(54) Floor drain


(57) A floor drain (2) with a drain bowl (4) with a preferably cylindric outer side (6) and a lower central drain connection (8) which is adapted for connecting to either a straight drain pipe or to an angular drain pipe (12). The drain bowl includes a grate (18) forming a detachable lid and a mounting flange (36) externally of the outer side (6) of the drain bowl (4). The mounting flange (36) is made integral with the drain bowl and is formed by a rim area (38) at the upper edge (40) of the drain bowl. At the outer delimiting edge (44) of the rim area, integrated anchor means (46) are formed, adapted to be bent outwards from the mounting flange plane, and the mounting flange (36) also includes an integrated mounting means (50) for earth rods. In a simple way is hereby achieved a floor drain with a drain bowl (4) with integrated associated mounting flange which may easily be permanently mounted in a floor and which at the same time can be adapted to the height of an existing as well as of a newly established building membrane.
