OATEY 78024 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Oatey 78024 roof drain connect to?
The Oatey 78024 roof drain has a 4 inch PVC outlet, so it mates to 4 inch PVC drain pipe with a solvent weld connection. If the leader you are tying into is cast iron or ABS, you need a transition coupling or a different drain body; the 78024 body itself is PVC only.
2) Does the Oatey 78024 come with the dome strainer or do I order that separately?
The cast iron dome ships with the drain. The 78024 is sold as a complete 4 inch PVC roof drain with the cast iron grate over it, so there is no separate strainer line item to add to the order.
3) Why a cast iron dome instead of a plastic one on a roof drain?
Cast iron takes foot traffic and impact from roof service crews, hail, and falling debris far better than a molded plastic strainer, and it will not get brittle from long UV exposure. On the Oatey 78024 the drain body is PVC while only the dome is cast iron, so you get the chemical resistance and easy solvent weld of plastic at the pipe with a metal strainer where the abuse happens.
4) Can I use the Oatey 78024 as a floor drain or area drain instead of on a roof?
It is built as a roof drain, with a raised cast iron dome strainer meant to shed leaves and debris on a flat roof deck while keeping the inlet clear. That dome sits proud of the surface, so it is not what you want in a floor where people walk or carts roll. For an interior floor you want a flat-grate floor drain with a 4 inch PVC outlet instead.
5) How heavy is the Oatey 4 inch PVC roof drain for hoisting up to the roof?
It weighs 10.55 pounds complete with the cast iron dome, which is a one-hand carry up a ladder. Most of that weight is the grate, not the PVC body.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for the Oatey PVC roof drain with the cast iron dome?
Order it as Oatey 78024. That is the 4 inch PVC body with the cast iron dome strainer, and it is the number to quote to match existing drains already on a building.
