This deep flow gutter 4m is a high-capacity uPVC rainwater gutter for roofs that overflow a standard half-round system. The profile is 114mm wide and 71mm deep, so it holds and moves more water than a classic 112mm half-round channel.
Each length is 4 metres. Colours: White, Black, Anthracite Grey and Brown. This deep flow gutter 4m is designed to work with a 68mm downpipe system.
£1.00
Performance on this product: flow rate 1.8 litres per second and a drained roof area of 86m² (typical single-outlet figure — exact capacity still depends on fall and whether the outlet is at the end or in the middle of the run).
SKU: DRG4
Also known as: deepflow gutter, hi-cap gutter, high capacity gutter, 4m deep flow, 114mm gutter.
| Deep flow gutter 4m (this product) | Half round gutter 4m | |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Deeper, higher capacity | Traditional curved channel |
| Size | 114mm wide × 71mm deep | Standard domestic half round |
| Length | 4m | 4m |
| Downpipe | 68mm | Typically 68mm |
| Guide capacity | 1.8 l/s · ~86m² | Lower — fine for smaller roofs |
| Best for | Larger planes, heavy rain, fewer overflows | Typical houses, like-for-like replacement |
If the existing gutters are half round and the roof is modest, stay on half round so the look matches. If the same elevation ponds or overshoots in heavy rain, step up to a deep flow gutter 4m.
Do not mix deep-flow lengths with half-round fittings. Seals and clips are system-specific.

A centre running outlet on a long elevation will usually serve more roof than a stop-end outlet at one end. For very large or multi-bay roofs, add extra outlets rather than stretching one run.
Tiles should overhang slightly into the gutter. Too short and water misses the channel; too tight against the back and debris dams the flow.
Fall
Fall the deep flow gutter 4m towards the outlet. A common target is about 1:350 (roughly 3mm per metre). Level gutters silt and overflow sooner.
Brackets
Typical spacing up to 600mm centres; closer on exposed or snow-load elevations. Place a bracket within about 150mm of every joint, angle, outlet and stop end.
Expansion
uPVC moves. Leave the system’s marked gap at unions. Do not glue sealed clip joints.
Outlet height
Sit the gutter close under the roof edge so water drops in cleanly (often around 50mm below the tile line — follow the fitting instructions).
Keep every fitting in the same deep-flow system and colour. We can take off a list from a sketch of the elevations and drain positions.

What is a deep flow gutter 4m?

This listing is rated around 86m² and 1.8 l/s as a guide. Fall and outlet position change the real figure.
What downpipe does it use?
68mm.
