Shower drain assemblies and their components are disclosed. In examples, a shower drain assembly may include a receptor, a threaded flange, a plate, and a protective cover. The protective cover may protect the plate, the threaded flange, or other components from damage. The protective cover may be installed directly onto the threaded flange or onto the plate when the plate is installed onto the threaded flange. The same protective cover can thus be used to protect shower drain assemblies at different stages of installation—whether or not trim pieces such as the plate have yet been installed.

A concrete form for installing a bath filler includes a base having an exposed top surface, a perimeter wall extending along each side of the base and oriented perpendicular to the base, and a rim extending from a top edge of the perimeter wall outwardly from the exposed top surface. The concrete form includes at least one notch disposed along the rim, such that the at least one notch is configured to align with a desired location of the bath filler. The concrete form includes a drill template corresponding with the notches. The drill template includes a plurality of markers configured to indicate drill-hole placement.

A water use management system may be installed in a setting that contains a primary infrastructure for water use to provide an alternate, modular infrastructure for water use. Fresh water used at various points of use, such as a shower or sink, may be modified by a point of use water conditioner. Water may be modified at the point of use based upon pre-configured routines or manual user selections. Treatments performed on the water may include quality treatments, such as modifying the pH or mineral content, and may also include experience treatments, such as the addition of scents, colors, carbonation, or health and beauty supplements. Additives used during treatment are provided in cartridges that may be inserted and removed from the water conditioner. Cartridges may self-identify when inserted, to aid in compatibility and usability determinations and recycling/recertification processes.

A waste outlet having a top section, with an inlet and an outlet, and a bottom section, with an inlet and an outlet. The top section and the bottom section are both mounted upon a substantially elongate member. A tubular seal element encloses the outlet of the top section and the inlet of the bottom section and one of the top section and the bottom section is connected to the elongate member and the other of the top section and the bottom section is slidably mounted on the rigid elongate member so that it can slide therealong to adjust the distance between the respective sections.

A plastic component for use in a tiled wet environment can include a base structure comprising a first polymer material, and an integrated bonding interface formed on the base structure. The integrated bonding interface includes a second polymer material welded to or fused with the first polymer material of the base structure at a boundary area. A plurality of aggregate particles partially embedded in a mortar facing surface of the second polymer material to form a three-dimensional surface adapted for capturing or locking mortar material in one or more spaces on the integrated bonding interface between the aggregate particles.

A concrete form for installing a bath filler includes a base having an exposed top surface, a perimeter wall extending along each side of the base and oriented perpendicular to the base, and a rim extending from a top edge of the perimeter wall outwardly from the exposed top surface. The concrete form includes at least one notch disposed along the rim, such that the at least one notch is configured to align with a desired location of the bath filler. The concrete form includes a drill template corresponding with the notches. The drill template includes a plurality of markers configured to indicate drill-hole placement.

A shower drain assembly including a trough with a tray element with its bottom provided with a drain hole, a covering element for the trough; and elements for association between a structure of the trough and the covering element, which are adapted to define various possible distances of the covering element from the bottom.

Providing an easy to install shower tray and drain assembly. The tray comprises a stepped upper surface and a receptor having at least one step for receiving the drain assembly. In certain embodiments, the drain assembly comprises a cup for securing the drain assembly to the receptor and to a drainage pipe, a clamping flange for securing a waterproof floor covering between itself and the cup, at least one seal for providing a watertight seal between the clamping flange and cup. The drain assembly may further comprise a grate, a grate retainer, and an adjuster for adjustably securing the grate retainer to the clamping flange.

A ligature resistant strainer for a drain assembly and connecting to a drain system. The strainer includes a grate and an extension block coupled to the grate. The grate defines a first thickness, and the extension block defines a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. Portions of the grate cooperate with portions of the extension block to define a plurality of apertures extending through the strainer and inhibiting attachment of a ligature to the strainer.

The invention pertains to an odor trap, which comprises a first drainage channel situated between an inlet and an outlet, comprising, viewed in the flow direction, a first closing wall for the closing off of an uppermost part of the drainage channel and a second closing wall for the closing off of a lowermost part of the first drainage channel. The first and second closing walls, viewed in a horizontal direction, overlap. The odor trap comprises an elongated main body. The inlet substantially extends over the length of a first planar surface of the main body, which first planar surface is determined by the first closing wall. The second closing wall is situated in the main body. The outlet is situated in a second planar surface, situated opposite the first planar surface. The invention also pertains to a drain body and a drain assembly.
