Roof Drain RD-100-W

This Revit family provides a roof drain RD-100-W, featuring a protective dome strainer for efficient commercial building drainage. The RD-100-W roof drain consists of a robust, heavy-duty metal base designed for integration into flat roofing systems. It includes a prominent, black cylindrical dome strainer that prevents debris from entering the primary drainage pipe while allowing for high-volume water flow. The assembly features a threaded central outlet and a mounting flange for secure installation into the roof deck. The construction is utilitarian, prioritising durability and functional performance over aesthetic considerations. All components are clearly defined, ensuring accurate representation within a BIM model for MEP coordination and drainage system planning.

The download is a 307 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 should load this RFA file into their Revit project as a host-based component. It is designed to be placed directly onto roof elements, where it can be connected to the building's stormwater piping network. Users can adjust the pipe connection sizes and elevation parameters to align with specific roof build-ups and drainage layouts. Ensure the drain is correctly mapped to the appropriate system classification within the project browser to maintain accurate schedules and system analysis.

This roof drain is essential for the design and documentation of flat roof systems in commercial, industrial, and large-scale residential projects. It is typically used by MEP engineers during the design development and construction documentation phases to ensure adequate site drainage. Professionals searching for this component will find it useful for creating detailed roof plans, drainage schematics, and BIM models requiring precise MEP equipment. It pairs effectively with standard rainwater downpipe systems and waterproofing detailing for comprehensive roof assembly coordination.
