An drain that is adjustable in height and pitch to allow the top of the drain to conform to the pitch of the surface of a surrounding surface. The adjustable drain apparatus is positioned level with a floor therearound. Where the drain has a grate, designed to allow fluid to drain therethrough, a funnel, having an upper end coupled to the grate, and a lower end, and a ring, having an inner surface used to attach to the lower end, and an outer substantially spherical surface that allows the grate to be tilted. There is also a cavity formed therein, an upper and lower spherical surface, positioned in the cavity, designed to mate with the spherical surface of the ring, and to securely hold the ring therebetween, and a plate, positioned about the funnel, designed to be secured to the drain base and close the cavity in a way to securely hold the ring and thereby the funnel in a specific tilted position after adjustment. There is a connector coupled to the drain base and positioned below the cavity, designed to be connected to a pipe. Wherein the upper and lower spherical surfaces are mounted on an upper and lower adapter that are placed within the cavity around the ring. Additionally, the funnel has threads positioned therearound, and the ring has threads positioned on the inner surface so that the funnel can be threaded into the ring.
