ABSTRACT:
A siphon head for siphoning smooth or rough textured roof surfaces which is preferably comprised of a soft pliable elastomeric material such as rubber. The head includes a relatively flat foot flange adapted to rest flatwise on a roof to be drained. The flange is of an annular shape. A dome shaped head portion is centrally located and integrally formed with the relatively flat foot flange. The relatively flat foot flange extends outwardly in a relatively flat plane beyond the head portion and surrounds the head portion in all directions. The head portion is closed on its top side and has an interior cavity. An opening is located on an underside of the head portion in communication with the cavity for receiving fluids to be siphoned. A discharge nozzle is positioned in fluid receiving communication with the interior cavity and extends radially away from the head portion atop the foot flange. The discharge nozzle is integrally formed with the head portion and the foot flange and is in supported assembly therewith. The siphon head is used in combination with a roof draining system for flat roofs.
