1) Bottom outlet configuration - 16" and 24" joists
- In this configuration, the roof drain piping is vertical and will clear the joists allowing pipe runs in any direction through the attic space.
- This is the most common type of installation.
- Unlimited pipe run options

2) Side outlet roof drain configurations for joists that are 16" on center minimum
This section applies when you have limited space between the roof and ceiling and need to use a side outlet roof drain. The side outlet roof drain incorporates the 90 degree bend into the drain body, thereby requiring less vertical installation space.

3) Side outlet roof drain configurations for joists that are 24" on center minimum
This configuration can also be used when installation space is minimum. With the joists at 24" minimum spacing, you have ample space to configure your pipe runs in almost any direction. This versatility becomes useful when you need to maneuver around objects such as electrical fixtures, conduit, mechanical ducting etc. in the joist bay.

Here a few features and benefits for these products:
Model SCP roof drain pan is a truly unique design as there was NO sump pan available for the small 8-1/2″ double roof drain until it’s development by Roof Drain Pans Co.
- It very effectively eliminates the need for the installer to build labor intensive wood sump boxes while on the jobsite.
- Prior to the sump pan design, wood boxes were the main existing technology for sumping roof drains and for the most part, still are. It also accepts several roof drain brands so you have added product selection.
- Having a prefabricated metal sump pan on the jobsite dramatically increases production while decreasing labor costs for a contractor, builder or architect.
It is designed to very rapidly “sump” or lower the double, one piece (base) roof drain, two inches below the roof deck which creates positive drainage, a vital necessity for any roof drain. With positive drainage, standing pools of rain water are eliminated from the flat roof surface and are prevented from forming in the future. The SAVINGS on roof repairs to the property owner cannot be understated.
Having a prefabricated metal sump pan on the jobsite dramatically increases production while decreasing labor costs for a contractor, builder or architect.
The double roof drain configuration conveniently combines the primary and secondary, or overflow roof drain, together which complies with the plumbing code requirement for an overflow roof drain to accompany the primary roof drain. The double roof drain is also referred to as a combination roof drain or roof drain and overflow.
This bulletproof roof drain and sturdy sump pan will provide years of trouble-free service.
