The Geberit ProPlanner software
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
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.
Geberit Pluvia Advantages
■ New architectural flexibility in building and use
■ No slope in pipework required
■ Less underground pipes
■ Less sitework
■ Fewer pipes and fittings
■ Reduced pipe dimensions
■ 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.

Siphonic System
■ 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.

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.
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 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.
