The roof drain should always be set onto the base of the roof structure unless otherwise specified by a roofing materials manufacture or project engineer. After the drain is secured into place using the Underdeck Clamp Kit, the roof would then be flashed (waterproofed). The insulation, other roofing materials and finishes are set into place according to the roofing materials manufacturer or the project engineer. 
Oatey offers a #47700 Underdeck Clamp Kit that is recommended for every roof drain installation. This clamp is placed below the roof and attached to the drain body with 4 pieces of threaded rod, and 4 nuts. Once installed the clamp will secure the drain body in place so that the waterproofing seal is less likely to be compromised.
