The modern roof drain
is designed to drain off
rain water in the most
effective manner
possible while
maintaining an aesthetic
appeal because in many
instances it is placed in
full view of the public.

Mushroom or domed
strainer: stop debris,
flat vs. dome (2x area
of pipe)
2.
A combination
Flashing Clamp and
Gravel stop:
watertight connection
between roof and roof
drain, notched guard
stops gravel

Accessories
1. Sump Receiver R to
accommodate hole cut
in roof to fit drain body
for a flush installation
2. Extensions E secures
and supports body and
adjust for insulation
thickness
3. Deck Clamp C in
pre-cast, wood, or steel,
secures drain to roof
esp. during expansion

Selection Basics
Flow conditions (rainfall data for local area,
constant/intermittent flow)
Roof size: small roof (<10,000 sq.ft) versus
large roof (>= 10,000 sq.ft)
ATS offers a wide variety of drainage and
drainage specialty options to suit every need
Jay R. Smith (Canada), Watts (U.S.)
Several typically used types (see following
slides)
Types of Flow
Standard Flow
Drains water as quickly as
it falls
Discharge rate
determined by size of
area and design rate of
rainfall
Need local rainfall
intensities and
climatological data
Models: Jay R. Smith
1010, 1330, 1017
Controlled Flow
Water allowed to
accumulate, drained off
at a controlled rate
Reduced flow rates mean
smaller pipe sizes, strain
on sewage treatment
plants
Provide adequate scupper
and overflow drains
Models: Jay R. Smith
1083, 1017
Types of Flow
Weirs sizes are calculated
to convey water at a
predetermined rate
Max. 2 weirs usually used
Good for areas with
uneven rainfall patterns
Allows use of smaller
diameter pipe sizes
(economical) and reduced
need to rely on city water
during dry spells

A green roof is a
vegetated roof with
growth media
composition to
support growing
plants. It provides
evaporative cooling,
converts carbon
dioxide to oxygen
and reduces
stormwater runoff
