An adjustable drain apparatus includes a drain base received within a floor. A flange is coupled to the drain base. A ring is disposed in a flange cavity and selectively movable therein. A grate is coupled to the ring. At least one retainer is coupled to the flange to retain the ring in the flange cavity. Preferably, two opposite rings selectively secure the ring in the flange. The flange has two different orientations with respect to the drain base to selectively position the grate at two different elevations with respect to the drain base.

1. An adjustable drain apparatus for positioning within a surrounding floor, comprising:a) a grate configured to allow fluid to drain therethrough; b) a connector channel, having an upper end coupled to the grate, and a lower end; c) a ring having: 1) an inner surface that is attached to the lower end of the connector channel, and 2) an outer substantially spherical surface; d) a flange, positioned about the ring, having a cavity to receive the ring and to rotatably hold the ring therein, the grate being tiltable relative to the flange; e) a drain base, having a drain cavity and a cavity surface formed therein, the flange being secured to the drain base to close the drain cavity and separate the ring and connector channel from the cavity surface; f) the flange being designed to hold the ring in two orientations, including: 1) a lower orientation in which the flange cavity and the ring extend into the drain cavity and the grate is disposed at a lower elevation, and 2) a higher orientation in which the flange cavity and the ring extend above the drain base and the grate is disposed at a higher elevation.
