Introduction to Storm
Drainage Water System
WHAT IS STORM
DRAINAGE SYSTEM?
It's a network of structures, channels and underground pipes that
carry stormwater (rain water) to ponds, lakes, streams and
rivers. The network consists of both public and private systems.
Introduction to Storm
Drainage Water System
WHAT IS STORM
DRAINAGE SYSTEM?
It's an integral part of the stormwater management system in the county
that is designed to control the quantity, quality, timing and distribution
of storm runoff. All stormwater in the county eventually flows to the
Occoquan and Potomac rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

It's not part of the wastewater (sanitary sewer) system, which carries
water and waste from drains (sinks, bathtubs, showers, etc.) and toilets
to a treatment plant to be treated and filtered. Stormwater does not flow
to a treatment plant.
 Section 1101: General
Storm drainage are required for roof areas, courts and courtyards to collect stotmwater and discharge
the stormwater to an approved point of disposal not in conflict with other ordinances or regulations.
WHAT IS RAINWATER SYSTEM?

Harvested rainwater can provide a source of alternative water to federal facilities.

Alternative waters are sustainable sources of water, not supplied from fresh
surface water or groundwater, that offset the demand for freshwater. Rainwater
harvesting captures, diverts, and stores rainwater from rooftops for later use.
Typical uses of rainwater include landscape irrigation, wash applications,
ornamental pond and fountain filling, cooling tower make-up water, and toilet and
urinal flushing. With additional filtration and disinfection, harvested rainwater can
also be treated to potable standards to supplement municipal potable water
supplies to facilities.

WHAT IS ROOF DRAIN?
In plumbing, a pipe installed to drain water from the roof
gutters or roof catchment to the storm drain or other
means of disposal. Also called a conductor, downspout, or
roof drain.

WHY ROOF DRAIN IS

IMPORTANT?
A roof drainage system is a crucial component of any
house's structure. It is responsible for directing water
away from the roof and into the gutter system,
keeping the house dry and protected from water
damage.
SECTION 1103: addition, they must always be able to withstand

1103. 1
MATERIALS
Roof drains shall be cast iron, copper, and other corrosion resistance
materials.
All materials used for the production of drain technology must either
be inherently corrosion-resistant or have corrosion protection applied
to it.
Highly resistant to corrosion makes it durable choice for roof
drainage systems. It can withstand exposure to various weather
conditions, such as rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations, without
rusting or deteriorating.

alloy, cast iron. Also known as Gray Iron.

Cast iron (CI) pipes were widely used for the transportation of water
and sewage because they are less expensive, corrosion resistant, and
long lasting before plastic pipes were invented. They are one of the
oldest piping systems present today and are now being replaced by
high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes and polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) pipes.
 Cast iron pipes offer several benefits, including
strength, durability, affordability, and resistance to
temperature fluctuations. However, these pipes
may only be suitable for some applications due to
their weight and susceptibility to corrosion over
time.
HDPE is an acronym for High Density
Polyethylene. High Density Polyethylene is a
polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum.
HDPE is commonly recycled and made into
composite wood or plastic lumber.
PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, and it's become
a common replacement for metal piping. PVC's
strength, durability, easy installation, and low cost
have made it one of the most widely used plastics
in the world
 What is a water stop ring?
a rubber ring which is compressed around the
pipe circumference using stainless steel clamps,
preventing infiltration and exfiltration between
the HDPE Waterstop and the pipe. It is then
either grouted into an existing structure, or has
a new structure poured around it.
 1103.1.1.4 In all cases the outlet connections are
inside-caulk or female screwed.
TYPES OF DRAIN
OUTLETS
HUB OUTLET (OUTSIDE CAULK
OUTLET): A drain connection, usually on side
outlet drains, where plain end of drain pipe is
inserted and a seal is made either by caulking or
by using a compression gasket. This type of
outlet is the opposite of the inside caulk outlet.
SPIGOT OUTLET (NO HUB
OUTLET): Male, pipe size, plain
end connection for caulking into a
soil pipe hub or joining to plain end
pipe with a mechanical coupling.
INSIDE CAULK OUTLET: Open bottom type drain
connection which is placed over plain end of drain
pipe. The seal is then made by caulking or with a
compression gasket. This type of outlet is the opposite
of the hub outlet.

THREADED OUTLET (TAPPED
OUTLET): Internally threaded drain
connection for joining drain to a threaded
pipe drain line with American Standard &
Taper pipe threads (NPT).
PUSH-ON OUTLET: "Push-on" is a unique
labor saving compression gasketed connection
designed to simply push on the stub end of the
pipe. The Push-on drain body and gasket can be
utilized with plastic, steel, No-Hub and service
weight soil pipe. A unique pipe stop cast in each
drain body ensures that water will not
accumulate around the connecting pipe.
 A fitting or adapter used in pipe systems for connecting straight sections of pipe or
tube, adapted to various shapes or sizes, and for other purposes such as regulating
fluid flow. The terms male and female always refer to the threads on the fitting. The
male threads are on the outside like a bolt. The female threads (female fittings) are on
the inside like a nut. Male threads screw into female threads.
TYPES OF ROOF
DRAINS
 1. Conventional Gutters
The typical pitched roof can usually use gravity for all drainage purposes. On a
pitched roof, water simply glides off and into gutters, which direct water into an
underground drainage system. This roof drain option is simple, inexpensive, keeps
water from pouring all over the place and provides sufficient protection for doors
and windows. In addition, it helps avoid water pooling around the property’s
foundation.
 2. Scuppers
Scuppers are popular for flat enclosed roofs, terraces and parapets. This type of roof drain consists of small
holes cut in the side of the roof so that the water can drain out. Metal or rubber is typically used to flash the
area around the hole so that water doesn’t cause damage. After exiting the hole, scuppers typically connect to a
downspout to direct the water to an underground drainage system. In other instances, the scuppers protrude
from the building and allow the water to fall into a prepared space such as a gravel drainage area
 3. Inner/Interior Drain
Also a popular option for flat roofs, an inner drain is a drain or drains in a slightly
lower area of the roof that connects to an interior pipe that leads to an underground
drainage system. These drains typically have screens or protective barriers to
prevent debris from washing down the pipe. Among the advantages of these drains
is that there are no unsightly downspouts and gutters seen from the outside of the
building and that there’s little chance that pipes will freeze.
 4. Siphonic Drain
This sophisticated drain is designed to operate at full capacity, reducing the need
for downspouts and underground drainage pipes. The system essentially sucks
water from the roof into the system and keeps air from being drawn in, meaning
that the pipes can handle more. These systems work on flat and pitched roofs.
SECTION 1104:
SIZING OF RAINWATER PIPING
1104.1 Vertical rainwater piping shall be sized with accordance to Table
11-1 which is based upon maximum depth in mm of rainfall per hour
falling upon a given roof are per square meter.

Normally, a 102 mm/hour rainfall intensity is used in MANILA

AREA.
Take Note;
Round, Square or Rectangle
rainwater pipe may be used
and are considered equivalent
when enclosing an inscribed
circle equivalent to the dreain
leader diameter.
 1104.2 Vertical Wall Areas
Where Vertical walls project above a roof so as to permit storm water to drain to adjacent roof are below, the total roof area considered may be
computed from Table 11-2 as follows;

1104.2 For one (1) wall - add fifty (50) percent of area of the wall to the roof area.

1104.2.1 For two (2) adjacent walls - add thirty five 35) percent of the total wall areas to the roof area;

1104.2.2 Two (2) walls opposite each other and of the same heights 0 add no additional area to the roof area;

1104.2.3 Two (2) walls opposite each other and of the same heights - add NO additional area to the roof area;

1104.2.4 Two (2) walls opposite of differing heights - add fifty (50) percent of wall area above top of lower wall to the roof area.

1104.2.5 Walls on three (3) sides - add fifty (50) percent of area of the inner wall below the top of the lowest wall, pluss allowance for area of the wall

above top of the lowest wall per Section 1104.2.2 and 1104.2.4

1104.2.6 Walls of four (4) sides - no allowance of wall areas below top of lowest wall - add for areas above top lowest wall per 1104.2.1, 1104.2.2,

1104.2.4, and 1104.2.5.

1104.2.7 The area of the side of a tall building exposed to rain is taken as one-half of the gross area.
 1104.3 Horizontal Rainwater Piping
The size of a building rainwater piping of an of its horizontal branches shall be sized in accordance with Table 11-2 (based
upon maximum roof areas to be drained)

Example:
Table 11-2
Roof Area = 548.1 m²
Max Rainfall/hr. = 127 mm
Pipe Laid at (20.9 mm/m) slope or s = .02

Find area in column under 127 mm and at slope of .02 and read 561.1
m² (at closest). Choose 152 mm as size of leader and downspout at
leftmost column.
1104.4 Roof Gutter 1104.5
The size of semi-circular bottom roof gutters shall be used If the rainfall is more or less than those shown in Table 11-2
based on the maximum roof area, in accordance with Table and 11-3, then Adjust the figures in the 50.8 mm rainfall by
11-3 multiplying by two (2) and dividing by the maximum rate of
rainfall in mm/hr.
Example:
Table 11-3
Roof Area = 186 m² Example:
Max Rainfall/hr. = 102 mm In Table 11-2 with a 10.4 mm/m or s = .01 and a 203.2
Pipe Laid at 10.4 mm/m slope or s =0.01 mm rainfall, find the number of square meter a 102 mm
pipe diameter will carry.
Find area in column under 103 mm rainfall intensity on
Table 11-3 with s = .01 and read 181.4 m² (as closest) Solution : 2 x 349.3 = 87.4 m²
move to left and read 177.8 mm diameter gutter. 8
Note : Gutter has semi-circular bottom. Depth of equivalent of area of rectangular gutter = 0.392 x diameter.
Table 11-4
Sizing Roof Drains, Leaders, and Vertical Rainwater Piping.

Notes:
• The sizing data for vertical conductors, leaders and drains is based on the pipes flowing 7/24 full.
• For rainfall rates other than those listed, Determine the allowable roof area by diving the area given in the 25 mm/hr column by the desired rainfall rate.
• Vertical piping may be round, square, or rectangular. Square type should be size to enclose its equivalent round pipe. Rectangular pipe shall have at least
the same cross-sectional area as its equivalent round pipe. Except that the ratio of its side dimensions shall not exceed 3-1 .
