Monodraught Sun Tunnel for EPDM Flat Rubber Roof
The SUNPIPE natural daylight flat roof light tunnel for EPDM rubber roofs directs sunlight into a room from roof level. The SUNPIPE collects daylight using a patented Diamond dome, using a silverised PVD coated mirror-finished aluminium tube to transfer light to a room, with a ceiling diffuser evenly distributing the light around the room. SUNPIPES are suited to almost any application and have been installed anywhere from residential bedrooms to the Olympic Handball Arena in London.
Sunpipe is designed for optimum efficiency and long working life and comes with a 10-year guarantee.
The kit comes complete with an Orion Curved Microprism Diffuser, all the necessary fixings and full installation instructions.

Light Output
Lengths & Bends
Smaller sizes have a recommended total maximum pipe length of 8 m. Larger sizes allow for longer lengths to be used.
There is a 12% reduction of light output for each 45° bend used and there is a 6% reduction in light transmission for every metre of SUNPIPE.
30° & 45° adjustable elbows can be used with all SUNPIPE applications to direct daylight to where it is required.
