Drainage device for above-ground pool and above-ground pool

A drainage device for an above-ground pool, and an above-ground pool including the drainage device are provided. The drainage device includes a drainage pipe, with inlet and outlet ends, and a drainage valve connected to the inlet end of the drainage pipe. The drainage valve includes a water inlet periphery, defining a water inlet in fluid communication with the inlet end of the drainage pipe, and a connecting member disposed circumferentially around the water inlet periphery. The connecting member is radially spaced apart from the water inlet periphery. The connecting member may be formed by injection molding around the water inlet periphery.

Sanitary appliance drain connector

A drain connector (10) is configured to be installed with a sanitary appliance (100) from bottom-up. The drain connector (10) includes a main body (12) connectable at a first end to an inlet end of a waste pipe system or trap. A hollow stalk member (14) is received at least partially within the main body (12). The hollow stalk member (14) is arranged to extend and retract relative to the main body (12) via a second end of the main body (12). The drain connector (10) includes at least one sealing element (24) defining an interference and active sealing fit between the main body (12) and the hollow stalk member (14). The hollow stalk member (14) is configured to slide relative to the main body (12) thereby extending the height of the drain connector (10) and thereby facilitating connection of an exposed end of the hollow stalk member (14) to an outlet of the sanitary appliance (100), wherein the end of the hollow stalk member (14) is retrievable and extendable from the main body (12) via the outlet of the sanitary appliance.

Plumbing connector, assembly and associated methods

A connector includes a seat portion and a body portion. The seat portion includes a seat having a first curved surface. The body portion includes a curved body having a second curved surface. A nut portion is screwed to the seat portion, with a flexible portion and washer disposed therebetween. To connect the seat portion and the body portion, the curved body can be inserted through an opening of the nut portion, and the flexible portion and washer. The flexible portion may resist, but not stop, the curved body from being moved therethrough. The curved body may be seated within the seat and configured such that angular and/or rotational adaptation of the seat portion relative to the body portion is permitted. The nut portion can be adjusted to compress the flexible portion such that the curved body is retained in the vicinity of the seat, while still permitting angular and/or rotational adaptation of the seat portion relative to the body portion.

Adjustable drain assembly

An adjustable drain assembly is disclosed. The adjustable drain assembly may have a main drain body with a series of springable flanges and extension calibration elements. Other components of the adjustable drain assembly may provide fluid conduits from various drains, such as of a bath tub, and may connect to the main drain body. These other components may be insertable into the springable flanges and may have extension calibration elements interlockable with the extension calibration elements of the main body. A collet may be disposable about the springable flanges and configured to retain the extension calibration elements in fixed interlocking relation. In this manner, the other components may be adjustably positioned in lengthwise relation relative to the main drain body, then secured in position by the fixation of the extension calibration elements in fixed interlocking relation.
