Dome Roof Drain FD-860

This Revit family is a dome roof drain FD-860 featuring a robust metal body and a protective stainless steel wire mesh strainer. The FD-860 is a heavy-duty roof drain designed for effective water management on flat or low-slope roofing systems. It consists of a durable, cast-metal base with a stepped cylindrical outlet for secure integration into standard drainage pipework. The primary feature is the prominent domed strainer, constructed from a fine-gauge stainless steel mesh. This component prevents debris, leaves, and gravel from entering the plumbing system while maintaining high-volume water flow. The assembly is secured by a circular metal clamping ring, ensuring a tight, weather-resistant seal at the roof membrane interface.

The download is a 328 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.

Engineers and designers can load this component into a Revit project as a face-based family, allowing for precise placement on flat roof surfaces or floor slabs. The geometry is optimized for use in drainage schedules and MEP documentation, where it can be connected to standard pipe systems. Users should verify that the drain invert levels are correctly aligned with the roof pitch and structural floor build-ups to ensure accurate hydraulic modelling within the BIM environment.

This roof drain is essential for commercial, industrial, and large-scale residential projects requiring reliable storm water management. It is typically specified for flat roofs, terraces, and parking decks where debris accumulation is a concern. Professionals search for this asset when detailing roof drainage plans or coordinating civil and MEP services. It effectively pairs with standard drainage pipework layouts, ensuring compliance with building codes regarding storm water runoff and roof maintenance accessibility in complex architectural structures.
