Claim Text:
1. A drain assembly for providing drainage to a drain pipe in a floor, the assembly comprising: a drain conduit, elongate along a central axis, the drain conduit having an inner surface that defines a fluid flow path and an outer surface opposite the inner surface; a strainer disposed above the drain conduit, the strainer having openings in fluid communication with the fluid flow path of the drain conduit; and an adaptor securable in the drain conduit and connectable to the strainer exclusively at an outer portion of the strainer that is offset from the central axis, wherein prior to securing the adaptor in the drain conduit, the adaptor is movable with respect to the drain conduit so as to facilitate alignment of the strainer with a top surface of the floor, wherein the outer surface of the drain conduit is configured to receive a hardenable substratum so as to secure the drain assembly to the drain pipe once the substratum hardens into a hardened substratum, the hardened substratum partially defining the floor, and wherein once the substratum hardens, the adaptor is configured to be movable with respect to the drain conduit so as to level the strainer with a top surface of the floor when the strainer is secured to the adaptor.
