    DEFINITION

    STORM DRAIN
    STORM DRAIN IS A UNIT OF THE

    PLUMBING SYSTEM.

    IT CONVEYS RAIN OR STORMWATER

    TO A SUITABLE TERMINAL.

    STORMWATER IS NORMALLY

    DISCHARGED INTO STREET GUTTERS.


    NOTE:
    STORM DRAIN IS NOT PERMITTED TO
    GENERAL DISCHARGE INTO A SEPTIC TANK OR TO
    RULE THE MAIN SEWER LINE
    SPLASH PAN
    a collector of water coming down from the
    downspout leading the accumulated water away
    from the house at a relatively low rate of flow.
    CLASSIFICATION OF
    STORM DRAIN

    INSIDE STORM OUTSIDE STORM OVERHEAD


    DRAIN DRAIN STORM DRAIN
    INSIDE STORM DRAIN
    SOMETIMES LOCATED UNDER THE BASEMENT
    FLOOR OR WITHIN THE WALLS OF THE BUILDING.
    OUTSIDE STORM DRAIN
    INSTALLED OUTSIDE THE FOUNDATION WALL OF THE
    BUILDING. POSSIBLE ON LOCATION WHERE THE LOT IS
    NOT TOTALLY OCCUPIED BY THE BUILDING.
    OVERHEAD STORM DRAIN

    ADOPTED WHEN THE STREET DRAINAGE


    IS HIGHER IN ELEVATION THAN THE
    BASEMENT FLOOR OF THE BUILDING.

    THE PURPOSE IS TO AVAIL OF THE


    GRAVITY FLOW OF WATER. THE PIPE IS
    WELL FITTED AND SUSPENDED INSIDE
    THE CEILING BY SUITABLE HANGERS
    SPACED AT CLOSER INTERVALS.
    SIZE OF STORM DRAIN
    The size of Storm Drain is determined
    under the following considerations:

    1.) Gauging the rainfall over a given period,


    whether it is constant or exceedingly
    heavy shower of short duration

    2.) Consider the varying roof areas, the


    slope, and the distance of water traveled
    before it reaches the conductors of the
    roof.
    3.) Water drain faster on high pitch roof.
    Hence, requires a larger drainage pipe than
    that of a flat roof.

    4.) The height of the building, contribute


    largely to the velocity of water falling inside
    a vertical pipe con-ductor. The velocity fall
    accelerate the flow of water entering into
    the storm drain.

    5.) The use of improper fittings and short


    offsets that will affect the flow of water must
    be avoided.
    GRADE AND CHANGE OF
    DIRECTION
    THE STORM DRAIN IS INSTALLED PROVIDING A SLOPE OF
    NOT MORE THAN 2% PER METER RUN. A COMBINATION
    OF Y AND 1/8 BEND OR A LONG RADIUS FITTING IS
    APPROPRIATE FOR ANY CHANGE IN DIRECTION.
    ROOF LEADER
    KNOWN AS WATER CONDUCTOR OR DOWNSPOUT
    EITHER CONCEALED OR EXPOSED TYPE. IT CONNECTS
    THE ROOF TERMINAL TO THE STORM DRAIN.
