MIFAB Siphonix® Drains
MIFAB has taken the leadership role in providing superior siphonic solutions specifically engineered for the US construction industry.
The Siphonic principle has been understood for thousands of years based on mathematical calculations that were documented in the 16th century. These roof drainage techniques have been practiced worldwide for over three decades and provide a superior solution to conventional gravity based systems.
MIFAB’s unique solution combines our familiar roof drain components with the MIFAB Siphonix air baffle. The baffle prevents the entry of air into the system to provide a superior means of removing roof rainwater from buildings with low slope roofs, large or small. Proper calculations provide optimum efficiency.
All calculations are configured and optimized by supplying engineers with the easiest, fastest and best system design software available.
