Full details

The Danelaw RP3 Open Tile Valley Trough is designed for roofers and builders seeking an efficient, cost-effective drainage solution for roof valleys.

A potential caveat is its suitability for roof pitches over 17.5°, requiring verification for specific projects. This 3-meter long, UV-resistant GRP trough offers a lightweight, durable, and low-maintenance alternative to metal valleys, featuring a universal width and a vertical weather check for enhanced performance.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling in the valley

Ensure the trough is correctly installed with adequate fall towards the outlet. Check for any debris or blockages within the trough or at the outlet point. Verify the roof pitch meets the minimum requirement of 17.5°.

Trough appears damaged or cracked

Inspect the area for signs of impact or stress. If minor damage is present, assess if it compromises water channeling. For significant damage, replacement of the affected section or the entire trough may be necessary.

Difficulty achieving a secure tile fit

Ensure the valley battens are correctly prepared. Utilize the integrated mortar bonding strip for bedding tiles in mortar where necessary, creating a firm seal between the tiles and the trough.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Danelaw RP3 is designed for direct installation onto roof valley battens. Ensure the battens are sound and correctly spaced before fixing the trough. The trough can be cut to the required length using appropriate tools for a precise fit. A mortar bonding strip is integrated, allowing for traditional mortar bedding where tiles meet the trough, ensuring a secure seal.

Compatibility: This trough is compatible with slates, flat tiles, and profiled tiles. It is suitable for roof pitches over 17.5°.

Care: The RP3 Open Tile Valley Trough requires minimal maintenance. Its smooth, UV-resistant surface resists the build-up of dirt and debris. Periodically inspect the trough and surrounding roof area for any obstructions or damage. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
