A backwater gate valve assembly having a gate valve movable between a closed position where the gate occludes an outlet opening and an open position where the gate valve does not occlude the outlet opening. The gate valve is coupled to a motorized actuator that is configured to move the gate valve between the open and closed positions upon sensing of a predetermined level of water in the body of the backwater gate valve assembly.

A floor drain assembly for connecting to a drain system of an installation site. The floor drain assembly includes a drain body having drain coupling adapted for connecting to the drain system, a collar mounted to the drain body, and a rough-in adapter having a radially extending flange. The rough-in adapter is axially adjustably mounted to the collar and a strainer frame is axially adjustably mounted to the rough-in adapter. Mounted to the frame is a strainer. A cover encloses the strainer and strainer frame and includes a central region and a downwardly extending perimetric wall that is removably mounted, at a lower end thereof to, the flange of the rough-in adapter.

A threshold drain for collecting an incoming flow of water. The threshold drain includes a catch pan having sidewalls, end walls, a bottom wall and an open top. The catch pan having a width defined between the sidewalls, a length defined between the end walls and a depth defined between the bottom wall and the open top. A grate received within the catch pan and extending between the pan sidewalls. The grate includes a louver array portion and an inlay tray portion. The louver array is configured to permit water to pass into the drain. The inlay tray portion is configured to receive a flooring material.

Abstract
A strainer for a floor sink and a floor sink strainer assembly. The strainer includes a central body defining a perimeter and further includes a generally planar flange extending outwardly from the perimeter of the body. The flange has a shape and size corresponding to the size and shape of the bottom wall of the floor sink. As a result, the strainer is constrained from lateral movement and lifting during a high influx of water.

Abstract
A threshold drain for connecting to a drain system and collecting an incoming flow of water from a predetermined direction across a threshold at the installation site. The drain includes a catch pan with portions defining a pan outlet. A flange pipe is coupled to the pan outlet for the purpose of connecting the threshold drain to the drain system. A grate is received within the catch pan and includes transverse webs and longitudinal webs. The transverse webs extend parallel to one another along the width of the catch pan and are spaced above the pan bottom wall. The longitudinal webs extend parallel to one another along the length of the catch pan and are supported by the transverse webs above the pan bottom wall in a fixed orientation. The fixed orientation is inclined toward the pan side walls adjacent to the incoming flow of water.

Abstract
An embodiment providing one or more improvements includes a trap primer with upper and lower chambers separated by a flexible diaphragm which also interacts with a valve stem to start and stop the flow of water from the trap primer to the trap(s). The lower chamber contains a polymeric foam medium such as a foam ring containing closed cells containing gas or gases. In use, equilibration of water pressures in the upper and lower chambers causes distortion of the foam ring, resulting in equilibration of the gas pressure in the closed cells with that of the chambers. A decrease in line water pressure causes water from the lower chamber to be emitted into the traps.

Abstract
A method for distributing water to at least one trap comprises the steps: a. providing a trap primer having an upper and a lower chamber, the chambers separated by a flexible diaphragm, a valve stem having a bore, an orifice, and a port, the orifice reversibly closed by the diaphragm, and a resilient gas enclosure in the lower chamber, b. charging the upper and lower chambers with water at line pressure, c. closing the valve stem orifice with the flexible diaphragm, d. reducing the line pressure, e. opening the valve stem orifice, f. distributing water from the lower chamber through the valve stem into the at least one trap.
