Drain adapter device
Described herein are embodiments of a drain adapter device configured as a low-profile drain that provides a dry seal between a drain base and an installed floor drain. The low-profile drain is configured to receive threaded drain gates or strainers. In some embodiments, the drain adapter device provides a low-profile drain system that includes universal receiving features configured to engage with strainers, drain gates, caps, and the like.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM, DRAINAGE UNITS, AND METHODS
Disclosed is a drainage system (1) comprising: at least one water receiving unit (20) having: a water receptacle (22) for receiving water from an adjoining surface of an upper stratum; and at least one drainage unit comprising: a body; wherein: the water receptacle (22) can be integrated into the upper stratum; the drainage unit can be provided and oriented, at least in part, in a central stratum at a distance under the surface, with respect to its uppermost face, such that water flowing out of the water receiving unit (20) can flow into the drainage unit through a connection between the water receptacle (22) and the body; and the connection can be maintained irrespective of a change in this distance. Also disclosed are drainage units and methods.
ADJUSTABLE FLOOR DRAIN AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION
A drain assembly comprises a shroud, a shank, and a frame. The drain assembly may further comprise a shim with an angled top surface. The frame may have an angled bottom surface. A rotational orientation of the angled top surface of the shim relative to the shank and a rotational orientation of the angled bottom surface of the frame relative to the shank may be independently adjustable, thereby allowing for the top surface of the frame to be both angularly and rotationally adjusted relative to a central axis of the drain assembly independent of the positional height of the shank. The drain assembly may further comprise a cover having bendable tabs. The bendable tabs may be disposed around a periphery of the cover and may be configured to contact an angled inner surface of an upper bowl of the shroud, such that the bendable tabs bend around the frame, thereby locking the cover onto the frame.
Liquid waste receptor
A strainer assembly for use with a floor waste receptor having vertical walls and a floor forming a well into which liquid waste material can be collected and directed toward a well discharge opening and then into a drain pipe, the vertical walls having an outer flange extending outward from the vertical walls at a position below the top surface formed by the vertical walls, and an inner ledge formed below the top surface, and the floor shaped to form a ledge around the drain opening, comprising: a well discharge opening strainer assembly; a basket strainer sized to fit in the well and over the well discharge opening strainer assembly and sit on the floor ledge, the basket strainer provided with openings sized to permit liquid water matter of a second predetermined size to move from the floor receptor well through the basket strainer and into the well discharge opening strainer assembly, and a grate strainer sized to sit on the interior ledge.
Shower drain
A drain (1) is described for mounting in a floor (V), comprising: a collecting container (10) with a bottom (11) and standing side walls (12) which at their upper end are provided with a flange (13) directed outwards; and a covering frame (200) for covering side edges of tiles (T) of this floor. The frame is kept at the correct height by means of a temporary positioning aid (100), to be subsequently attached to said tiles (T) by means of glue or kit (210). After that, the positioning aid (100) is removed.
Adjustable floor drain and method of installation
A drain assembly comprises a shroud, a shank, and a frame. The drain assembly may further comprise a shim with an angled top surface. The frame may have an angled bottom surface. A rotational orientation of the angled top surface of the shim relative to the shank and a rotational orientation of the angled bottom surface of the frame relative to the shank may be independently adjustable, thereby allowing for the top surface of the frame to be both angularly and rotationally adjusted relative to a central axis of the drain assembly independent of the positional height of the shank. The drain assembly may further comprise a cover having bendable tabs. The bendable tabs may be disposed around a periphery of the cover and may be configured to contact an angled inner surface of an upper bowl of the shroud, such that the bendable tabs bend around the frame, thereby locking the cover onto the frame.
Retrofit drain apparatus and method of installation
A removable drain includes a grill grate including at least one aperture and at least one grill grate first fastener opening configured to receive a first fastener, and a support flange configured to support the grill grate and configured to be coupled to an existing drain, the support flange having a central opening and including a recessed flange extending into the opening from an interior wall for the support flange and on which the grill grate can be accommodated, at least one first support flange fastener opening configured to receive the first fastener, and at least one second support flange fastener opening configured to receive a second fastener, wherein the grill grate is configured to be detachably coupled to the support flange by the first fastener and wherein the support flange is configured to be detachably coupled to an existing drain structure by the second fastener.
FAST INSTALLATION CAP AND DRAIN
An elongated floor cleanout assembly includes a drain assembly. The drain assembly has a body assembly and a grating cover secured to the body assembly by at least one screw. The drain assembly also has a cap enclosing the drain assembly and secured to the grating cover by the at least one screw. The cap defines at least one slit having an arcuate portion and an end. The at least one screw is captured in the arcuate portion and the cap can be rotated to selectively allow the at least one screw to freely pass through the end for removal of the cap without removing the at least one screw.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM, DRAINAGE UNITS, AND METHODS
A drainage system (1) comprising: at least one water receiving unit (20) having: a water receptacle (22) for receiving water from an adjoining surface; a first neck piece (24) which can be connected to the water receptacle (22) and provided such that water can flow out of the water receiving unit (20) through an opening (26) of the first neck piece (24); and at least one water drainage unit (40) for draining the water, comprising: a pipe body (42); and a first opening (46b), provided on the pipe body (42), for receiving the water in said pipe body (42); wherein: the water drainage unit (40) can be provided and oriented under the surface such j that the opening (26) of the first neck piece (24) and the first opening (46b) of the pipe body (42) can be connected and the water flowing out of the water receiving unit (20) can flow into the water drainage unit (40). Also disclosed are drainage units and methods.
