Abstract: A drain assembly includes a drain body connected to a drain pipe such that the drain body is in fluid communication with the drain pipe; and a drain head assembly adjustably connected to the drain body such that the drain head assembly is in fluid communication with the drain body. The drain head assembly includes a shank adjustably connected to the drain body and a strainer assembly connected to the shank. The strainer assembly includes a strainer, an upper frame, and a lower frame connected to each other. The lower frame includes a connection feature that non-threadably and removably connects the strainer assembly to the shank. The drain assembly further includes a cover removably connected to the shank in a position over the shank and to at least partially define a void in a poured concrete slab around the shank.

The at least one waste line sleeve includes a horizontal passageway defined therein, the horizontal passageway being configured to allow a horizontal waste line to extend through the at least one waste line sleeve and the at least one of the at least two vertically-extending upright members.

Abstract: A coupling assembly for a closet carrier system for a water closet includes a central pipe member having a first end and a second end, and an interior surface defining a hollow interior; an adapter member separate from the central pipe member and connected to the second end of the central pipe member, the adapter having an interior surface defining a hollow interior and configured to adjustably connect the coupling assembly to a faceplate of the system; and a horn coupling member configured to be connected to the first end of the central pipe member. At least the hollow interior of the central pipe member and the hollow interior of the adapter member form an internal passage of the coupling assembly. The horn coupling member is configured to be connected to a water closet to place the internal passage of the coupling assembly in fluid communication with the water closet.

Abstract: A drain assembly includes a drain body connected to a drain pipe such that the drain body is in fluid communication with the drain pipe and a cover that is operatively connected to the drain body in a position over the drain body. The cover is configured to at least partially define a void in a poured concrete slab over the drain body. The cover includes a top, a bottom, and at least one perimetrical sidewall that defines at least one perimetrical surface of the cover. At least one layer of a release material is applied to the at least one perimetrical surface of the cover to prevent poured concrete from adhering to the cover. The bottom of the cover includes a non-threaded attachment mechanism for operatively connecting the cover to the drain body.

Abstract: A flush valve diaphragm that includes a body portion and a peripheral sealing portion. The body portion is flexible and has a central passageway. The peripheral portion includes an integral filter, an exit chamber, and a bypass arrangement, such that water flowing through the filter flows through the bypass arrangement. The integral filter prevents clogging of the bypass arrangement. The diaphragm is used in a flush valve diaphragm assembly and a flush valve.

Abstract: A slotted drain having a first channeled half having a first engaging structure and a second channeled half having a second engaging structure mating within the first engaging structure is disclosed. The first channeled half can define a cantilever snap-fit recess and the second channeled half can comprise a cantilever snap-fit protrusion. A slot is formed when the first and second channeled halves are joined. The slot is adapted to receive a liquid variant and the slotted drain is adapted to receive the liquid from the slot into the first and second channeled halves. The slotted drain may optionally include a concrete pass-through port, a rebar clip, bedding feet and/or securement ribs. A method of assembling a slotted drain is also disclosed.

Abstract: A seal for a drain that includes a seal body having an annular portion and an integral disk portion. An outer sealing surface and inner sealing surface are defined on the annular portion. A handle extends from a first surface of the disk portion. The disk portion defines at least one scribe line adapted to facilitate removal of the disk portion from the annular portion when a pulling force is applied to the handle.

Abstract: A refill ring for a flush valve that is attached to a guide member of a valve assembly and is positioned for contact with a passage of the flush valve is described. The refill ring includes an annular-shaped solid resilient member, such as an O-ring. The refill ring is received on the guide member. Alternatively, the refill ring can be integrally formed on an underside of the diaphragm.

Abstract: A unitary diaphragm assembly for use primarily in conventional flush valves. The diaphragm assembly has a flexible diaphragm which includes a sealing portion and a mounting portion at the outer peripheral edge. A flow ring is positioned adjacent the sealing portion of the diaphragm. An elongated barrel member extends from the diaphragm in a longitudinal direction and includes a plurality of radial guides positioned circumferentially around the outer surface of the barrel member along a portion of the length of the barrel member. The diaphragm defines an orifice having a ring portion that flexes when a pressure difference is applied across the orifice thereby increasing the flow rate across the diaphragm. The orifice has a smaller diameter at a first end relative to a second end of the orifice. A method of compensating for a pressure difference across the diaphragm is also disclosed.
