Abstract: A universal drain adapter comprising: a ring and a neck having a common substantially centrally disposed threaded hole; the ring having a plurality of holes and at least one other hole, each hole of the plurality of holes comprising a substantially centrally disposed portion, a first substantially rabbit ear portion, and a second substantially rabbit ear portion opposing the first substantially rabbit ear portion, the at least one other hole having another of the substantially centrally disposed portions, a substantially mouse ear portion, the other first substantially rabbit ear portion opposing the substantially mouse ear portion, the substantially centrally disposed portions tangentially directed about a first tangent line concentric with the ring, the first substantially rabbit ear portions tangentially directed about a second tangent line, the second substantially rabbit ear portions tangentially directed about a third tangent line, the substantially mouse ear portion tangentially directed about the firs

Abstract: A wall mount provides the normal hose connection for attachment of the hose of a hand-held spray head while integrating a backflow preventer in an aesthetically pleasing unit. The wall mount preferably uses two spring-biased check valves with an integral air inlet and check valve to form redundant backflow prevention as well as an active vacuum breaker which substitutes ambient air for dirty water in the case of vacuum build-up. The wall mount includes a seal and locking technique which permits exact set-up of the orientation and wall fit of the unit with simple tools. An alternate embodiment of the wall mount also integrates the hook which holds the handle of the hand-held spray head.

Abstract: A slide valve faucet handle operates when a user arcuately pushes or pulls the handle back and forth in one arcuate axis. A knob atop the slide valve is pushed away from the user in an arcuate fashion to increase flow or pulled toward the user to reduce or shut off flow. The slide valve includes an escutcheon/valve housing at the bottom with a manually graspable knob at the top attached to a movable cover member. The cover member, which is basically hemispherical, has a section removed at an angle to permit the movable cover to advance forward over the escutcheon/valve housing. With the knob in the upright position, the valve is closed. With the knob tilted fully back in a position of use, the slide valve is in the full open position. Intermediate positions regulate flow in a continuous linear manner as expected. There is no spring return, so the slide valve remains open where adjusted along the arcuate axis.
