The Smith Sump Receiver should be specified on all but poured-in-place roof drain installations. The sump receiver is a square metal plate with recessed center opening to accept the drain body flange. This eliminates the puddle of water surrounding many roof drain installations due to the flange resting on top of a circular hole cut in the roof.

The Smith 1010 Sump Receiver is a crucial component in industrial settings, designed to collect and contain liquid waste from various processes. The circular hole cut in the roof of the receiver serves as an entry point for the liquid waste to enter the sump. This design feature allows for a more efficient and effective drainage system, ensuring that the waste is properly contained and disposed of. By having a designated entry point for the liquid waste, the receiver minimizes the risk of spills and contamination, ultimately promoting a safer and cleaner work environment.

Furthermore, the circular hole cut in the roof of the Smith 1010 Sump Receiver also allows for easy access and maintenance of the system. This design feature enables workers to inspect the sump and perform necessary repairs or maintenance without having to dismantle the entire structure. The accessibility provided by the circular hole enhances the overall functionality and longevity of the receiver, making it a valuable asset in industrial operations. Overall, the Smith 1010 Sump Receiver with its circular hole cut in the roof showcases thoughtful design and engineering that prioritizes efficiency, safety, and ease of maintenance in industrial settings.

A poor installation occurs when a circular hole has been cut in the roof that ends up off center of the leader pipe. The result is usually a crooked or off-set leader. The Smith square sump receiver allows the hole to be cut oversize and square permitting the drain to be shifted and centered over the pipe. The probable result of not using a sump receiver is a drain body that is improperly seated on the deck, causing roofing felts and other roofing materials to create a dam-like effect around the drain, resulting in a puddle in the vicinity of the drain. This problem can always be eliminated with a sump receiver.
