  • Patent number: 10704248
    Abstract: A drainage system (1) for installation in a wet area such as a shower stall. The drainage system (1) comprises an outer drainage conduit (2) adapted to extend within a subfloor (100) of a wet area and an inner drainage conduit (3). The conduit (2) comprises a rim (20) and a pipe body (21). The inner drainage conduit (3) also comprises a rim (30) and a pipe body (31). The rim (30) and pipe body (31) are nestable within the outer drainage conduit (2). When nested, the pipe bodies (21, 31) are adapted to be connectively sealed together using sealant, the rims (20, 30) are adapted to hold a waterproofing membrane (107) between the rims (20, 30) and to be connectively sealed in a water-tight manner to the waterproofing membrane (107) using sealant or, in the absence of a waterproofing membrane (107), the rims (20, 30) are adapted to be connectively sealed together using sealant in a water-tight manner.

  • Patent number: 6799606
    Abstract: An accessory for use in construction includes a conduit (12) that has an inlet end (34) portion and an outlet end (18) portion. The outlet end (18) portion is mountable on a drainage pipe (22) so that the conduit (12) and the drainage pipe (22) are in fluid communication with each other. A removable closure member (40) is mounted on the inlet end (34) portion to close the conduit (12) when not in use or during building construction, so that ingress of material or detritus into the drainage pipe (22) is inhibited.
