Abstract

A drain fitting for pre-formed or pre-assembled showers, etc. requiring drainage, having a flanged and internally threaded base connector for the reception of 3 or 4 inch solvent welded drain pipes and which is adapted to have a threaded or bolted connection with a depending strainer barrel having a peripheral flange for engagement with the shower, etc. receptor, the two units clamping a receptor membrane or washers on each edge surface of the receptor opening, and there being recessed channels or slots formed in the strainer barrel threads or clamping ring flange to drain off any leakage or seepage.

Claims

1. A drain fitting for connecting the drainage opening or receptor of shower stalls, etc. with a drain pipe comprising, in combination, a base connector having a lower shouldered portion to be mounted on the upper end of a drain pipe closely adjacent the receptor and a flanged, upper portion;

a drainage barrel having a peripheral flange insertable into said upper portion;

a drainage plate mounted on said barrel;

means connecting said base connector and said barrel so as to force the flanges thereof into sealing engagement with the edges of the receptor;

said connecting means comprising relatively rotatable mating threaded portions; and

vertical slots formed in one of said threaded portions to provide secondary drainage means to the drain pipe.

2. A drain fitting for connecting the drainage opening or receptor of shower stalls, etc. with a drain pipe comprising, in combination, a base connector having a lower shouldered portion to be mounted on the upper end of a drain pipe closely adjacent the receptor and a flanged, upper portion;

a drainage barrel having a peripheral flange insertable into said upper portion;

a drainage plate mounted on said barrel; and

means connecting said base connector and said barrel so as to force the flanges thereof into sealing engagement with the edges of the receptor;

said connecting means comprising headed bolts mounted in said base connector, and a flanged clamping ring having interior, barrel-receiving threads and bolt-receiving openings therein for clamping the flange of said ring to said connector.

3. The combination recited in claim 2 wherein radial channels are formed in the bottom of said clamping ring flange to provide secondary drainage means to the drain pipe.

4. The combination recited in claim 2 wherein the upper surface of said base connector is provided with a circular groove and said lower face of said clamping ring is provided with a depending circular rib for clamping a waterproof membrane therebetween.
