A seal and protection system and method for use with a drain body to protect components of the drain body from damage during construction and eliminate trip hazards to a user created by an opening of the drain body is provided. The system also permits the user to test the drain body for leaks. The system includes a gasket coupled to the drain body opening, and a circular cover coupled to the gasket and having a beveled outer edge, a top face and a bottom face, the bottom face having a plurality of inner ribs disposed thereon and radially spaced apart such that each inner rib of the plurality of inner ribs is equidistant from each adjacent inner rib. The beveled outer edge of the cover conforms to contours of the drain body and extends to enclose the opening of the drain body, thereby sealing and protecting the drain body.
