Scuppers At Metal Roofs

No more drain clogging.

Scuppers at metal roofs.

The minimum recommended weight for the construction of scuppers is 16 oz. Unlike most industry standard roof canales made of wood and sheet metal which deteriorate rapidly in a few short years our fiberspan concrete canales roof scuppers endure the most extreme of weather conditions for many years. Channel type scuppers are also typically lined with metal but the metal is integrated with the coping or other edge metal. Scuppers are drain openings placed through walls that drain heavy water and debris away from commercial flat roofs.

Scuppers are fabricated with flanges on the roof side which extend 4 onto the roof. Prefabricated pitch pans deliver a watertight seal around rooftop protrusions while scuppers provide solutions for drainage challenges. We offer standard sizes fabricated with 24 gauge galvanized metal and 60 mil tpo or pvc. The scupper box is integrated with the roof system flashed or stripped in on the interior side of the wall and usually terminates on the outside of the wall with a faceplate with sealant around it.

These metal accessories come with membrane welded to them reducing installation time and providing a clean aesthetically pleasing finish. Scuppers and collector boxes metal era has the manufacturing capabilities to produce custom designed scuppers and collector boxes that meet the performance requirements of architects and contractors. Our quality control and weld guarantee ensures that our scuppers will do the job and be watertight. Draining water off a roof has to be away from walkways and entrances.

In short a scupper is a detail that provides drainage to a roof system by allowing the water runoff from the roof to exit the roof through a metal edge parapet wall or through the deck into a downspout or leader not run through the interior of the building. A roof scupper is a roof drainage system that provides drainage of a flat roof by allowing the water runoff from the roof to exit the roof through a metal edge parapet wall or through the deck into a downspout or leader. A canale roof scupper is a spout drain installed in the parapet of a flat roof building to drain rainwater. Installing a scupper that leads out into a drain installing a scupper on an epdm flat roof watch the video below.

Our thru wall scuppers are ready to install and ideal for draining water from commercial low slope roofs where the roof meets the parapet wall. Scuppers should be spaced no greater than 10 feet apart depending on the roof area drained. Wood blocking is required under scuppers to provide a nailable surface. Instead of a drain we decided to install a roof scuppers on each side of the roof.
