Abstract
A linear drain assembly includes a drain body with a drain channel extending along the drain body and an outlet structure intercepting the drain channel. The drain body has a constant outer profile along a longitudinal length of the drain body between at least one end of the drain channel and the outlet structure and the drain channel has a sloped bottom surface.
Claims8
A linear drain assembly comprising:
- a drain body including:
- a permanent structural cover:
- a first drain channel formed below the cover and extending in a longitudinal direction along the drain body;
- a first slotted inlet defined in the cover and located toward a sidewall of the first drain channel, the first slotted inlet extending in the longitudinal direction along the cover and being in fluid communication with the first drain channel;
- and
- an outlet structure intercepting the drain channel;
- and
- at least one end attachment attachable to a longitudinal end of the drain body, the at least one end attachment including;
- a second drain channel in fluid communication with the first drain channel of the drain body, the second drain channel having a closed end defining a curvature;
- and
- a second slotted inlet extending in the longitudinal direction along the at least one end attachment and in fluid communication with the second drain inlet, the second slotted inlet forming a continuation of the first slotted channel,
- wherein the closed end of the second drain channel is arranged to direct debris moving through the second drain channel toward the second slotted inlet.
