# FM TB Scupper sequencing

Technical Bulle�n: Installa�on S equence of Balcony Scuppers 
Dear Valued Customer, 
At Formulated Materials, we recognize that parapet wall scuppers serve as a 
pivotal solu�on in draining surface water from elevated concrete surfaces . The 
sequencing of these scuppers within the waterproofing system significantly
determines the system's overall efficiency and success. 
To achieve op�mal results, it's essen�al to integrate components like scuppers,
base flashing, door pans, and other related metal parts at the beginning of the
waterproofing process. Proper sequencing ensures a shingling process, which in 
turn mi�gates the risk of water pooling on surfaces. This strategic overlap and
integra�on of components are essen�al to eliminate water dwell, subsequently 
improving the efficiency and longevity of the waterproofing system. 
Furthermore, from a design perspec�ve, scuppers should ideally possess an
expansive flange, ensuring they provide a considerable surface area. This design
facilitates a robust bond with the primary waterproofing and sealant materials, 
which are crucial for system func�on . 
Adherence to precise sequencing and op�mal flange design is a non - nego�able
criterion for securing the Formulated Materials 10 - year waterproof warranty.

Morgan Lively
