Conductor heads enhance the beauty and architectural style on a building. They are traditionally installed under the soffit to let air into the line which then prevents excess noise (gurgling) and helps stop vacuum lock.

Conductor heads can be placed under a valley area to drain collected water to the next level or to a ground drain. Conductor heads can be used to drain small gutters into one large common drain in an attractive manner (which allows an owner to not clutter a wall with numerous drains!

The most common installation for a conductor head would be the roof drain which runs through the wall scupper where water is dumping into a conductor head.

The overflow is in a similar location, or the conductor head can be mounted low, and the drain can be tall, for overflow if the system backs up.
