Abstract

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.

Claims (29)

1. A sump drain apparatus, comprising:

a drain inlet comprising at least one of an inlet conduit and a drain bowl;

a ramp coupled to the drain inlet, wherein the ramp comprises an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain inlet; and

an insulation receiving surface coupled to and extending downward from the ramp, wherein the ramp and the insulation receiving surface are configured to at least partially enclose sump insulation beneath the ramp and above a roof deck.

2. The sump drain apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising sump insulation below the ramp, wherein the sump insulation is configured to be positioned above the roof deck.

3. The sump drain apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the sump insulation comprises at least one of a polyisocyanurate material, a polystyrene material, a polyurethane material, or a mineral wool material.

4. The sump drain apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the drain inlet, the ramp, and the insulation receiving surface comprise a single, continuous structure.

5. The sump drain apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ramp spans between a ramp lower point and a ramp upper point, wherein the ramp lower point is configured to be positioned above the roof deck.

6. The sump drain apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the drain inlet is configured to be disposed within the roof deck.

7. The sump drain apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the ramp is coupled to the drain inlet by a first land coupled to and spanning between the drain inlet and the ramp.

8. A sump drain apparatus, comprising:

a drain inlet comprising at least one of an inlet conduit and a drain bowl; and

a ramp coupled to the drain inlet, wherein the ramp comprises an incline plane configured to divert drainage water toward the drain inlet,

wherein the ramp is coupled to the drain inlet by a first land coupled to and spanning between the ramp and the drain inlet, wherein the first land comprises an upper surface and a lower surface, and wherein the lower surface is configured to rest on a roof deck.

9. The sump drain apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the drain inlet, the ramp, and the first land comprise a single, continuous structure.

10. The sump drain apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising sump insulation below the ramp, wherein the sump insulation is configured to be positioned above the roof deck.

11. The sump drain apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the sump insulation comprises at least one of a polyisocyanurate material, a polystyrene material, a polyurethane material, or a mineral wool material.

12. The sump drain apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the ramp spans between a ramp lower point and a ramp upper point, wherein the ramp lower point is configured to be positioned above the roof deck.

13. The sump drain apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the drain inlet is configured to be disposed within the roof deck.

14. A sump drain apparatus, comprising:

a drain inlet comprising at least one of an inlet conduit and a drain bowl, wherein the drain inlet is configured to be disposed within a roof deck; and

a ramp coupled to the drain inlet, wherein the ramp comprises an incline plane that is configured to divert drainage water toward the drain inlet,

wherein at least a portion of the ramp is configured to be disposed above the roof deck.

15. The sump drain apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the ramp spans between a ramp lower point and a ramp upper point, wherein the ramp lower point is configured to be positioned above the roof deck, which is a wooden roof deck.

16. The sump drain apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising sump insulation below the ramp lower point.

17. The sump drain apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the ramp is coupled to the drain inlet by a first land coupled to and spanning between the drain inlet and the ramp.

18. The sump drain apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising sump insulation below the ramp, wherein the sump insulation is configured to be positioned above the roof deck.

19. The sump drain apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the sump insulation comprises at least one of a polyisocyanurate material, a polystyrene material, a polyurethane material, or a mineral wool material.

20. The sump drain apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the drain inlet and the ramp comprise a single, continuous structure.
