A cover for a drain. The cover may be used with roof drains or other drains and allow for fluid collection into the drain even with buildup of debris around or on the cover. The cover may have a lower flange or skirt portion with a large area and extending outwardly in an arcuate or polygonal configuration and having openings for fluid flow. The lower portion may be oriented at a positive, zero, or negative angle with respect to the horizontal. The lower portion may be wider than a drain body over which the cover is used. An upper portion may be connected to the lower portion and may be more vertically-oriented than the lower portion and having openings.

A roof drain including a base defining a channel and an axis, a gravel guard coupled to the base and including a plurality of teeth, where the gravel guard defines a plurality of gullets between the teeth, and a dome coupled to the base, where the dome includes a plurality of ribs, where the ribs define a plurality of gaps therebetween, and where each gap is radially aligned with a corresponding gullet.

A modular thatch panel for a thatch roof is provided that distinguishes a perforated louvered drainage and drying tray and an insert thatch bale. The tray has louvers at the bottom aspect of the tray and perforations distributed over the tray bottom. The bottom surface of the tray faces a barrier (e.g. water, thermal and/or fire) which overlays a roof panel. The tray and the barrier are at a distance suitable for airflow in between the two layers. The insert thatch bale is compacted, bonded and inserted in the perforated louvered drainage and drying tray.

A floor drain and method of manufacture is described. The drain assembly includes a transverse bar in the throat of the drain base. The bar supports a substantially vertical, elongated connecting member or fastener to the strainer flush with the floor, and acts to transfer any vertical downward forces to the side wall of the drain base. The drain assembly may be milled from a single piece of metal and include an integral no hub for greater structural integrity.

A cover for water flow inlet for rainwater drainage of roof and buildings is disclosed. The inlet cover comprises an outer formation forming a plurality of ridged fins to avoid the vortex formation of rainwater entrainment and to protect the cover from debris materials and a central plate member. The central plate member has a profiled lower surface. The plate member is of an inverted shape with a plurality of ridged formation or channels on the lower surface to further eliminate formation of air inducing and vortices, therefore promoting high volume laminar flow of water in the inlet pipe of the drainage system.

The present invention is a roof drain assembly that comprises a dome mounted to a drain body by shock arrestors and a roof clamp that is securable to the drain body. A screen is positioned around the inlet and between the drain body and the dome. The shock arrestors and screen permit the dome to compress against the drain body while simultaneously absorbing the energy from an impact. As the shock arrestors compress, the screen also compresses. The resiliency of the screen and the shock arrestors permit the dome assembly to return to its passive state once the compression force is removed.

The present disclosure provides a sump drain apparatus comprising a drain inlet and a ramp coupled to the drain inlet comprising an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain bowl, wherein at least a portion of the ramp is configured to be positioned on top of a roof deck.
