UPVC rainwater system specifications involve material (UV-stabilized UPVC), types (half-round/square gutters, downpipes), dimensions (various diameters like 110mm, 160mm for pipes; widths like 120mm, 220mm for gutters), lengths ( 3-6mtr ), and fittings (elbows, couplers, outlets), focusing on weather resistance, high water capacity (e.g., 80L/mtr), and compatibility for domestic/industrial use, adhering to standards like IS 13592 for pipes.
