Deep Flow Gutter 4m

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.

Product Description

Deep Flow Gutter

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 vs half round

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.

What a deep flow gutter 4m does

  • Catches a heavier sheet of water off larger or steeper roof planes
  • Gives more freeboard before the gutter overspills onto fascia and brickwork
  • Feeds 68mm downpipes already common on domestic systems
  • Still looks like a tidy eaves gutter, just deeper than half round

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, brackets and expansion

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).

How to install a deep flow gutter 4m

  1. Mark the outlet plumb over the drain.
  2. Fix the outlet and set a string line for fall.
  3. Fix deep-flow brackets along that line.
  4. Clip in each deep flow gutter 4m. Cut with a fine saw and deburr.
  5. Join with the correct unions — seat the seals fully.
  6. Fit angles and stop ends from the same system.
  7. Connect 68mm downpipe with offsets so the pipe sits tidy on the wall.
  8. Water-test before leaving site.
