Abstract: A coupling system for plumbing applications including stub-ups in a poured slab. The coupling system includes a coupler and a cap. The coupler provides a glue-hub that is couplable to a stub-up. An opposite end of the coupler is enclosed by a knock-out disc that seals the end of the stub-up for pressure testing. A second glue-hub is provided beneath the knock-out disc. The cap includes a cap plate enclosing a top end thereof and is height adjustable on the coupler. A thermal expansion gap between the slab and the stub-up is provided by a sleeve positionable around the cap. The cap plate and the knock-out disc are “knocked out” to enable connection with the plumbing system and are sized to resist falling into the stub-up. An air purging valve may be installed in the coupler for pressure testing prior to removing the knock-out discs in the cap and coupler.

Abstract: A water closet carrier assembly is used for supporting a wall-mounted toilet and flow connecting the wall-mounted toilet to a waste drain line. The water closet carrier assembly includes a faceplate having a front face with a drain opening that sealingly joins to a distal end of a closet carrier nipple. A second distal end of the closet carrier nipple sealingly joins to a wall-mounted toilet. The faceplate is adjustably joined to an anchoring system that replaces traditional systems connected to the drain body fitting. Opposingly directed from the front face of the faceplate, a rear face aligns and sealingly joins the drain opening to an ovate inlet of a drain body fitting molded from plastic. The drain body fitting sealingly joins and directs effluent to the waste drain line.

Abstract: A linear drain system that is configurable and adaptable on-site. The system includes an outlet section that is coupleable to a drain line of an existing plumbing system. The outlet section includes a pair of engagement flanges to which elongate channels are coupleable. The channels are easily cut to desired lengths on-site using hand tools or common power tools. Endcaps are coupled to terminal ends of the channels to form a trough. A strainer or a tile-ready strainer is provided for insertion into the trough. The strainer/tile-ready strainer are easily cut to length on-site as needed. A construction cover is provided that is disposable into the trough alone or overlying the strainer/tile-ready strainer to resist entrance of debris into the trough. The outlet section and channels include a longitudinal V-shaped canal.

Abstract: A test plug for a shower drain includes a threaded portion having external threads sized to be received in an threaded aperture of a drain. An extension extends downwardly from the threaded portion to a cylindrical sealing portion which is connected to the extension below the threaded portion. The sealing portion includes an elastomeric sealing ring extending circumferentially around the sealing portion. The test plug further includes a pair of alignment tabs which extending radially outward from the test plug above the elastomeric sealing ring.
