An accelerated drain system for a walk-in bathtub with a water outlet in a side wall communicates water to a diverter valve biased to circulate the water in the bathtub and movable selectively to communicate water through a reverse check valve to a drain, the reverse check valve biased closed to prevent water flow and movable selectively to allow water flow to the drain, with a controller configured for moving the diverter valve selectively from the second position to the closed position for subsequent use of the walk-in bathtub. A method of rapid draining of a walk-in bathtub is disclosed.

A drain assembly for a faucet includes a lift rod configured to be carried by the faucet and actuated relative to the faucet. A lever arm is configured to actuate a drain plug. A coupling device includes a first coupling portion coupled to the lift rod, a second coupling portion coupled to the lever arm, and a living hinge coupling the first coupling portion to the second coupling portion. The living hinge facilitates actuation of the lever arm and the drain plug upon actuation of the lift rod.

This disclosure relates to drains in bathing environments. A drain fitting device can have a motor to actuate a cam to maneuver a drain stopper, enabling the flow of fluid through a drain inlet of a bathing environment. The drain fitting device can provide a motorized or actuated method for a user to quickly and reliably open a drain stopper of a bathing environment.

The present disclosure discloses a drain assembly, has a downpipe and a sealing plug; the upper end opening of the downpipe is provided with a connecting pipe seat by integral molding and the upper end opening of the connecting pipe seat serves as a sewer outlet; the downpipe and the connecting pipe seat internally share a connector that can move upward or downward; the upper end part of the connector is linked with the sealing plug; the pipe wall of the downpipe is integrally provided with a guide seat at the position corresponding to the lower end part of the connector; the guide seat is communicated with interior of the downpipe. Furthermore, the stay wire component is elastically clamped on the downpipe through a wave spring, therefore, the installation speed is increased and the sealing effect of the connection is ensured.

A drain stopper apparatus is disclosed and configured for being installed within a drain hole of a fixture, for preventing any buildup of hair or other materials within an associated drainpipe of the fixture. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides a stopper body sized and shaped for being positioned within the drain hole of the fixture, in contact with an inner surface of a basin of the fixture. A stopper tailpiece is engaged with a bottom of the stopper body. A stopper is positioned within the stopper body and configured for selectively moving between one of an open position and a closed position. A drive coupler interconnects a lower end of the stopper tailpiece with an upper end of the drainpipe, the drive coupler providing a drive mechanism positioned and configured for selectively actuating the stopper between the open and closed positions.

A wastewater drain assembly is provided that includes a selectively openable drain stopper. The wastewater drain assembly is interconnected to a fluid basin wherein a flange, which is interconnected to wastewater plumbing, is situated within the sink. The flange receives an insert that has a portion that conceals the flange.

A faucet assembly includes a housing which includes a first faceplate defining a first and second opening which extend through the first faceplate and spaced apart and a seal member on the first faceplate which surrounds the first and second openings. A cartridge assembly positioned within an opening in the housing which includes a second faceplate, which abuts the seal member and forms a seal between the second faceplate and the seal member. Second faceplate defines third opening which extends through the second faceplate. With rotation of the second faceplate, third opening changes position relative to first faceplate to include the third opening positioned in one of: alignment with a portion of first opening and a portion of second opening, alignment with the first opening or alignment with the second opening.

The wastewater drain assembly is interconnected to a fluid basin wherein a flange, which is interconnected to wastewater plumbing, is situated within the sink. The flange receives an insert that has a portion that conceals the flange.

Drain valve assembly for a basin includes a drain having a sidewall, which defines a first opening in fluid communication with the basin and with a first portion of the drain. Sidewall includes wall formation positioned within the drain which extends across the first opening separating the first portion of the drain from a second portion of the drain. First portion of the wall formation extends in a first direction away from the basin and defines an outlet opening which extends through the first portion. Plug member is aligned with the outlet opening and movable from a first position with the plug member abutting the first portion and closing the outlet opening and to a second position wherein the plug member is positioned spaced apart from first portion placing the outlet opening in an open position providing fluid communication between the first portion and the second portion of the drain.
