A connector for use with a disposable flexible liner installed in a basin to contact liquid is provided to bridge between an overflow opening provided in the liner and an overflow aperture provided in an upright wall of the basin, so that when liquid containable in an interior volume of the basin exceeds a prescribed height, the liquid is enabled to drain out of the interior volume through the liner at the communicated openings/apertures. A conduit formed by the connector for insertion into the basin to bridge between the communicated openings/apertures is arranged for a friction fit in an overflow throat extending from the overflow aperture defined in the basin. A related method for using a replaceable liner in a basin having an overflow aperture is also disclosed.

A drain cover and drain cover system are disclosed. The drain cover includes a flange portion that rests on a bottom of a body designed for use with running water, such as a bathtub or shower. The drain cover overlays a drain on the body to prevent water from going down the drain until the water exceeds a predetermined height in the body. Further, the drain cover does not require fasteners to maintain it in place, instead relying upon hydrostatic pressure applied to the drain cover by the water and friction between the drain cover and the body.

An adaptor for connecting a cover to an overflow pipe includes an H-shaped body which is installed in an end portion of the overflow pipe. The lengthwise length of the adaptor is not longer than the outer diameter of the end portion of the overflow pipe. The adaptor includes a first connection portion formed to the center of the adaptor, and two second connection portions respectively formed to two ends of the adaptor. Two lateral sides are formed to two sides of the adaptor. The cover includes a notch communicating with the end portion of the overflow pipe. Multiple protrusions extend from the inner bottom of the cover. The protrusions are engaged with the two lateral sides of the adaptor to connect the cover to the adaptor. Bolt(s) extend through first or second connection portions of the adaptor and are connected to the end section of the overflow pipe.

An overflow assembly including an overflow cap and a locking ring is described that allows liquid (e.g., water) being received or collected in a plumbing fixture (e.g., a bathtub) to flow into an overflow pipe in an effective, aesthetically pleasing manner using components that are easier to install than some conventional solutions. The locking ring has a threaded inner surface that is designed to be threaded onto an externally threaded end of the overflow pipe that is extended through a wall of the plumbing fixture to secure the overflow pipe with respect to the wall. The overflow cap may then be pressed onto the externally threaded end of the overflow pipe, such that it engages the externally threaded end via engagement tabs. The overflow cap can be removed from the end of the overflow pipe by rotating the cap to unthread it from the threaded end of the overflow pipe.

A handheld sink sprayer with single-handed metering and discharge mode adjustment. A body includes a handle portion, and a nozzle portion extending from the handle portion. A metering valve is carried in the body, a finger-engageable actuator is carried by the body and is coupled to the metering valve to move the metering valve, and a nozzle is carried by the body nozzle portion. A discharge mode valve is carried by the body nozzle portion. A thumb-engageable actuator is carried by the body nozzle portion and is coupled to the discharge mode valve to move the discharge mode valve between different discharge modes of operation.
