A drain stopper assembly that can be simply pushed into and pulled out of a drain pipe includes an open-close mechanism, a cap, a drain seal, and a means for engaging the open-close mechanism with the drain pipe and preferably also includes a strainer. The means includes a wheel-shaped disc that rests on crossbars in the drain pipe and has an annular seal about its perimeter; a ball-and-spring detent mechanism for attaching the drain stopper to crossbars; and a magnet attached to the open-close mechanism, preferably with a ferrous adapter for the drain pipe. The open-close mechanism is a push mechanism, a lift-and-lock mechanism or a lift-and-turn mechanism.

A drain installation assembly includes a drain body and a drain coupling. The drain coupling is configured to be inserted into a drain opening of a wash basin from a top side of the wash basin. The drain coupling comprises a first coupling end and a second coupling end, the second coupling end positioned opposite to the first coupling end. The drain coupling further includes a squeeze portion positioned between the first coupling end and the second coupling end, the squeeze portion formed of a flexible material. The drain body comprises a body flange extending radially away from the drain body. The squeeze portion is configured to deform, so as to define a squeeze bulge when the drain coupling is coupled to the drain body, the squeeze bulge having a diameter greater than a diameter of the drain opening of the wash basin.

A stopper assembly for a drain system of a fluid basin is provided. The stopper head assembly includes a stopper head having a seal to sealingly engage the drain system of the fluid basin when the stopper assembly is moved from a drain position to a plug position and a strainer to strain fluid passing through the drain system when the stopper head is in a drain position. The stopper head assembly further includes a stopper body operably coupleable to a control element to move the assembly between the drain position and the plug position. The stopper body may be detachably coupled to the stopper head and/or the strainer to enable selective removal of the stopper head and the strainer from the stopper body when the stopper body is installed for use and coupled to the control element. Related methods, systems and components are also provided.

A drain plug device is provided with a plug lid, a mounting member inserted in an overflow port, an operation handle provided corresponding to an opening of the mounting member at one end thereof so as to protrude from a surface of a sidewall, a transmission member configured to transmit a driving force generated by a pivoting operation of the operation handle to the plug lid side, and a handle moving mechanism capable of moving the operation handle. The handle moving mechanism is configured to make an amount of protrusion of the operation handle with respect to the surface of the sidewall when the drain port is open smaller than an amount of protrusion of the operation handle with respect to the surface of the sidewall when the drain port is closed. Whereby a good draining efficiency at the overflow port side is secured when draining is performed therethrough.

The sink drain stopper assembly includes a pipe member, an annular member, a sealing unit, a fixing nut, and a valve unit. The pipe member has a body portion, a first external thread formed on the body portion, a second external thread spaced apart from the first external thread along a central axis, and a side hole disposed under the second external thread. The body portion and the first and second external threads are molded as one piece. The annular member is coupled threadedly to the first external thread. The fixing nut is coupled threadedly to the second external thread. The valve unit includes a valve member and a pivot rod. Movement of the valve member along the central axis is driven by pivot movement of the pivot rod.

A device used to conceal at least a portion of a wastewater strainer associated with a bathtub. More specifically, a plate having an opening therethrough is used to overlap a flange of the wastewater strainer wherein the opening in the plate generally coincides with an opening in the wastewater strainer so that the bathtub drain is unobstructed. The plate may include a downwardly extending lip to help facilitate orientation onto the flange of the wastewater strainer. The plate conceals the wastewater strainer, thereby facilitating reconfiguration of a bathtub as the existing wastewater strainer need not be removed and the plumbing system retested.
