• Prior to March 2007, there were no comprehensive product and design standards for siphonic drainage.
• As such siphonic drainage was promoted by suppliers in different formats with various slants aimed at their own offerings
• The HydroMax focus is on offering high quality, sustainable products with highly accurate and user friendly design software
• Our approach is to dispel the “smoke and mirrors” educate how they work in accordance with the current British and/or American Standards
• Technical Support to Design Engineers and Registered Installers
Introduction to Siphonic Drainage

Siphonic Drainage – Brief History
• Concept invented in Finland by Olavi Ebling in late 1960’s
• First major installation in Sweden in 1972.
• Unregulated Industry Grew through 1980’s
• UK Government Commissioned Research during the 1990’s(Refer HR Wallingford SR 463 & SR 473)
• European Standard BS EN 12056-3 introduced in 2000(1st Standard to include a section for Siphonic drains)
• 2005 – ASME A112.6.9 Siphonic Drain Test issued in USA
• 2006 – Singapore Standard SS 525 includes siphonic drainage
• 2007 – Comprehensive Siphonic Drainage Standards
published in UK and USA (BS 8490 and APSE 45)
What is HydroMax™Siphonic Roof Drainage?
HydroMax™ is an innovative solution which utilises the power of a natural siphon to create
a high-performance roof drainage solution.
HydroMax™ is an Engineered Solution which provides many Technical Benefits
HydroMax™ offers cost savingsnormally ranging from
25% to 45%!
Why use HydroMax™ Siphonic Roof Drainage?

What is wrong with Traditional Gravity Drainage Systems?
Traditional Gravity drainage systems work
but they are inefficient and have a number
of factors restricting performance.
8
Restrictive Factors of Gravity Drainage
1. The water flow-rate is dictated by the gradient available (this gradient also restricts the distance a pipe can travel).
2. Multiple rainwater pipes in locations largely dictated by the gravity hydraulics rather than design team choice.
3. Gravity drains require ⅔ air to transport ⅓ water.
4. Vortex formation within vertical gravity pipes results in the water being transported in an inefficient spiral motion rather than straight through the pipe.
5. The driving force is only the depth of ponding or ‘head’ of water above the roof drain.
Gravity 10” Drain – Depth = 7.3” to Discharge 1500 GPM
“High Performance” Gravity Drain (from Manufacturers web-site)
(250mm Drain – Depth = 185mm to Discharge 95 l/s)

Why is HydroMax™ different from gravity drainage?
Pipes run 100% full bore

Principles of HydroMax™ Siphonic Drainage
• The Siphonic Roof Drain eliminates air entering the pipe promoting water filled pipework
• The full bore of the pipe work carries the rainwater
• Water, without air, accelerates down the vertical downpipe, creating negative pressure and naturally generating a high performance siphonic flow
• The full height of the building provides the energy for this highly efficient Rainwater Drainage Solution
Siphonic Drainage - How it works
PAtmos

The inducer on the roof drain prevents air ingress
and so
Rainwater falling down the vertical pipe accelerates, creating negative pressure

HydroMax System Termination
Siphonic pipework should enter manhole chamber above the drain invert and be clear of any standing water to ensure free discharge
Manhole or Catch Pit to have Grate CoverNote: British Standard BS 8490 states the size of
free area for the Grate should be twice cross sectional area of siphonic pipe. American ASPE
Technical Design Standard 45 does not dictate the size of vented area.

Offset (if required) to line up with below grade pipe
Important:Below Grade Drain must be vented and sized to take the volume of discharge under
Gravity flow conditions.
Do not size to match siphonic Pipe diameter.

Important:
If siphonic drainage is utilised to drain part way down a high rise building –
A siphon break point must be adequately vented to atmosphere at the point of transition to gravity flow.
