Abstract

A screed guide drain adaptor includes a circular disk with a recessed circular center portion defined therein. The recessed circular center portion creates a transition between an outer ring portion and the recessed circular center portion. The screed guide drain adaptor includes a drain aperture defined within the recessed circular center portion. The screed guide is made of a rigid material.

Claims

1. A system for screeding a drain pour comprising:

a screed guide attachable to a drain base, the screed guide comprising;

a circular disk with a recessed circular center portion defined therein;

a drain aperture defined within the recessed circular center portion;

a number of screed guide coupling apertures defined in the recessed circular center portion; and

further comprising a number of perforations defined in an outer ring of the screed guide,

wherein the screed guide is made of a rigid material.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the circular disk with the recessed circular center portion comprises:

a transition ring angled with respect to an outer ring and the recessed circular center portion and coupling the outer ring to the recessed circular center portion,

wherein the outer ring comprises a first slope relative to a horizontal line that enables drainage of fluid across the first slope.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the first slope of the outer ring is approximately 4%.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the angle of the transition ring with respect to the outer ring and the recessed circular center portion is at least greater than the first slope of the outer ring.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein the recessed circular center portion comprises a second slope relative to a horizontal line that enables drainage of the fluid across the second slope.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a texturing defined in at least a portion of the screed guide.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a clamping ring to couple the screed guide to the drain base, the clamping ring comprising;

a number of clamping ring apertures defined in the clamping ring through which a number of fasteners are extended to couple the clamping ring to the drain base via the screed guide coupling apertures of the recessed circular center portion of the screed guide.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the screed guide is made of an oxidation-proof metal.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the screed guide is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

10. A screed guide drain adaptor, comprising:

a circular disk with a recessed circular center portion defined therein, the recessed circular center portion creating a transition between an outer ring portion and the recessed circular center portion;

a drain aperture defined within the recessed circular center portion, wherein the screed guide is made of a rigid material; and

a texturing defined in at least a portion of the screed guide.

11. The screed guide adaptor of claim 10, wherein the screed guide coupling apertures defined in the recessed circular center portion are dimensioned to allow a number of fasteners to extend to couple a clamping ring to a drain base via the screed guide coupling apertures.

12. The screed guide adaptor of claim 10, wherein the transition is angled with respect to the outer ring and the recessed circular center portion and couples the outer ring to the recessed circular center portion.

13. The screed guide adaptor of claim 12, wherein the outer ring comprises a first slope relative to a horizontal line that enables drainage of fluid across the first slope.

14. The screed guide adaptor of claim 12, wherein the recessed circular center portion comprises a second slope relative to a horizontal line that enables drainage of the fluid across the second slope.

15. A kit for screeding a drain pour comprising:

a drain base to couple a drain to a clamping ring; and

a screed guide to couple to the drain base between the drain base and the clamping ring, the screed guide comprising;

a circular disk with a recessed circular center portion defined therein, the recessed circular center portion creating a transition ring between an outer ring and the recessed circular center portion,

wherein the screed guide is made of a rigid material,

wherein the transition ring is angled with respect to the outer ring and the recessed circular center portion, and couples the outer ring to the recessed circular center portion, and

wherein the outer ring of the screed guide comprises a first slope relative to a horizontal line that enables drainage of fluid across the first slope.

16. The kit of claim 15, further comprising:

the clamping ring, wherein the clamping ring comprises a threaded aperture defined within a center of the clamping ring; and

an adjustable drain barrel comprising a threading formed on an exterior barrel portion of the drain barrel that mates with the threaded aperture of the clamping ring.

17. The kit of claim 15, wherein the recessed circular center portion of the screed guide comprises a second slope relative to a horizontal line that enables drainage of the fluid across the second slope.
