Abstract: One embodiment of a recessed roof drain support (recession plate) is to be mounted under structural roof sheathing at the location of a roof deck penetration for a roof drain body. The roof drain body mounting flange, when mounted to the recession plate, will be below the surface of the roof sheathing, creating a recess for a roofing membrane to flow smoothly into the clamping surface of the roof drain body, leaving no opportunity for water to stand.
