Abstract
A drain assembly comprises a drain pan, a trim member, and a drain cover. The drain pan has a base and a pan sidewall, and the trim member has a trim sidewall. The pan sidewall, at least a portion of the upper surface of the base, and the trim sidewall define a drain channel therebetween. The drain cover defines a plurality of apertures and is positionable above the drain pan. The trim member is configured to transition between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the trim member, the drain channel has a first width that extends in a transverse direction. In the second position of the trim member, the drain channel has a second width that extends in the transverse direction. The first width is different than the second width.
Claims19
A linear drain assembly comprising:
- a drain pan having a pan base and a pan sidewall coupled to a first side of the pan base and oriented at an angle relative to the pan base, the pan base having a drain opening formed therethrough, wherein the drain pan lacks a sidewall along at least part of a second, opposite side of the pan base to allow liquid to flow into the drain pan on the second side of the pan base;
- a trim member having a trim base and a trim sidewall coupled to the trim base and oriented at an angle relative to the trim base, wherein the trim member is positioned on the pan base such that the trim sidewall, the pan sidewall and at least a portion of an upper surface of the pan base define a drain channel therebetween;
- and
- a drain cover having a plurality of apertures formed therethrough, wherein the drain cover is positioned at least one of in or above the drain channel to allow liquid to flow through the drain cover into the drain channel.
