OATEY O78013 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Oatey 78013 roof drain take 3 inch or 4 inch pipe?
The Oatey 78013 PVC roof drain accepts either 3 inch or 4 inch PVC drain pipe, with a 3 inch base size diameter listed on the spec. The outlet is a PVC solvent-weld connection, so it bonds directly to PVC DWV pipe with standard PVC cement, no gasket or threaded adapter needed.
2) Does the Oatey 78013 roof drain come with the strainer dome, or do I buy that separately?
The plastic dome strainer is included with the 78013. You get the PVC drain body and the dome together, so the only extras on a typical install are the pipe, cement, and whatever flashing or clamping ring the roof assembly calls for.
3) Should I use a PVC roof drain or a cast iron one on a flat commercial roof?
PVC drains like the Oatey 78013 suit residential and light commercial flat or low-slope roofs where the drain leader is already PVC DWV and traffic on the dome is minimal. Cast iron bodies with metal domes are the choice where the drain may be walked on, where a roof is subject to heavy debris or vandalism, or where a project spec calls out metal. Check the drawing first, since many commercial specs name the body material.
4) How heavy is the Oatey 78013 roof drain for getting it up on the roof?
It is light work for one person. The 78013 weighs 5.4 pounds, and the shipping volume is listed at 1.172 cubic feet. An all-PVC drain like this is a fraction of the weight of a cast iron roof drain, which matters when you are hand-carrying units up a ladder on a reroof.
5) What is the Oatey part number and UPC for the 3 inch PVC roof drain with plastic dome?
Order it as Oatey 78013. That is the manufacturer part number, and the UPC is 038753780139. It is a single configuration, so there is no finish or size suffix to specify.
