Hello everyone,

can someone tell me which DIN standard specifies the required distance between downpipes and the exterior wall of a building? Is there any regulation on this at all, or can the metal worker freely choose the distance (for example, even no distance from the wall)?

I have 2cm (1 inch) in mind (but to my knowledge, this is not specified in any DIN standard).

How can a gap of 0 be possible? The clamps alone already create a gap of about 2-3cm (1-1.2 inches).

@nordanney 2cm (1 inch) gap from the raw wall and the plasterer just went ahead and did it.

@patricia821 I wouldn’t accept that and would insist on a correction. The sound transmission can be significant, especially if it’s a timber-framed house with external insulation (ETICS).
