The FR510 met the strict requirements dictated by the City of Renton regarding water runoff from the roof. Not containing any metals that could leech into the water table, the FR510 is injection molded from Ultramid glass reinforced polymer and does not rust, corrode or produce any toxic materials that can effect water collected from the roof. The extreme undulations in the roof for water run off, as seen in the photos, was easily managed by the FR510`s ability to follow the contours of the roof.
