roof drain

Building water outlet

A roof drain is a fixture installed in a flat or low-slope roof to channel rainwater into the building's drainage system.

Unlike gutters that catch water at the edges, roof drains sit within the roof surface itself, typically at low points where water naturally collects: The roof drains were clogged with leaves after the storm.
