1 ROOF Drain TO ROOF AREA Sizing SCHEDULEUse the above sketch in combination with the table of the variable rainfall rates below to determine the appropriate quantityand size of the roof drains required when you know:a) the total roof areab) the approximate Drain diameter you will useNote: When determining the number roof drains required recognize that the smaller the roof Drain outlet diameterthe more drains you will need. Conversely, the larger the Drain outlet diameter the fewer you will to calculate the quantity of drains required:1.) Calculate the roof area to be ) Estimate the roof Drain outlet size you will likely : Roof area is 200' x 500' = 100,000 sq. : 4' roof drain3.) Determine your building s location on the above map to determine the approximate rainfall as measured in inches per : The location of Kansas City, MO shows 6" of rainfall per ) Select a reference of a roof Drain size with hourly rainfall together with the roof area square footage you have estimatedand then determine from the chart below how many roof drains you : Each 4" Drain size in a 6" hourly rainfall area will accommodate drainage of 3,070 sq.
