Smith for the Construction/Commercial Plumbing and Drainage Market in the United States, Canada, and International Market places includes </span> Siphonic Roof Drains/Siphonic Roof Drainage Systems<span style="font-weight: 400"> working in tandem with Rainwater Harvesting to provide </span> GREEN Building Solutions<span style="font-weight: 400"> and Qualify for </span> LEEDS points<span style="font-weight: 400">. After several years of </span> Siphonic Roof Drain<span style="font-weight: 400"> prototype development and testing, Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. is pleased to provide owners and the plumbing engineering community patent-pending, specified roof drain products for siphonic roof drainage systems. We currently offer </span> Siphonic Roof Drains<span style="font-weight: 400"> Figure Number 1005 (Low Profile Dome) Siphonic Roof Drain, the 1005 Siphonic Roof Drain with Male Thread Outlet and the </span> 1005Y Siphonic Roof Drains<span style="font-weight: 400"> (No-Hub Outlet). We also supply Figure Number 1605 (Low Profile Gutter Drain) Siphonic Roof Gutter Drain, the 1605T with Male Threaded Outlet and the </span> 1605Y Siphonic Roof Drains<span style="font-weight: 400"> (No-Hub Outlet).</span> <br><br> Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co.’s siphonic roof drains promote full-bore flow within engineered siphonic roof drainage piping systems.<br>Fully tested and certified in accordance with ANSI/ ASTM A112.6.9 “Siphonic Roof Drains” and representing the first-line of specified roof drains complying with this American National Standard. Cast of solid ASTM 48 grey iron and utilizing the same set of accessories already familiar to the plumbing engineer and installer, thus making specification and installation of Siphonic Roof Drains as easy as traditional roof drains. The castings contain mainly recycled metal content making the products a part of a sustainable consumer cycle. <br>  <h3><span style="font-weight: 400">The low-profile nature of the baffle component of competitive </span>siphonic roof drains<span style="font-weight: 400"> can make them prone to quicker blockage by debris. </span>Smith’s siphonic roof drains<span style="font-weight: 400"> have a </span>polyethylene dome strainer<span style="font-weight: 400"> to help protect the baffle from debris accumulation and allow for the passage of water even if debris collects around the strainer base. This design makes our </span>siphonic roof drains<span style="font-weight: 400"> behave in the </span>same manner as traditional roof drains in all types of rainfall and roof conditions<span style="font-weight: 400">.</span></h3> <h2> </h2> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Did you know that a </span>siphonic roof drain system can reduce stormwater runoff from the roof<span style="font-weight: 400">? In a </span>siphonic system<span style="font-weight: 400"> several roof drain outlets can be connected to a single vertical discharge pipe reducing the number of discharge points. Fewer discharge points mean the </span>water can be easily routed for storage and reuse<span style="font-weight: 400">. This in turn controls the amount of rainwater being fed into the </span>stormwater systems<span style="font-weight: 400"> or runoff area. </span>Once the water is stored it can be used for landscaping irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing, and custodial uses<span style="font-weight: 400">. </span>Rainwater harvesting<span style="font-weight: 400"> Sewage conveyance and landscape irrigation – “Maximize water efficiency within buildings to reduce the burden on municipal water supply and wastewater system.” </span></h2> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Did you know that a </span>siphonic roof drain system<span style="font-weight: 400"> can be used successfully with rainwater harvesting? A </span>siphonic roof drain system<span style="font-weight: 400"> allows for piping to a water harvesting system so that it can be stored and used for non-potable applications such as in irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing, mechanical systems, and custodial uses. </span>Products incorporate recycled content<span style="font-weight: 400"> materials – “During construction, ensure that the specified recycled content materials are installed and quantify the total percentages of </span>recycled content materials installed<span style="font-weight: 400">.”</span>  <br> Siphonic Roof Drains save Construction costs AND provide an opportunity to qualify for LEED<font size="1">TM</font> Points for Green Buildings as part of the "GREEN" Project, the U.S. Green Building Council and conserve water through rainwater harvesting. Siphonic Roof Drains are a vehicle to gain these LEED points and save money on installation costs of roof drains.</h2> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <h2></h2> <h3></h3> <h4> </h4> <p> </p> <p>-This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p> <p><b>Roof Drains</b> are a valuable component of a buildings structure when considering the functions they perform. <b>Roof Drains remove rainwater</b> from the roof in many ways such as simply sending the rainwater through a gutter to the ground or the roof drain may serve as a means of <b>channeling the rainwater</b> from the roof to a <b>rainwater harvesting system</b> which can be used to collect the <b>rainwater from the roof and channel the water to objects such as a cistern</b> which would serve as a holding tank for the rainwater which could then be used at a later time for many applications such as irrigation or the rainwater could be filtered through systems such as an <b>ultraviolet ray water purification system</b> to be used in consumable applications such as washing machines, dishwashers or if filtered properly, human consumption! As <b>water become a more valuable resource</b>, we will continue to find ways to preserve and/or recycle our water supplies. Obviously as the population of this county and the world continue to grow, water WILL BECOME A MORE VALUABLE RESOURCE. <b> Siphonic Roof Drains</b> are an excellent way to maximize a small investment in construction cost(s) as part of a <b>water recycling effort</b> which will likely become significantly valuable for generations. Consider Siphonic Roof Drains as an alternative approach to traditional roof drains. <b>Siphonic Roof Drainage systems</b> are now the <b>standard in roof drainage systems in Europe and rapidly expanding to the United States</b>.</p> <p> </p> </body>
