  • Publication number: 20250122713
    Abstract: A floor drain system is provided comprising a coupler piece, extension pieces, end caps, and a drain cover. The drain coupler piece includes a connector for connection to a drain line and receivers for engagement with drain extension pieces, forming a drain main body. The main body includes opposed side walls and a floor forming a channel for liquid to flow and drain. Each side wall includes a lip extending inward and along the length of the drain and configured for mounting a grate. End caps are configured for sealing ends of the drain. Alternatively, a light box end piece can be utilized to seal an end of the drain while providing a housing and access point for drain lighting. Tile can be installed overlaying at least part of a top surface of each side wall or abutting the drain. The drain extension pieces can be cut to size.

  • Publication number: 20250034855
    Abstract: A tile drain and method of installing a tile drain is provided. The tile drain includes a drain body and a drain cover. The drain body defines a top opening, top weep apertures, and bottom weep apertures. The top opening receives the drain cover and serves as the primary drain for the tile drain. The top weep apertures are positioned below a top layer, such as a tile layer, of the base so as to receive fluid positioned between the top layer and a top waterproofing layer of the base. The sub weep apertures are positioned below the top waterproofing layer of the base so as to receive fluid positioned between the top waterproofing layer and a bottom waterproofing layer of the base. The drain body is encapsulated within the base, but the drain cover is adjustable relative to, and removable from, the drain body.
