How to Install a Scupper | Torch Down Roofing Guide

Like roof drains, scuppers help drain water out from the side walls of a flat roof. In this video I’ll show you how to properly install a roof scupper to make sure it’s solid and keeps your roof waterproofed for years to come. **Please note that torch down roofing is dangerous and should be installed by a licensed professional. Using an open flame can pose a fire risk and therefore must be handled carefully. Make sure to wear fire resistant gloves when installing torch down roofing. Keep all flammable scrap and debris at least 10 feet away from the building. A fire extinguisher is needed within 50 feet of anywhere where more than 5 gallons of flammable or combustible liquids or 5 pounds of flammable gas are being used on the job site. No one on a job site can be more than 100 feet away from a fire extinguisher at all times. There must be at least one fire extinguisher for 3,000 square feet of work area.
