Siphonic Roof Drainage
Siphonic roof drainage system is made up of special outlets that incorporate an anti-vortex plate / baffle plate that prevents air entering into the pipes. The absence of air in the system allows it to run 100% full of water making use of the entire pipe section and vastly increasing flows that are 10 times faster when compared to conventional drainage systems. High velocity & downward pull of the water in the vertical downpipe generate the vacuum in horizontal piping, thus the water is sucked or siphoned from the roof making the drainage process fast and efficient. The entire system is designed and installed using siphonic principal by balancing velocities, friction, negative pressure and drain rate.
Difference Between Gravity Drainage & Siphonic Drainage
Gravity / Conventional - Traditional system
- Many down pipes
- Slope in pipe work (at roof or underground)
- Larger pipe diameters
- More groundwork under buildings
- Low flow speed
- Low drainage capacity
- Not self-cleaning
Siphonic - Advance system
- Fewer down pipes
- No slopping pipe work for optimal use of space
- Smaller pipe diameters
- Less groundwork under buildings
- High flow speed
- High drainage capacity
- Self-cleaning

Siphonic Roof Rainwater Drainage System
Torrent Siphonic Roof Drainage System, making Rainwater drainage process faster, reliable & efficient. Our experts have neatly curated well-engineered roof drainage system that create negative pressure in the installed piping by preventing the entry of air through specially designed outlets that leads to a full-bore flow with high velocity.
Torrent Siphonic rainwater outlets are designed and tested to allow rainwater to flow freely into the pipework below, whilst also building the level of rainwater around the outlet to rise and restrict the flow of air into the system. At this point the horizontal pipe work below becomes full (primed), and the falling column of water in the down-pipe below causes suction in the system, drawing the rainwater through at a designed and controlled flow velocity.
As the system empties the water around the outlet drops, allowing air to enter the system breaking the siphonic action, as the rain continues the process starts again and the cycle continues until such time as the rainfall intensity decreases.
System Benefits
Positive performance with Negative pressure
1. Customized Engineered Design Solution
The customized design solutions are offered based on the specific project requirements. It also gives Complete control over downpipe discharge location as compared to traditional drainage system giving higher flexibility in design and planning to architects and consultants.
2. Self-Cleaning High Velocity Drainage
The absence of air in the pipe creates negative pressure that improves the velocity of water passing in pipes resulting in quick and efficient drainage of water from the roofs. The high velocity of water self cleanses the piping network which reduces the maintenance activities
3. Higher Building Space Utilization
Smaller diameter header pipe installed horizontally without Slope frees up the valuable building space resulting into ease in co-ordination with other services & maximizes the use of the building space.
4. Simple Piping Network
Fewer outlets, smaller size pipe, less piping network and downpipes results in simple and quicker installation that saves valuable time for project completion
Why SmartFlow Torrent System?
Cost Effective
The Benefit-to-Cost ratio is much higher than the traditional drainage system due to material saving and reduction in installation times and labor, proving the system as true cost-effective solution for roof drainage.
Resources Saving
Less load on structure, light weight and fewer downpipe require less groundwork that gives extra space for utilization. Overall saves on material requirement for system.
Robust System
HDPE piping along with specially and bracketing system make the installation leakproof guidelines; it ensures higher system and unaffected to the vibrations and performance for years. thermal variations in the installed system.
Assured Performance
The system is designed as per specific project requirements and installed as per precise guidelines; it ensures higher system performance for years.
