    the proper way in installing a cast iron drain is using a lead and gum forming it into the cast iron drain then priming that lead and torching your base and cap. not no self adhred membrane. using quick prime isnt a glue so in that aspect that drain will fail and leak in no time.

    i really hate these drains, if you look at the final result, the lip of the drain is raised SO MUCH off the floor, even with the slits cut into the side of it, there is essentially ALWAYS standing water around them

      Ya I agree, not sure why they design it that way. I prefer going retrofit drains, something like a thunderbird.

    Wouldn't it be better to inset the drain into the plywood?

      Ideally yes. Most of the time its not the roofer installing the drains, its a plumber. So we usually have to deal with what they give us.

    Don’t you have to install lead in the drain

      That is a great question. Honestly I’ve seen specs on it, I have never tried it but I think it will make for a better system. I need to look into that

    Don’t you want the drain to be the lowest point of the roof ?

      No, we actually don’t run into that often/ ever, I know it’s a Canada thing. Is that where you’re from?
