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.
Drains and methods for providing a centered drain opening without moving a drain outlet
A linear drain for providing a centered drain opening without moving a drain outlet is disclosed. The linear drain includes an ingress assembly defining at least one ingress opening. An egress assembly defines a channel configured to covey liquid to an egress opening. The egress opening is offset from a channel midpoint of the channel and is configured to be in communication with the drain outlet. An attaching element connects the ingress assembly with the egress assembly. The attaching element is configured such that an ingress assembly midpoint of the ingress assembly is configured to be positioned in a plurality of different final locations relative to the egress opening when the centered drain is in a fully assembled configuration.
PROMENADE DRAIN
A promenade drain for installation on a surface. The promenade drain including a base at least partially defining a channel and an outlet, a connector couplable to the base to form a first joint therebetween, a grate defining one or more apertures, and a frame. The frame, in turn, includes a second sliding surface configured to slide relative to a first sliding surface of the connector, and where the frame can be rotated with respect to the base without influencing the first joint.

Adjustable floor drain
A drain assembly including a shroud, a shank having a cylindrical radially inward facing surface defining an axis, a grate defining a plurality of openings, a frame positioned axially between the shank and the grate, and where the frame is configured to support the grate. The drain assembly also includes a cover removably coupleable to the drain assembly and configured to prevent material from coming into contact with the grate, where the cover includes an axial height defining an axial envelope, and where the grate is positioned within the axial envelope.

Adjustable drain assembly and retrofit kit for adjustable drain assembly
An adjustable drain assembly for adjusting the level and pitch of the frame so that, after installation, the frame can be adjust so that the strainer is level or flush with the finished floor surface. A retrofit kit for combining with a preexisting head already installed in a floor to provide an adjustable drain assembly is also disclosed.

Shower floor assembly
A shower floor former assembly is provided which comprises a shower floor former having a non-circular waste-plate receiver and a drain waste plate which is dimensioned to be receivable in the waste-plate receiver. A centre point of the waste-plate receiver is offset from a centre point of the shower floor former, and the drain waste plate has a drainage aperture therethrough, a centre point of the drainage aperture being offset from a centre point of the drain waste plate. The drain waste plate is receivable in the waste-plate receiver in a first condition in which the centre point of the drainage aperture is offset relative to the centre point of the shower floor former. The drain waste plate is also receivable in the waste-plate receiver in a second condition in which the centre point of the drainage aperture is coincident with the centre point of the shower floor former.
