A bath water capacity increasing apparatus includes a waterproof plate, a lower overflow opening, at least one upper overflow opening, a left tub attachment hole, and a right tub attachment hole. The lower overflow opening concentrically traverses through the waterproof plate. The left tub attachment hole and the right tub attachment hole are positioned opposite of each other about the lower overflow opening. The left tub attachment hole traverses through the waterproof plate. The right tub attachment hole traverses through the waterproof plate. The lower overflow opening, the left tub attachment hole, and the right tub attachment hole are linearly aligned with each other. The at least one upper overflow opening is positioned atop the lower overflow opening, the left tub attachment hole, and the right tub attachment hole. The at least one upper overflow opening traverses through the waterproof plate.

A self-sealing drain vent cover that allows for a vacuum to be created within piping of a plumbing fixture for unclogging purposes. The vent cover includes a outer cover and a seal insert. The outer cover includes a first tubular body and a first disk top to yield a closed off structure to support the seal insert. The first disk top is terminally and perimetrically connected to the first tubular body. The seal insert adheres to a surface around an overflow port to enclose said port. The seal insert includes a second tubular body, a second disk top, and an annular self-sealing mechanism. The second disk top is terminally and perimetrically connected to the second tubular body. The seal insert is mounted within the outer cover. The self-sealing mechanism is positioned adjacent to a bottom end of the second tubular body and is concentrically mounted to the second tubular body.

A connector for use with a disposable flexible liner installed in a basin to contact liquid is provided to bridge between an overflow opening provided in the liner and an overflow aperture provided in an upright wall of the basin, so that when liquid containable in an interior volume of the basin exceeds a prescribed height, the liquid is enabled to drain out of the interior volume through the liner at the communicated openings/apertures. A conduit formed by the connector for insertion into the basin to bridge between the communicated openings/apertures is arranged for a friction fit in an overflow throat extending from the overflow aperture defined in the basin. A related method for using a replaceable liner in a basin having an overflow aperture is also disclosed.

An overflow assembly including an overflow cap and a locking ring is described that allows liquid (e.g., water) being received or collected in a plumbing fixture (e.g., a bathtub) to flow into an overflow pipe in an effective, aesthetically pleasing manner using components that are easier to install than some conventional solutions. The locking ring has a threaded inner surface that is designed to be threaded onto an externally threaded end of the overflow pipe that is extended through a wall of the plumbing fixture to secure the overflow pipe with respect to the wall. The overflow cap may then be pressed onto the externally threaded end of the overflow pipe, such that it engages the externally threaded end via engagement tabs. The overflow cap can be removed from the end of the overflow pipe by rotating the cap to unthread it from the threaded end of the overflow pipe.

An overflow assembly for a bathtub includes an elbow having a first threaded section and a retainer nut having a second corresponding threaded section. The retainer nut is configured to threadably mount onto the elbow. The overflow assembly further includes an overflow cover including at least one overflow opening and at least one vent opening defined therein. The overflow cover is configured to engage with the retainer nut and substantially cover the first threaded section and the retainer nut.

A sink strainer assembly for attachment to a clamping ring of a sink waste valve assembly comprising a strainer sized to fit within and be attachable to the clamping ring by a locking bar attachable to the clamping ring and at least one or more screws affixing the strainer to the locking bar, the improvement to which comprises (a) the strainer comprising a cylindrical body having top and bottom surfaces provided with passageways extending from the top surface and extending through the bottom surface to permit fluids to pass through the strainer, a channel cut in the bottom surface and having a post cavity of greater depth than the channel, a screw passageway extending from the bottom of the post cavity through the top surface of the strainer body; (b) the locking bar comprising an elongated slat member having a width greater than the depth of the channel and a length sized to fit in the channel, the slat having a post member sized to fit into the post cavity, the post member having an axial passageway formed by a threaded interior wall and positioned on the slat member to be aligned to the screw passageway when the locking bar is positioned in the channel, the slat having its opposing end sections forming a shoulder extendable beneath the clamping ring lower rim when the strainer is positioned in the clamping ring; and (c) a screw sized and shaped to fit into the screw passageway and be operatively engaged with the threaded interior wall of the post member.
