Disclosed herein is a structural drain trap for preventing spread of pathogens between floors, which has an improved structure in which it includes a cover and an outer chamber that are easily coupled to and decoupled from each other and provides a drain line configured to have a double structure at inner and outer portions thereof. Therefore, it is possible to prevent pathogens such as Coronavirus as well as odors or pests from flowing backward as much as possible, and thus to prevent pathogens from spreading through the gap between the floors of buildings such as apartments.

A device for axially connecting two pipe elements, including a coupling means with a first coupling means part assignable to a first pipe element, a second coupling means part and an intermediate connecting part arrangeable between the two coupling means parts, wherein a first articulation element formed on the first or second coupling means part is configured to cooperate with a second articulation element formed on the intermediate connecting part, in particular in a positive manner, forming an articulated connection between the first or second coupling means part and the intermediate connecting part, or a second articulation element formed on the first or second coupling means part is configured to cooperate with a first articulation element formed on the intermediate connecting part, forming an articulated connection between the first or second coupling means part and the intermediate connecting part.

A malodor reflux blocking unit using the cardiac valve principle, includes a space providing portion inserted into the drain pipe through the drain hole and configured to provide a drain space for the drainage, blocking portions which are, in a non-draining state, disposed to face each other and configured to block communication between the drain pipe and the drain space due to a water film phenomenon which occurs due to drainage water being present between the blocking portions, and intermediate portions configured to mediate connection between the blocking portions and the space providing portion.

A shower drain assembly including a trough with a tray element with its bottom provided with a drain hole, a covering element for the trough; and elements for association between a structure of the trough and the covering element, which are adapted to define various possible distances of the covering element from the bottom.

The invention pertains to an odor trap, which comprises a first drainage channel situated between an inlet and an outlet, comprising, viewed in the flow direction, a first closing wall for the closing off of an uppermost part of the drainage channel and a second closing wall for the closing off of a lowermost part of the first drainage channel. The first and second closing walls, viewed in a horizontal direction, overlap. The odor trap comprises an elongated main body. The inlet substantially extends over the length of a first planar surface of the main body, which first planar surface is determined by the first closing wall. The second closing wall is situated in the main body. The outlet is situated in a second planar surface, situated opposite the first planar surface. The invention also pertains to a drain body and a drain assembly.

A joint device for drain pipes comprises a structural tube made of a rigid material and providing structural integrity to the joint device. The structural tube defines at least part of a drain passage of the joint device, a bottom portion of the structural tube having diametrical dimensions for complementary sealing engagement with a pipe of a drain network. An annular seal of resilient sealing material is integrally connected to an upper portion of the structural tube to define at least an inner surface of a portion of the drain passage of the joint device, the annular seal having inner diametrical dimensions for sealing engagement with a tailpiece slid downwardly into engagement with the joint device.

A floor drain vapour block apparatus and method for providing a dependable water level in the vapour block to prevent backflow gases or odours from infiltrating into the area above the floor drain. The apparatus is a two-part assembly having an outer reservoir housing and an inner drain catch cylinder forming a water sealing reservoir space for holding or retaining a plumbing code enforced water level to block gases and odours from infiltrating above the floor level in which the assembly is inserted.

A device for axially connecting two pipe elements, including a coupling means with a first coupling means part assignable to a first pipe element, a second coupling means part and an intermediate connecting part arrangeable between the two coupling means parts, wherein a first articulation element formed on the first or second coupling means part is configured to cooperate with a second articulation element formed on the intermediate connecting part, in particular in a positive manner, forming an articulated connection between the first or second coupling means part and the intermediate connecting part, or a second articulation element formed on the first or second coupling means part is configured to cooperate with a first articulation element formed on the intermediate connecting part, forming an articulated connection between the first or second coupling means part and the intermediate connecting part.

An internal trap drain with large volume/high mass water seal for improved absorption of pressure fluctuations and extended duration of seal against evaporation in low-use conditions. Includes adjustable height strainer and water seal-protected weep holes.

A malodor reflux blocking unit using the cardiac valve principle, includes a space providing portion inserted into the drain pipe through the drain hole and configured to provide a drain space for the drainage, blocking portions which are, in a non-draining state, disposed to face each other and configured to block communication between the drain pipe and the drain space due to a water film phenomenon which occurs due to drainage water being present between the blocking portions, and intermediate portions configured to mediate connection between the blocking portions and the space providing portion.
