    Floor drainage

    Hi, does anyone know where I could get one of these drain 'cups' from? Not even sure of the proper name for it. Its in a McDonald's and 2nd time I've had to deal with one of these. First time I just improvised with a multi appliance sink trap but there isn't enough space here. Cheers
