Description
The SOPRAFLOW CONTROL is designed to regulate the flow of rainwater on flat roofs equipped with SOPRAFLOW ALU aluminum drains.
UNITS PER SKID: 740
Material Use:
SOPRAFLOW CONTROL is a precision-engineered aluminum flow control device designed to regulate the evacuation of rainwater from low-slope roofs. It is specifically intended for use with SOPRAFLOW ALU aluminum roof drains and is a critical component in managing rooftop water accumulation and drainage flow rates.
System Components:
SOPRAFLOW CONTROL is used in conjunction with the SOPRAFLOW ALU drain system and is secured in place using the SOPRAFLOW CLAMPING RING. The system includes two adjustable lateral drainage grooves and an overflow opening. The flow regulator is available in two height configurations: 108 mm (4-1/4 in) and 140 mm (5-1/2 in), allowing for tailored water flow control based on roof design and drainage requirements.
Applications:
This product is ideal for commercial and industrial low-slope roofing systems where controlled water drainage is essential to prevent overloading of the drainage system and to comply with building code requirements. It is particularly useful in areas with high rainfall or where water retention and controlled release are part of the roof design strategy.
Application Details:
Installation of SOPRAFLOW CONTROL occurs after the waterproofing membrane has been completed. The unit is mounted onto the four threaded rods of the SOPRAFLOW ALU drain and secured using the SOPRAFLOW CLAMPING RING. The installer must determine the maximum allowable water accumulation and select the appropriate flow regulator height. The lateral drainage grooves are adjusted by removing stamped metal sections to achieve the desired flow rate, as detailed in the flow rate tables provided in the technical data sheet.
Special Notes:
- Material Composition: Made of 1.5 mm (1/16 in) thick aluminum, with a blue finish.
- Dimensions: Diameter of 25.4 cm (10 in); available in two heights: 108 mm (4-1/4 in) and 140 mm (5-1/2 in).
- Weight: 0.23 kg (0.5 lb).
- Flow Regulation: The device allows for multiple flow rate settings depending on water height and regulator opening level. For example, the SOPRAFLOW CONTROL 6" can handle up to 1.09 L/s (17.3 GPM) before overflow, and up to 13.31 L/s (210.9 GPM) through the overflow opening.
- Compatibility: Must be used with SOPRAFLOW ALU drains and installed according to the corresponding drain’s technical data sheet.
- Environmental Considerations: As a mechanical component, SOPRAFLOW CONTROL does not have pot life, curing time, or temperature/humidity limitations typical of liquid-applied materials. However, it must be installed after the waterproofing membrane is in place and should not interfere with membrane integrity.
This product is a passive, mechanical component and does not require mixing, curing, or environmental conditioning, making it a reliable and maintenance-free solution for roof drainage control when used as part of the SOPREMA SOPRAFLOW system.
