Abstract: A shower pan and method of manufacture are described. Embodiments of the shower pan can include, but are not limited to, a solid surface top layer and a PET second layer that can be thermoformed, molded, and laminated in a single step. The solid surface top layer can be approximately ?? to ¼? thick and the PET second layer can be approximately ?? to 1?? thick. The shower pan may further include a third layer being fiberglass.

Abstract: A recessed point drain assembly is described. Embodiments of the recessed point drain assembly can include, but are not limited to, a base plate having a recess, a drain body adapted to be coupled to the base plate by a first plurality of fasteners, and a clamping collar adapted to be coupled to the drain by a second plurality of fasteners. A gasket can be sandwiched between the drain body and the clamping collar. Typically, a top of the recessed point drain assembly can be configured to be substantially flush with a top of a subfloor.

Abstract: A set of differently configured brackets that when secured to one or more of the floor joists, wall edges and existing subfloor lower the subfloor a predetermined amount are described. The predetermined amount is typically sufficient to permit the installation of a shower pan of appropriate slope towards a drain and permit a curb-less transition between the surrounding floor and the shower stall floor.

Abstract: A pipe trap assembly is described. Embodiments of the pipe trap assembly can include a first plate, a second plate, and a plurality of fasteners. The second plate can include two or more protrusions extending inwardly from an interior edge of an opening in the second plate. The protrusions can be implemented to frictionally engage a waste line. In one example, the pipe trap assembly can be used to secure a waste line for coupling to a drain base of a drain assembly.

Abstract: A drain assembly that is installed at and against the wall of a shower stall providing an inlet along the intersection of the wall with the floor, and the methodology of installing the drain assembly are described. In at least some embodiments of an installed configuration, only a thin slit along the wall/floor intersection is visible in a finished shower enclosure.

Abstract: Elongated drain assemblies, systems and their methods of installation suitable for use in tiled shower stalls are described. The drain assembly includes (i) a base unit with locator pins that penetrate a waterproof membrane when installed and are received in locator pin holes in a overlying mounting bracket permitting alignment of fastener holes and bores in the respective bracket and base unit, and (ii) end extenders that can increase the effective length of the trough through attachment to the ends of the base unit thereby allowing drain assemblies of differing lengths to be created for a particular application.

Abstract: A three dimensional structure comprised of a flexible sheet material referred to herein as a curb cover is described that can be easily secured with adhesive or resin over the intersection of a shower stall floor, a shower stall wall, and a step over curb. The curb cover is used in conjunction with a waterproof membrane to waterproof the shower pan and up portions of the surrounding wall and step over curb.

Abstract: Elongated drain assemblies suitable for use in tiled shower stalls are described. Because the elongated drain is typically located at one edge of the shower stall proximate a stall wall and extends substantially the entire length of the wall, the installation of the associated shower pan is made much simpler. Specifically, the pan need only be sloped substantially in a single direction instead of four towards a prior art circular drain located at the center of a stall. The time and cost of creating a pan having a single slope is reduced over a more complex multi-sloped pan. Several different means for adjusting the height of the drain assemblies' top surfaces relative to the height of the tile floor are provided to adjust for tile floors of differing thicknesses. Various drain grates including a V-shaped drain grate and various spacers including an adjustable spacer are disclosed. Additionally a combination elongated drain assembly and shower door assembly is described.
