Abstract: A drain assembly includes a drain body and an expanding assembly. The drain body includes a first flange and a second flange that each extend away from an inner surface of the drain body towards a center of the drain body. The expanding assembly is positionable within the drain body between the first flange and the second flange. The expanding assembly includes a lattice body. The lattice body can be adjusted relative to the drain body such that the expanding assembly applies an axial force to the first flange and the second flange.

Abstract: A shower system for use in a shower environment includes a receptor. The receptor includes a fluid collection area and a rim. The fluid collection area includes a base forming a bottom surface of the fluid collection area and an opening extending through the base to allow water to drain from the fluid collection area via the opening. The rim extends outward from the fluid collection area along at least a portion of a perimeter of the fluid collection area. The rim includes a resizing feature configured to facilitate removing a portion of the rim to change a size of the receptor in one or more dimensions.

Abstract: A drain assembly includes a drain body and an expanding assembly. The drain body defines an axis and includes a first flange extending away from an inner surface of the drain body toward the axis and a second flange extending away from the inner surface of the drain body toward the axis. The expanding assembly is positionable within the drain body between the first flange and the second flange. The expanding assembly includes a lattice body and a fastener. The lattice body is positionable between the first flange and the second flange and a portion of the lattice body defines an aperture extending therethrough. The fastener is adjustably coupled to the lattice body at the aperture. The fastener is configured to be adjusted relative to the lattice body such that the expanding assembly applies an axial force to the first flange and the second flange.

Abstract: A shower receptor includes a base having a floor surface configured for a user to stand on. The floor surface includes a first portion having a first coefficient of friction and a second portion having a second coefficient of friction. The first portion is an etched area of the floor surface that defines a surface texture having a depth. The second portion is an unetched area of the floor surface. The first coefficient of friction of the first portion has a first value when the first portion is wet and the second coefficient of friction of the second portion has a second value when the second portion is wet. The first value is higher than the second value.
