<br />permitted to become stagnant, contaminated,
<br />or polluted.
<br />(b) Drained to other than storm sewer.
<br />Where in the opinion of the Building Official
<br />no sewer is available, the storm drainage,
<br />from sources described in subsection (a) of
<br />this Section, shall be piped to discharge into
<br />the street gutter, or into a receptacle, or con-
<br />ducted to other point of disposal as approved
<br />by the Building Official.

<br />uses.

<br />fittings exposed within a building where un-
<br />der continuous observation need not be gal-
<br />vanized or cement lined.
<br />1593.68 Size of leaders and storm drains.
<br />The minimum size of building storm
<br />drains, of building storm sewers or vertical
<br />leaders shall be based upon the maximum
<br />horizontal projected roof area served by
<br />such storm pipe or leader as given in Table
<br />93E.

<br />~ When the upper end of the leader is
<br />,flared or bell-mouthed to approximately
<br />twice its diameter or more, the above column
<br />for maximum horizontal projected roof
<br />areas for various size leaders may be in-
<br />creased up to 30% as determined by the
<br />Building Official. The equivalent diameter
<br />of a square or rectangular leader may be
<br />taken as the diameter of the largest circle
<br />that may be inscribed within the cross-
<br />section of the leader.
<br />1593.69 Equivalent of continuous flow into
<br />storm drains and sewers.
<br />Where there is a continuous or semi-con-
<br />tinuous discharge into the building storm
<br />drain or building storm sewer as from a
<br />pump, ejector, air-conditioning plant, or
<br />similar device, then each gallon per minute
<br />of such discharge shall be assumed to be
<br />equivalent to 24 square feet of roof area.
<br />1593.70 Capacities of roof gutters.
<br />The capacity of a roof gutter of rectangular
<br />or other shape may be assumed as equal to
<br />that of a semicircular gutter equal in radius
<br />to that of the largest semicircle that can be
<br />inscribed wholly within that cross section.
<br />Table 93F lists the maximum horizontal pro-
<br />jected roof areas for various sizes of semi-
<br />circular gutters at different slopes.
