Floor Through Assembly with Adjustable Drain

Abstract

A trough assembly with adjustable drain is provided. The trough assembly is designed to address seepage problems associated with traditional drain and trough industry standard installation methods. The trough assembly includes a drain assembly. The drain assembly includes a seepage flange. The seepage flange includes a collar having open-ended slots. These slots are configured to cooperate with coupling protrusions to allow for adjustability of the drain assembly. This adjustability allows for accommodation of construction errors, including, but not limited to, variations in the elevation of the finished floor elevation. The seepage flange is also configured to collect seepage fluids into the central aperture of the drain assembly.

1 . A floor trough assembly, comprising:
 an upper assembly including a drain bowl and a trough coupled to the drain bowl;   a lower assembly adapted to be mounted vertically below the upper assembly, the lower assembly comprising a seepage flange having a collar configured to receive the drain bowl, wherein the upper assembly is adjustable relative to the lower assembly by positioning the drain bowl in the seepage flange, the drain bowl being moveable therein.   
     
     
         2 . A floor trough assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the drain bowl is adjustable vertically with respect to the seepage flange. 
     
     
         3 . A floor trough assembly according to  claim 1  wherein the drain bowl is rotationally adjustable relative to the seepage flange about a substantially vertical axis. 
     
     
         4 . A drain assembly, comprising:
 a sump drain having a sump drain rim and an upper opening; and   a seepage flange, a collar and a seepage flange rim extending substantially radially outward from the bottom of the collar, wherein the seepage flange rim is coupled to the sump drain rim and includes at least one weep hole, the weep hole being located substantially above the upper opening of the sump drain; and   a membrane secured between the sump drain rim and the seepage flange rim, the membrane configure to guide fluids into the weep holes.   
     
     
         5 . A floor trough assembly installation, comprising:
 a drain;   a first pour comprising a first material;   a second pour substantially above the first pour comprising a second material; and a membrane positioned between the first pour and the second pour, the membrane configured to prevent fluids from seeping into the first pour and to guide fluids into the drain.
