Shower drain and protective cover
Shower drain assemblies and their components are disclosed. In examples, a shower drain assembly may include a receptor, a threaded flange, an optional hair strainer, a plate, and a protective cover. The receptor may include an upper portion and a lower portion. A portion of a threaded flange is receivable into the upper portion. An internal diameter of the lower portion may be less than any internal diameter of the threaded portion. A membrane may be coupled to an interior cavity of the threaded flange for pressure testing the drain assembly. The threaded flange may also include a tab to facilitate coupling of the threaded flange to the receptor and/or securing of a hair strainer inside the interior cavity of the threaded flange. A top surface of the threaded flange may include an inset to facilitate removal of a plate. The protective cover may protect the plate from damage.
Solid waste interceptor for a drain
A solid waste interceptor for a drain includes a tank for collecting waste water therein, the tank having a waste water inlet and a waste water outlet, a tray housing a strainer basket being slidably mounted within the tank, in the manner of a drawer, to be moved between a closed position in which the strainer basket receives waste water from the waste water inlet, and an open position in which the tray extends from the tank to provide access to the strainer basket to facilitate emptying of collected solid waste therefrom. The tray is provided with a drain outlet for delivering waste water passing through the strainer basket into a sump of the tank, and the drain outlet spigot is adapted to abut a front wall of the tank when the tray is in its open position to delimit the open position of the tray.

Sink drain device
An improved sink drain device that includes a main sink drain member, upper and lower gaskets, a threaded ring and a plurality of pressure bolts. The sink drain is funnel shaped and has an outwardly extending flange at its top-most surface and has external threads on its outer surface. The threaded ring has internal threads that engage the external threads of the sink drain member. The threaded ring also has threaded apertures. The upper gasket is located between the sink drain flange and the top surface of the floor of a sink. The lower gasket is located between the lower surface of the sink and the rigid pressure ring. The pressure bolts thread into the apertures of the threaded ring causing the flange of the main sink drain member to be forced downward to form a water-tight seal with the floor of the sink base.

Popup Drain Stopper With Debris Trap and Popup Drain Stopper Assembly Having The Same
The present disclosure relates to popup drain stopper and popup drain stopper assemblies. The popup drain stopper includes a debris trap having a plurality of bristle arranged to trap debris flowing into a drainpipe in which the stopper is positioned. Popup drain stopper assemblies include the popup drain stopper with the debris trap and the ability to remove the drain stopper from the drainpipe without disassembly. The stopper includes a cylindrical shaped bristle body having the bristles and which is removable from the stopper assembly.
Power Tool Adapter For A Drain Cleaning Device
A power tool adapter for a drain cleaning device is disclosed herein. The power tool adapter includes an adapter body having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the proximal end portion of the adapter body being oppositely disposed relative to the distal end portion of the adapter body. The distal end portion of the adapter body is configured to be coupled to a drain cleaning device having a plurality of hook elements disposed thereon, the plurality of hook elements configured to grab and collect debris from a drain pipe; and the proximal end portion of the adapter body is configured to be coupled to a rotary motion input device that is sufficient to rotate the plurality of hook elements of the drain cleaning device about a rotational axis so as to grab and collect the debris from the drain pipe.

SHOWER DRAIN AND PROTECTIVE COVER
Shower drain assemblies and their components are disclosed. In examples, a shower drain assembly may include a receptor, a threaded flange, a plate, and a protective cover. The protective cover may protect the plate, the threaded flange, or other components from damage. The protective cover may be installed directly onto the threaded flange or onto the plate when the plate is installed onto the threaded flange. The same protective cover can thus be used to protect shower drain assemblies at different stages of installation—whether or not trim pieces such as the plate have yet been installed.
