Abstract:
1. An apparatus for draining at least one sink that has a downwardly disposed drain ending in a lower end comprising: a trough upwardly open to effluent flow discharging from the downwardly disposed drain, the trough configured to extend beneath the sink and having a discharge end and an upstream end; a means for positioning the trough to induce the effluent flow to the discharge end of the trough and to provide an air gap between the bottom of the trough and the lower end of the drain; and a selectively positionable marker to mark a location of a sink drain above the trough for guiding the positioning of a removable strainer, thereby enabling the positioning of the strainer at the marker and consequent alignment of the strainer with the effluent flow from the drain to collect solids discharging from the drain into the apparatus.
