Roof Drain

This Roof Drain is a functional Revit family component featuring a classic dome-top strainer design for efficient water runoff. The roof drain is a utilitarian plumbing component designed for integration into flat roof assemblies. It features a prominent, circular dome-style strainer that prevents debris from clogging the drainage system while allowing water flow. The geometry is clean and compact, finished in a neutral grey tone indicative of a metallic construction. Its profile includes a wide mounting flange at the base to ensure a secure, watertight connection to the roof membrane. The design is strictly functional, prioritising hydraulic performance and ease of installation within standard drainage layouts for various building types.

The download is a 205 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is typically hosted on a flat roof or floor surface to facilitate drainage coordination. Users can load the component into the project and place it on the roof plane using the face-based hosting functionality. It is advisable to align the drain with the slope of the roof during the design development phase to ensure accurate drainage paths. The family maintains a low file size, making it suitable for complex MEP models without impacting overall project performance.

This asset is essential for MEP engineers and architects working on commercial, industrial, or residential projects requiring detailed roof drainage plans. It is frequently deployed during the construction documentation phase to verify plumbing layouts and roof penetrations. Professionals will search for this component when detailing roof assemblies, coordinating pipework routing, or establishing drainage schedules. It pairs effectively with other internal plumbing families and roof system components, ensuring a cohesive and technically accurate model for building services coordination and site drainage analysis.
