| 20120005873 | MOCK SHOWER DRAIN AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A method for preparing a shower area to receive an integrated bonding flange drain prior to installing the integrated bonding flange drain comprises: ensuring that suitable plumbing exists below a subfloor of the shower area to accommodate the integrated bonding flange drain, the plumbing including at least a drain fitting operable to mate with a lower section of the integrated bonding flange drain; ensuring that a suitable opening is formed in the subfloor through which the integrated bonding flange drain can be disposed when accommodated by the plumbing; temporarily installing within the drain fitting a lower section of a mock drain; and orienting an upper section of the mock drain such that an uppermost section of the mock drain is elevated at least as high as to be substantially flush with the subfloor of the shower area when the lower section of the mock drain is mated with the drain fitting. | 01-12-2012 |
