Abstract: The roof scupper overflow with sensor cooperatively engages and replaces a conventional roof opening through a wall or in a corner to prevent trash from reaching and clogging the conventional roof basket and drain. Accumulating trash builds up on the screen of the roof scupper overflow causing a foam float or buoy connected to a trash tray to rise permitting water to run under the trash trap at roof level. The trash tray is retained to a base with magnets. When the water reaches a predetermined level, the foam buoy rises pulling the trash tray away from the base allowing water to flow to the conventional roof drain basket and activating a magnet switch sending a signal to overflow sensor and a control module connected to WIFI service.

A second layer can be or include a foil lining and a third layer can be or include an intumescent material. The elongate body, such as the first layer, defines an air gap. The foil lining and/or the intumescent material can be positioned within the air gap. A planar lower portion of the first layer of the elongate body is positioned between a header track and a wallboard in the fire-rated joint. A non-planar upper portion of the first layer of the elongate body is positioned at least partially within a deflection gap of the wall assembly and sealingly engages the ceiling.

Abstract: [Problem to be Solved ] To attain an incombustible sound absorption panel by providing incombustibility to a sound absorption/insulation sandwich panel containing a combustible material as a constituting material. [Solution to Problem] Fine powder of chips generated during cutting of a foam material to fill in a honeycomb material is located in a gap between the foam material and a sound absorption surface material. A gap between fibers of the sound absorption surface material is blocked by the chips having been moved by a flow such as a water vapor flow generated from hydrate of the honeycomb material heated on the occurrence of a fire. As a result, an air flow path is limited. Further, carbon dioxide gas generated from the foam material is trapped to reduce an oxygen amount, thereby inhibiting combustion. Usage of an adhesive as a combustible material is reduced.
