Geberit Pluvia is the leading siphonic roof drainage system used for over 30 years around the world in over 80,000 installations to drain 80 million
Long underground pipes
The Geberit ProPlanner software
sq metres through 300,000 outlets. Architects, Consultants and Contractors have chosen the system for some of the most prestigious and ground breaking building designs due to the freedom and flexibility it provides. Pluvia uses the ingenious gravity induced vacuum principle to create a siphonic action, which allows the complete drainage of a roof area with smaller diameter pipes than used in a conventional gravity system. Geberit Siphonic roof systems are widely used in the commercial and industrial sector for all roofs.
■ No slope in pipework required
The highly advanced software package easily allows the calculation of the most complex roof projects.
■ Less underground pipes
It offers distinct advantages:
Geberit Pluvia Advantages ■ New architectural flexibility in building and use
■ Less sitework ■ Fewer pipes and fittings
■ Convenient and very easy to operate
■ Reduced pipe dimensions
■ Considerable time savings
■ Less space required ■ Self cleaning action ■ A simple and speedy fastening system.
The Geberit Pluvia System is fully approved by the BBA. This includes outlets, pipes & fittings, and the dedicated design software. The product range includes outlets to suit most roof designs and finishes, with a comprehensive range of contact foils to suit the majority of roof membrane materials currently on the market. RIBA approved CPD seminars are available. Please contact Geberit for more information.
■ BBA approved ■ Meets the BS 8490 Code of Practice for siphonic systems ■ Provides: Isometric drawings Hydraulic calculations Material list incl. fixing components Cost calculation with ready to mail tender documents.

Pipes and fittings Geberit’s HDPE range of pipes and fittings complement the Pluvia outlet to provide a total drainage solution. Geberit HDPE is available in a variety of diameters from 40mm - 315mm, and can be jointed in a variety of different methods including electrofusion, butt welding and mechanical coupling. The outstanding material characteristics of Geberit HDPE allow specifiers and contractors to design and prefabricate pipe runs away from the site of the installation. Pipe runs can be created in a safe, clean environment ensuring secure and accurate fabrication as well as considerable material and labour savings.
The Geberit Pluvia Outlets Developed for all types of roof structures. Due to the different discharge rates of the outlets (6 l/s, 12 l/s or 25 l/s) an economical layout of the roof drainage system can be reached. The wide range of contact sheets and accessories allows connection to most roof finishes.
The Geberit Pluvia rail fixing system The Geberit Pluvia fastening system was developed for the installation of exposed, horizontal roof drainage piping. The expansion and contraction of the piping, which occur after installation are absorbed by the system itself. For this purpose, all mechanical forces are transmitted to the square steel rail routed parallel to the pipe.
Geberit Pluvia rail fixing features ■ Large spans between beams can be bridged ■ Fewer brackets on roof structures ■ Pre-assembly on the floor is possible: alignment of clamps on the rail, or alignment of clamps and of HDPE pipes on the rail ■ The clamps are conveniently secured with wedges ■ Only very simple tools are required for the assembly of the system. ■ The system overcomes fixing constraints on steel profile roofs ■ The clearance required to install insulation against condensation is accounted for in the design ■ The forces associated with changes in length as a result of temperature fluctuations are absorbed by the rail fastening.
