Abstract

An interfitting three part plastic drain assembly for use in the floors of shower baths and various types of drains which has a novel interfitting structure enabling it to be used with different sized pipes and to only use two of the parts where no waterproofing membrane is required.

Claims

1. A drain pipe assembly for the floor of showers, etc. comprising, in combination, an outlet section to be mounted on a system drain pipe;

said outlet section having an upper rim section and upper and lower threaded inner faces of larger and smaller diameters respectively;

a clamping collar having a peripheral rim section for engaging said outlet upper rim section and exterior threads engageable with said larger threaded inner face;

said clamping collar having an inner face with threads axially aligned with said smaller diameter outlet threaded inner face; and

a strainer drain plate supporting barrel having an exterior threaded face engageable with said clamping collar inner threads and with said smaller inner threaded outlet face.

2. The combination recited by claim 1 wherein said engaging rim sections are beveled to clamp a waterproof membrane therebetween without tearing it.

3. The combination recited in claim 1 wherein said clamping collar is provided with a plurality of spaced, vertical weep holes to permit condensation drainage therethrough.

4. The combination reciated in claim 1 wherein the outlet section includes a drain pipe having inner and outer shoulders for mounting on different sizes of system drain pipes.

5. The combination recited in claim 1 wherein said outlet section includes circumferentially spaced, radially projecting ribs to strengthen the same and to prevent rotary movement thereof when installed.

6. A drain pipe assembly for the floor of showers, etc. comprising, in combination, an outlet section to be mounted on a system drain pipe;

said outlet section having an upper rim section and upper and lower threaded inner faces of larger and smaller diameters respectively;

a clamping collar having a peripheral rim section for engaging said outlet upper rim section and exterior threads engageable with said larger threaded inner face;

said clamping collar having an inner face with threads axially aligned with said smaller diameter outlet threaded inner face; and

a strainer drain plate supporting barrel having an exterior threaded face engageable with said clamping collar inner threads.

7. A drain pipe assembly for the floor of showers, etc. comprising, in combination, an outlet section to be mounted on a system drain pipe;

said outlet section having an upper rim section and upper and lower threaded inner faces of larger and smaller diameters respectively;

a clamping collar having a peripheral rim section for engaging said outlet upper rim section and exterior threads engageable with said larger threaded inner face;

said clamping collar having an inner face with threads axially aligned with said smaller diameter outlet threaded inner face; and

a strainer drain plate supporting barrel having an exterior threaded face engageable with said smaller inner threaded outlet face.
