in Geberit HDPE pipes with rigid installation

Much greater forces are generated during cooling than during heating. Under normal conditions, the values in column 1
can be used. The fastening is to be calculated based on the values in column 2 for pipelines that are laid outdoors, e.g.
when constructing bridges. For rigid installation, pipe brackets are to be used with struts that are appropriately supported
by the building structure in accordance with the calculated forces. In such cases, ensure that the fastening screws can
withstand the generated forces.

Supports for Geberit Pluvia fastening system

The supports provide additional support to the Geberit Pluvia fastening system in the event of unfavourable framework
conditions.
Unfavourable framework conditions are, for example, turbulence, pressure changes or stalls.
In order to avoid mechanical malfunctions caused by unfavourable framework conditions, supports are used for:
• pipe deflections
• large pipe dimensions from ø = 75 cm
• suspensions
– pipes d75: suspended by more than 100 cm
– pipes ≥ d90: suspended by more than 60 cm
• very long, straight pipe runs > 10 m
Figure 65: Supports
The supports consist of:
• support brackets d75–315 (pipe brackets with articulated joints)
• struts (1/2" threaded rods)
• fasteners on the building (mounting plates)
The struts are not included in the product range. They must be procured separately.
The supports can be subsequently mounted on Geberit Pluvia roof drainage systems.
The following table shows how the components of the supports are used depending on the pipe dimension.

Determining the spacing and number of supports

The spacing and number of supports are determined based on the length of the pipe sections:
• for pipe sections with a length of less than 3 m no support is necessary
• for pipe sections with a length of more than 3 m a support must be provided on the side of the longer pipe section
after each change in direction
• for pipe sections with a length of more than 10 m supports are placed at defined positions in the pipe section (see
following table)

2.7.3 Emergency drainage with Valley gutters

gutters
Emergency overflows must be correctly positioned. This is
Roofs with gutter drainage can be drained with emergency especially important for valley gutters (e.g. with sawtooth
overflows in the gutter. roofs) because the emergency overflow function can only
be ensured through the front sides of the gutter.
Eaves gutters Pay attention to the following points:

• Emergency overflows must be provided on both front
In the case of eaves gutters, the lower front edge can be sides
used as an emergency overflow. • Emergency overflows must be as wide as the gutter and
open upwards
• The lower edge of the emergency overflow must be
5.5-10 cm above the next roof outlet opening

2.7.4 Emergency drainage with Geberit Pluvia emergency overflows

For emergency drainage, Geberit Pluvia roof outlets can be used in conjunction with the corresponding Geberit Pluvia
emergency overflow simply, quickly and without increasing the roof membrane.
For flat roofs Geberit Pluvia roof outlet and Geberit Pluvia emergency overflow should be planned in the immediate
vicinity (approx. 1 m) of each other.

The Geberit Pluvia emergency overflow system is a drainage system that is separate from the Geberit Pluvia roof
drainage system. The collected rainwater must be drained unhindered to land areas that can be flooded without causing
damage.

Conventional emergency drainage Dimensioning of emergency overflows

According to DIN 1986-100:2008, drainage and

emergency overflow systems must be able to drain more
than the 5-minute rainfall (r (5,100)) together at the site of the
building as a minimum.
The minimum discharge capacity of the emergency

overflows results from the difference between the 5-minute

following empirical value:
Total rainfall in l/s x 25 cm2

Example:
• Roof area with 4 roof outlets of 8 l/s each
• Total rainfall: 4 x 8 l/s = 32 l/s multiplied by 25 cm2 = 800
cm2
In order to ensure optimum discharge of the rainwater and

prevent excessive loading of the roof, the height of the
emergency overflow must be kept between 10 and max.
15 cm.
Applied to this example, this yields a requirement for

emergency overflow openings of 80 x 10 cm or 54 x 15 cm.
The total requirement should be divided among several
openings, e.g. 4 openings of 20 x 10 cm each.

• The branch discharge pipe of the roof outlet must
always be fastened with an anchor point.
• In order to ensure the drainage capacities of the roof
outlets, the function disc and the outlet grating must be
installed immediately after the roof sealing work has
been completed. If these are not installed, only
emergency drainage that performs significantly less well
is available during the construction phase.
• When connecting roof sealings and contact sheets for
gutters, ensure that the roof outlet is not damaged
during the installation or welding procedure. 30 5

Check points:
• Check the configured system with the configuration
plans and the configuration calculation.
In particular:
– the roof area effectively exposed to rain
– the capacity factor
– the arrangement, configuration and correct
installation of the Geberit Pluvia roof outlets and the
corresponding protection against flushing in of
substrate. The operating parts must be completely
present and the outlet grating must be firmly
attached to the roof outlet
– the pipe layout and pipe dimensions
– the design of the transition from the complete to the
partial filling system (transition section)
– the configuration of possible cleaning and service
openings
– the deviations from approved plans must be tracked
and subjected to a control calculation.
• Check products used. Only Geberit pipes and fittings
that are suitable for Geberit Pluvia may be installed.
• Check the fastenings, correct form and number of the
pipe fixations.
• Check that the emergency overflows are correctly and
completely arranged.
• Clean the roof area before commissioning it. Ensure that
no residue of packaging or insulation material remains
on the roof area.
• Flush all roof drainage pipes.

5.1 General maintenance notes
5 Maintenance
5.1 General maintenance notes

The building owner must check and maintain the Geberit
Pluvia roof drainage system. Geberit recommends using
skilled persons to plan and carry out this work.
Checks and maintenance must be performed periodically

or as required and recorded in writing.
Control and maintenance work make it possible to

recognize and correct signs of wear and damage early on.
This extends the service life of the roof drainage system.
Furthermore, the ageing behaviour of the roof structure
can be evaluated and a modernisation can be planned in
the long term.
After storms, the building owner or a skilled person must

check the roof drainage system.
Regular maintenance of the flat roof, the drainage gutter

and the roof outlets ensures continuously safe and
optimum roof drainage.
5.1.1 Regular maintenance work

• A 50 cm wide zone must be kept free from vegetation
around the Geberit Pluvia roof outlet (e.g. with a gravel
bed). Contamination, e.g. by leaves or growth must be
periodically removed to prevent humus formation or
blockage.
• The cleaning must be performed regularly according to
the respective environmental influences and also
includes flat roof, drainage gutter as well as emergency
overflows.
• Contamination and blockage of the pipelines of critical
roof structures must be prevented by periodically
cleaning the pipes.

large amounts of sand
In areas with large amounts of sand, further

measures must be taken in addition to the general ≤ 3 cm
maintenance regulations.
Additional instructions for maintenance in areas with large

amounts of sand: 1
• After a sand storm, the roof drainage system must be 2
checked by the building owner or the skilled person 3
employed by the building owner.
• If the sand on the roof (gutter) is higher than 3 cm, then
an area measuring 1 x 1 m around the roof outlet must
be completely cleaned and free of sand. Figure 81: Maximum sand height 3 cm
• To ensure that the bended pipe section is free of sand,
Geberit recommends filling the roof outlets with water. If 1 Geberit Pluvia roof outlet
