Wash basin drain
The embodiments disclosed herein provide an adjustable wash basin drain wherein a fitting angle of the contact surfaces between the wash basin and the drain can be adjusted to achieve a better seal between the wash basin and the drain. The wash basin drain may include a split-type drain flange that includes an upper connector seat, a lower connector seat, and a flange connector. The upper connector seat is configured to snap fit to an upper end of a water discharge hole of the wash basin. The lower connector seat is connected to a water discharge pipe, and may be disposed beyond a bottom end of the wash basin. The flange connector connects the upper connector seat with the lower connector seat.

Non-metallic liquid-tight conduit connector
A connector for a flexible non-metallic conduit is provided. The connector may include a gland nut for receiving the conduit, and a gland ring within the gland nut. The gland ring may be sized to extend around the conduit. The connector may further include a body threadably secured to the gland nut, and a ferrule disposed within the body, wherein the ferrule includes a first keying feature coupled to a second keying feature of the body to cause rotation therebetween, and wherein the ferrule is inserted partially into the conduit. In some embodiments, the gland nut is not directly physically coupled to the conduit, so the gland nut may slide over the conduit towards/away from the body. In some embodiments, during assembly, the body and the gland nut may be rotated together to cause external threading of the ferrule to engage an inner wall of the conduit.
