Abstract
A drain system comprises a frame configured for placement over a drain opening of a drain body. A tray is removably positionable on the frame. The tray includes a plurality of supports distributed and spaced around an underside of the tray. The plurality of supports extend downwardly from the underside of the tray. The plurality of supports can be configured to interface with at least part of the frame such that a plurality of fluid paths are defined between the tray and frame when the tray is positioned on the frame. At least some of the plurality of fluid paths can extend around and under the tray and are in fluid communication with the drain opening.
