EPDM ROOFING:  SCUPPER DRAINS

Scupper drains provide a means for water to flow off roofs surrounded by parapet walls. We offer thre superior quality cast-aluminum scupper drains with spigot ends that can be coupled to 2”, 3”, or 4” pipe. They can be installed in two positions: either with the outlet pipe passing through the parapet wall or with the outlet pipe passing through the roof deck. The center of a scupper drain should not be closer than 12” from a corner.
