Patent number: 11891786Abstract: A carrier assembly for supporting a water closet having an outlet. The carrier assembly including a faceplate defining an opening therethrough, where the opening includes a first end configured to form a water-tight seal with the outlet of the water closet and a second end opposite the first end, and a fluid coupler defining a fluid pathway therethrough, where the fluid pathway includes an inlet and an outlet opposite the inlet, where the outlet is configured to be coupled to and form a water-tight seal with a wastewater pipe while the fluid pathway is in fluid communication with an internal volume of the wastewater pipe, and where the outlet has at least one degree of adjustability relative to the wastewater pipe.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: ZURN INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: John Matthew Lawrence, Frank Schaetzke

Publication number: 20230257985Abstract: A drain assembly for installation in a shower floor, the drain assembly including a drain body including an upper surface defining a top side, and a lower surface opposite the upper surface defining a bottom side. The drain assembly also defines an aperture extending along an axis through the drain body between the upper surface and the lower surface and includes an outlet having a flange and an elongated body. When assembled, the elongated body is configured to extend below the lower surface of the drain body when the flange rests on the upper surface. The drain assembly also includes one or more fasteners configured to couple the outlet to the drain body to form a water-tight seal therebetween, where each of the one or more fasteners are accessible from the top side.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: David Michael Gomo, Robert Anthony DiPlacido, Michael Thomas Benesh, Christopher J. Say, John Matthew Lawrence

Patent number: 11408164Abstract: A modular room includes a floor having an upper surface, and a lower surface. The floor defines a floor height between the upper surface and the lower surface, and the floor defines a through aperture. At least three walls have a lower end connected to the floor and an upper end extend away from the floor, a ceiling is connected to the upper end of the walls, and a drain body is positioned in the floor aperture. The drain body has an upper surface and a lower surface and defines a drain body height between the upper and lower surfaces. The drain body height is less than the floor height, such that the drain body does not extend above the upper surface of the floor or below the lower surface of the flow while the drain body is positioned in the aperture in the floor.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: ZURN INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: David Michael Gomo, Robert Anthony DiPlacido, Michael Thomas Benesh, Christopher J.
