I would have been a bit more specific on the description. A type of drain (as there are many) that is installed on a flat roof that is designed to receive rainwater collecting on the surface of  a flat roof and to discharge it into a leader, downspout or conductor.  These three words are synonymous and simply mean the vertical piping.

How The All of the primary roof drains are connected together on the same line and are not connected to any other part of the roof drainage system with few exceptions. They are tasked with draining the rainwater to the ground or another disposal location (like underground). This is called “conveyance” in the engineering circles and is an extremely important concept but we will address that in another blog.

The primary roof drain is a single roof drain and it does all of the “heavy lifting” or most of the work in the roof drainage system. They are designed to be continuously in service and for this reason it is vital to prevent stoppages and make sure that they they are kept free of all debris.

It allows the water to pond on the roof  a maximum of two inches before coming into service. This is a plumbing code requirement. The overflow or backup roof drains protect the flat roof from caving in under the weight of standing rainwater should the main drains become clogged with debris.

NOTE: there are some very modern roofing materials that seal a roof and any component attached to it. This can render the membrane clamp unnecessary, however not installing it is not recommended as the dome attaches to it, and this part is equally necessary to have in place.  Always refer to the roof material manufacturer on this.

Roof drains shall have domed strainers. Exception: roof drain strainers for use on sun decks, parking decks, and similar areas that are normally serviced and maintained, shall be permitted to be of the flat surface type. Such strainers shall be level with the deck.

Dome strainers are included with the roof drain. Manufacturers provide a choice in materials generally as a special order. These can be made from aluminum, stainless steel, brass, ABS, PVC (plastic). Review their specs for the exact offering.

Ok, so the simplicity is that a roof drain prevents rainwater from ponding on any flat roof by draining it away to the ground.  Excellent. we’re glad it does.

This simple low tech device is a VITALLY important component in the roof drain assembly.  It could be said that it is the most important part. This is because the membrane clamp makes the water tight seal between the roof drain and the roof membrane or roof material. If this part isn’t used or incorrectly installed,  it will result in water intrusion into the building and subsequent property damage.

The overflow roof drain or as it is often referred to as the secondary roof drain, acts as a “backup” or a “failsafe” roof drain to the primary or main roof drain. It always has a 2″ water dam connected to it which looks like collar. This can be an external water dam that encircles the dome or it can be an internal water dam that is inside the dome. Both function the same These are pictured above.
