The plumbing fixture of the present invention allows a user to quickly and easily attach an accessory, such as a water hose, to a water source in order to transport water to a location that is without water. More specifically, the plumbing fixture provides quick and easy access to a water supply for purposes of, for example, extinguishing a fire. The plumbing fixture also provides a means for a user to perform various activities whereby access to water would be beneficial, such as cleaning floors, bathing pets, people, or watering plants.

A cool water draining device of a bathtub includes a main body, a waterway switch valve, a flow regulating valve; the waterway switch valve and the flow regulating valve are disposed at the outlet passage of the main body; the flow regulating valve is disposed with a temperature control passage and a normal open passage; the waterway switch valve is disposed with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet keeps connected to the outlet passage; when the waterway switch valve is in the initial position, the outlet is connected to the temperature control passage; when the waterway switch valve is switched to a first gear, the outlet is connected to the normal open passage; when the waterway switch valve is switched to the second gear, the outlet is closed; the temperature control passage has a static element, a moving element and a thermal element.

A combination showerhead having a fixed showerhead and a handheld showerhead. The handheld showerhead is supported in line with an associated outlet pipe while the fixed showerhead is supported adjacent to the handheld showerhead. The fixed showerhead, although not removable like the handheld showerhead, can be positioned in a plurality of positions relative to the handheld showerhead. Such positions include, for example, above the handheld showerhead, or to the left or right of the handheld showerhead, or at positions intermediate the foregoing. The location of the handheld showerhead is fixed and the handheld showerhead can be selectively removed from its mount and used in conventional fashion.

An extension rod installation structure having a shower head holder is disclosed. The extension rod installation structure includes a water outlet joint, a pipe joint, and an extension rod. The water outlet joint has an inlet end, a first outlet end connected to a hand-held shower head, and a second outlet end. The pipe joint has an inlet connecting end, an outlet connecting connected to an overhead shower head, and an installation connecting end. The second outlet end is hermetically connected to the inlet connecting end of the pipe joint. The extension rod is provided with a shower head holder. A top end of the extension rod is rotatably, hermetically connected to the installation connecting end of the pipe joint.

A water delivery system includes a mixing valve operable for delivering a water flow of adjustable temperature from a water source to a dispensing device downstream from the mixing valve; a thermochromic thermal indicator, fluidly coupled between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, that provides a visible indication of the water flow having achieved a predetermined temperature; and a diverter valve, fluidly coupled between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, and operable to direct the water flow selectively either to the dispensing device or back to the water source. The thermal indicator may be a thermochromic PVC conduit, or it may be a fitting having an inlet, an outlet, a thermochromic PVC element therebetween, and a barrier located between the inlet and the outlet so as to define a flow path that includes an interior surface of the thermochromic element.

A combined shower with a gravity switch mechanism includes a wall-fixed shower, a handheld shower and a water diversion component, the water diversion component includes a water inlet, two water outlets respectively connected to the wall-fixed shower and handheld shower, and a switching component which is used to switch the waterway communication between the water inlet and two water outlets. The shower also includes a gravity switch mechanism and an attachment portion. The attachment portion interacts with the switching component to drive the activation of the switching component to trigger the switch to make the handheld shower activate or remain static relative to the position of the wall-fixed shower.

The disclosure relates to a device that saves water, energy, and money and may record the savings with a software analytics dashboard. The device allows cold water to flow out when the shower is first turned on and slows or shuts water flow once the water is heated and the shower is unoccupied. After the presence of the user is detected, the shower flow may resume.

A shower system includes an inlet configured to receive water from a supply conduit and a plurality of spout outlets configured to discharge water from the shower system. A diverter is configured to receive water from the inlet and deliver water to the plurality of spout outlets, and the diverter is actuatable to change a water discharge mode of the plurality of spout outlets. A valve is configured to receive water from the inlet, and the valve is actuatable to a first position and a second position. A diverter actuator is configured to receive water from the valve in the second position. The diverter actuator is actuatable from an unactuated position to an actuated position upon receiving water from the valve, and the diverter actuator thereby actuates the diverter to change the water discharge mode of the plurality of spout outlets.

A shower assembly includes an inlet port, a reservoir, and a plurality of drop outlet ports. The inlet port is configured to receive a flow of water from a water source. The reservoir is configured to receive the flow of water from the inlet port. Each drop outlet port of the plurality of drop outlet ports includes an inlet, an outlet, and a bore extending therebetween. The shower assembly is configured such that, even when the reservoir receives the flow of water at a maximum inlet flow rate, the drop outlet ports only produce discrete water drops. A first plurality of the drop outlet ports is configured to produce only discrete water drops having a first size and a second plurality of the drop outlet ports is configured to produce only discrete water drops having a second size that is greater than the first size.

A system is provided for heat recovery from shower greywater. An outlet for greywater is connected to a heat exchanger's inlet for greywater and the heat exchanger is designed so that a cold supply water flows in the opposite direction through the heat exchanger relative to the relatively hot greywater, so that heat exchange works under a counterflow principle and heat energy is transferred from the hot greywater to the cold supply water. A manifold having a nozzle outlet for hot supply water is connected to a waste pipe so that the manifold nozzle outlet for hot supply water opens into the waste pipe at a position downstream of the waste pipe inlet for greywater but upstream of the waste pipe outlet for greywater.
