Abstract
A drain device can include a drain body, a drain nut, and a retaining member. The drain body can include at least one wall forming a cavity, where the at least one wall traverses an aperture in the enclosure, and where the drain body has a top end positioned inside the enclosure and a bottom end positioned outside the enclosure. The drain nut can be mechanically coupled to the drain body and can include a number of extending members extending substantially radially away from the top end of the drain body. Each extending member can have a distal end and a proximal end mechanically coupled to the top end of the drain body. Each extending member can have a length that is greater than a width of the proximal end. The retaining member can be mechanically coupled to the bottom end of the drain body.

A drain device for an enclosure, the drain comprising:
- a drain body comprising at least one wall forming a cavity, wherein the at least one wall traverses an aperture in the enclosure, and wherein the drain body has a top end positioned, inside the enclosure and a bottom end positioned outside the enclosure;
- a drain, nut mechanically coupled to the top end of the drain body, wherein the drain nut comprises:
- a plurality of extending members extending substantially radially away from the top end of the drain body,
- wherein each extending member has a distal, end and a proximal end mechanically coupled to the top end of the drain body, and
- wherein each extending member has a length that is greater than a width of the proximal end:
- and
- a retaining member mechanically coupled to the bottom end of the drain body.
An enclosure, comprising:
- an enclosure wall having an aperture that traverses therethrough, wherein the enclosure wall separates an interior region and an exterior region;
- and
- a drain device traversing the aperture and mechanically coupled to the enclosure wall, the drain device comprising:
- a drain body comprising at least one wall forming a cavity, wherein the at least one wall traverses the aperture in the enclosure, wherein the drain body has a top end positioned In the interior region and a bottom end positioned in the exterior region;
- a drain nut mechanically coupled to the top end of the drain body In the interior region, wherein the drain nut comprises:
- a plurality of extending members extending substantially radially away from the top end of the drain body,
- wherein each extending member has a distal end and a proximal end mechanically coupled to the top end of the drain body;
- and
- wherein each extending member has a length that is greater than a width of the proximal end;
- and
- a retaining member mechanically coupled to the. bottom end of the drain body in the exterior region.
An adaptive drain nut, comprising:
- a plurality of extending members arranged adjacent to each other in a geometric shape,
- wherein each extending member has a proximal end mechanically coupled to at least one feature of an existing drain device,
- wherein each extending member has a length that is greater than a width of the proximal end, and
- wherein the existing drain device is mechanically coupled to an enclosure through an aperture in an enclosure wall.
