Channel drain

Abstract

A channel drain for use in a fabricated surface having an exposed appearance. The channel drain includes a first body having a plurality of support surfaces, with each support surface extending from a respective body sidewall in spaced relation to a body lower wall. A plurality of inserts are insertable into the first body. Each insert includes an insert cavity sized and structured to receive a selected material having an appearance substantially identical to the exposed appearance of the fabricated surface. Each insert is supported by certain ones of the plurality of support surfaces when inserted into the first body and is sized and structured to define a gap between the pair of body sidewalls when inserted into the first body, with the gap allowing for fluid to flow therethrough toward the body lower wall.

1 . A channel drain for use in a fabricated surface having an exposed appearance, the channel drain comprising:
 a first body having:
 a body lower wall; 
 a pair of body sidewalls extending from the body lower wall in opposed relation to each other; and 
 a plurality of support surfaces, each support surface extending from a respective one of the pair of body sidewalls in spaced relation to the body lower wall; and 
   a plurality of inserts insertable into the first body, each insert having:
 an insert lower wall; and 
 a pair of insert sidewalls extending from insert lower wall in opposed relation to each other, the pair of insert sidewalls and the insert lower wall at least partially defining an insert cavity sized and structured to receive a selected material having an appearance substantially identical to the exposed appearance of the fabricated surface; 
   each insert being supported by certain ones of the plurality of support surfaces when inserted into the first body and being sized and structured to define a gap between the pair of body sidewalls when inserted into the first body, the gap allowing for fluid to flow therethrough toward the body lower wall.
