The Froet Drain ® -- Froet Industries,
LLC., America's most innovative roof drain manufacturer, presents
the Froet Drain® roof drain, primary and secondary roof drain
in one engineered fixture.
The patented Froet Drain ® is an innovative drain product created
to solve the dual drain requirement for overflow protection. With
both functions designed into one drain it greatly simplifies the
roof drainage design.
Our combination drain is designed in such a way that it can more
efficiently remove rainwater from roofs than standard drains. The
design process started with the goal to design the most advanced
roof drainage system. We have strived to create a product to satisfy
the specific needs and requirements of both the architect and engineers
in one unit.
Our design incorporates the following features:
-
Superior powder coated
finish
-
Patented sump design
-
Corrosion-resistant
fasteners PLUS Preapplied Anti-Seize
on all Drain Ring Bolts
-
Increased clamping
ring surface
-
Taller gravel retention
-
Aesthetically pleasing

The
Froet Flow Sensor is designed to notify the building
maintenance staff whenever there is flow in the overflow drainage
system, typically an indication of either a primary drainage system
blockage or the inability of the primary system to adequately handle
the water load on the roof.
The multiple sensor positions of the in-pipe pickups provide alerts
for both low and high flow conditions. Any registered flow level
remains present until manually cleared, ensuring that the drainage
system is not only monitored around the clock, but that no one needs
to be present to witness the event. The information provided by
the Froet Flow Sensor System alerts the owner to the maintenance
needs of the drainage system, possibly avoiding a catastrophic structural
failure.
The flow sensor pick-up is supplied in a 6 inch long section of
pipe to be installed by either no-hub gaskets, or gluing the PVC
section into a horizontal run of the overflow drainage line. The
sensor cannot be installed closer than 18” to an upstream
elbow. The signal is sent to the control unit via a low voltage
12V signal (wiring not included). Power is supplied to the unit
from a 120 volt to 12 volt plug in transformer, included with the
sensor. There is also an option for a battery back up to power the
unit in case of a power failure. |
