Drain adapter device
Described herein are embodiments of a drain adapter device configured as a low-profile drain that provides a dry seal between a drain base and an installed floor drain. The low-profile drain is configured to receive threaded drain gates or strainers. In some embodiments, the drain adapter device provides a low-profile drain system that includes universal receiving features configured to engage with strainers, drain gates, caps, and the like.
DRAINAGE DEVICE FOR ABOVE-GROUND POOL AND ABOVE-GROUND POOL
A drainage device for an above-ground pool, and an above-ground pool including the drainage device are provided. The drainage device includes a drainage pipe, with inlet and outlet ends, and a drainage valve connected to the inlet end of the drainage pipe. The drainage valve includes a water inlet periphery, defining a water inlet in fluid communication with the inlet end of the drainage pipe, and a connecting member disposed circumferentially around the water inlet periphery. The connecting member is radially spaced apart from the water inlet periphery. The connecting member may be formed by injection molding around the water inlet periphery.
Method and apparatus for connecting a tub drain to the main plumbing of a structure
An apparatus for connecting the plumbing of a tub to the main plumbing of a structure has a drain body which either directly connects to the main plumbing or uses an external pipe and/or a coupler to connect to the main plumbing. The apparatus has a flange which secures the entire apparatus to the mounting surface for the tub. A compression cap aids in guiding plumbing attached to the tub through the apparatus. A gasket aids in creating a water-tight or nearly water-tight seal. A method of using the apparatus aids in ease of installation of the tub.

Bathroom fixtures and components
A toilet installed in a bathroom includes a toilet bowl and a tank coupled to the toilet bowl. The tank can contain fluid for the toilet bowl. A rear surface of the tank is flush against a wall of the bathroom such that there is no gap between the tank and the wall and a bottom surface of the tank is flush against a floor of the bathroom such that there is no gap between the tank and the floor. The tank extends longitudinally above and below the toilet bowl and laterally outward past the toilet bowl such that a first side surface and a second side surface of the tank define outermost side peripheries of the toilet.

BATHTUB DRAIN CONNECTION SYSTEMS
A bathtub drain connection system includes a first drain pipe configured to couple to a drain opening of a bathtub and a second drain pipe configured to mount to a floor structure. A drain connector is extends between the first drain pipe and the second drain pipe so that the first drain pipe and the second drain pipe are coupled in fluid communication. The drain connector is configured to allow the first drain pipe to be disposed offset relative to the second drain pipe and in a direction that is substantially parallel to a plane defined by the floor structure.

Easy drain installation assembly for bath or shower
A drain assembly includes a drain body and an expanding assembly. The drain body includes a first flange and a second flange that each extend away from an inner surface of the drain body towards a center of the drain body. The expanding assembly is positionable within the drain body between the first flange and the second flange. The expanding assembly includes a lattice body. The lattice body can be adjusted relative to the drain body such that the expanding assembly applies an axial force to the first flange and the second flange.
