Product catalog summary
Introduction
ACO Building Drainage presents the ACO FreeDeck, a modern drainage system designed to address the needs of contemporary construction. It aims to mitigate design risks, lower costs, and deliver high performance with excellent finishes. The system adheres to ISO 9001-2008 standards and offers a variety of drainage solutions for roofs, balconies, and wetrooms.

Linear Deck Drainage Systems
The ACO FreeDeck is tailored for flat roofs and terraces, providing level access drainage through a combination of line and point drainage to effectively manage rainwater. It is versatile, suitable for both warm and inverted roof constructions, and complies with UK national access regulations.

Key Features
The system provides adaptable rainwater management solutions for raised deck constructions, ensuring safe access, eliminating ponding, and maintaining a discreet and attractive appearance. It supports applications such as flat roof drainage, threshold drainage, and façade drainage.

Components
The system includes channels and gratings made from galvanised or stainless steel, featuring height-adjustable and fixed-height channels, adjustable corners, and end plates. Gratings come in mesh or slot patterns and are tamper-resistant.

Installation
Installation guidelines are available for various roof types, including inverted roofs with level access thresholds, warm roof podium decks, and inverted roof parapet terraces. The system is designed for quick installation with minimal site work.

Specification
The ACO FreeDeck system is suitable for diverse construction types, made from galvanised or stainless steel, and includes linear, percolating rainwater drainage channels with lockable gratings, complying with FACTA Load Class A standards.

Bespoke Solutions
ACO offers custom design services to meet specific project needs, such as integrating rainwater downpipes into the drainage system without additional site work.
Overview
The document details ACO Building Drainage systems, focusing on the ACO FreeDeck Linear Deck Drainage Systems and related rainwater outlets, designed for warm and inverted roof constructions.

Specifications
ACO FreeDeck systems require low maintenance, with bi-annual inspections to clear blockages. Protective gloves should be used when handling metal components, and caustic or bleach cleaners should be avoided to prevent damage to the galvanizing.

Flow Performance
Flow performance is calculated using ACO Hydro design software, expressed in liters per second per meter run of channel. Mesh gratings provide a greater free area compared to slotted gratings.

Product Features
1. HP Two Way Screw Outlet: Provides watertight connections to external rainwater pipes at the junction between flat roof and parapet wall.
2. HP Balcony Spigot Outlet: Suitable for installation against abutment walls, connecting pipes from higher level balconies.
3. HP Vertical Spigot Outlet: Suitable for warm and inverted roof constructions, available with domed or flat gratings. All outlets are made from diecast aluminum and compatible with cast iron or uPVC pipes.

Maintenance Recommendations
Gratings should be cleaned with a natural or plastic bristle brush and flushed with clean water. Reassemble all parts after cleaning, noting any losses.

The challenge - a green roof drainage system accommodating both surface and subsurface water with the added requirement to incorporate flow from additional rainwater down pipes, all of which have to drain to only one outlet. To minimise construction time the contractor requested a number of modular design features. Overall depth of the system caters for both low level water percolation (1) as well as providing the necessary capacity (2) to achieve a single outlet discharge point. 1 2 Integration...
