ASME A112.6.3:2016 pdf free download Floor and Trench Drains
This Standard covers floor, area, adjustable floor, andtrench drains that are used inside of,or outside andimmediately adjacent to, building structures. ThisStandard specifies design requirements,definitions,nomenclature,outlet types and connections, grate-freeareas, top-loading classifications, materials, and fin-ishes. Seam-welded,socket-type,stainless steel fabri-cated drains are covered in ASME A112.3.1.
1.2 Alternatives
The requirements of this Standard are not intendedto prevent the use of alternative designs, materials, ormethods of construction, provided such alternativesmeet the intent and requirements of this Standard.
1.3 Units of Measurement
The values stated in either Sl (metric) or U.S. Custom-ary (yard / pound) units of measure are equivalent inapplication; however, each system is to be used indepen-dently of the other. In this Standard, U.S. Customaryunits are shown in parentheses.Combining values fromthe two systems can result in nonconformance with theStandard.
1.4lllustrations
The illustrations included in this Standard areintended only to describe and portray typical drainsand are not intended to restrict design or to specifyrequirements.

1.6 Definitions
area,grate-free: total area of the drainage openings inthe grate.
area,open: see area, grate-free.
blowwhole: a hole in casting due to air or gas in the metalor mold.
cold shut: casting defects formed when two streams ofmetal become so cold that they do not fuse upon meet-ing, creating an incomplete casting.
drain, adjustable floor: a floor drain designed for use infinished floor areas with an adjustable strainer and grateand a seepage flange on the body.
drain,area: a receptor intended to receive and conveyrunoff water or other liquid from the areas immediatelyadjacent to the building structure to the drainage system(see Fig.1).
drain, floor: a receptor intended to receive and conveyrunoff water or other liquid from building floors to thedrainage system (see Figs. 2 and 3).
drain, trench: a long, narrow receptor intended to receiveand convey runoff water or other liquids to the drainagesystem (see Fig. 4).
fin: projection on castings due to imperfect joints.
heel-resistant grate: a grate designed to resist entry ofhigh-heeled shoes.
weep hole: a perforation (opening) above the seepage(flashing) flange intended to receive leakage fromaround the drain and direct it into the sump.
