Outdoor patio drains, sediment traps, and Zurn floor drains...
Got a little concrete patio paving project cooking that calls for 5 surface drains.
I want some nice looking, good quality round drains. Zurn has a FD2210 "Floor Drain" model but the tear sheet doesn't specify outdoor use. It's nickel and PVC. Any of you use these?

Zurn also lists "Deck Drains," but they're huge, the price is out of hand and their build quality looks overkill.
I've found exactly zero references online or in my plumbing books regarding traps under outdoor patio drains. Of course this is draining into a storm water system, not the sanitary sewer, but I'm concerned about trapping sludge and small rocks under each drain and keeping it there, rather than letting it into the system and forming a clog further down the system.
Any good reference websites or words of advice on the proper way to arrange this?
