Abstract: A multifunction tap assembly (18) for dispensing water, includes a tap body with a spout (2) for dispensing water. A valve body (6) has a mixer valve (8) including an inlet for water (20) from a hot water supply (H), an inlet for water (22) from a cold water supply (C), and an outlet. A selector control (14) on the valve body (6) can selectively direct cold water (30, 32) from the cold water supply to one or more water processing stations (34, 38). Each water processing station (34, 38) has an inlet for receiving cold water from the cold water supply as directed by the selector control (14) and processes the cold water to provide a processed water (36, 40) for dispensing from an outlet. A manifold connection (26) provides fluid communication between the outlet of the mixer valve (14) and each processing station outlet and has a manifold outlet in fluid communication with the spout (2).

Abstract: An apparatus for a waterless urinal is described. The apparatus comprises a housing defining a chamber for receiving a consumable de-odorizer, the housing including an access device to permit access to the chamber for allowing replacement of the consumable de-odorizer.

Abstract: A non-return device (10) for use with a waste trap is described. The non-return device comprises a sealing portion (12) having first and second sheet members (14, 16), a device inlet (18), a device outlet (20) and a transition portion (22) providing fluid communication between the device inlet and the sealing portion. The transition portion has a convex section of wall (24).

Abstract: A basket strainer for a sink or bath waste is described. The basket strainer has a bowl-shaped metal body having an edge portion configured to resist deformation, wherein at least a portion of the metal body is less than 1 mm thick.

Abstract: A flexible piping connector 10 includes a flexible elastomeric tubular member 12, with a central annular groove formed around the circumference of the member. Two rigid plastics tubular members 20, 22 engage with the flexible tubular member 12, while inner annular members 28 retain the flexible tubular member 12 in co-operation with the rigid members 20, 22. The rigid members 20, 22 may be connected to sections of piping, while the flexible member 12 allows the assembly to be flexed through a restricted range of angles to allow for construction of piping lengths at non-standard angles, while the connector retains a smooth inner bore.

Abstract: A waste outlet for a plumbing fixture comprises a body adapted to be located in the fixture outlet. The body defines a throughbore, and a portion of the throughbore includes a trough surrounding a flow opening.

Abstract: A waste trap 10 for use in plumbing installations is provided, the trap comprising a unitary metal body 12 defining an interior volume, and having a tubular plastics insert 20 located in an inlet 14 of the body 12 and extending into the volume to below the height of a waste outlet 16. The insert 20 partitions the upper portion of the volume into two regions, and serves to provide a water seal between the inlet 14 and the outlet 16 when the trap is in use. The insert is non-removably secured to the body.

Abstract: A bath waste 10 is described including an overflow head 12 having an inlet, and an outlet portion 16 connectable to a down pipe 18, the head 12 and the outlet 16 being connected by a ball and socket joint 34. The joint 34 is factory-sealable to prevent users accessing the joint. Embodiments of the invention may also include a faucet outlet on the head, and a lever-operated bath plug actuator. The bath waste 10 is preferably produced from brass.

Abstract: A flexible piping connector 10 includes a flexible elastomeric tubular member 12, with a central annular groove formed around the circumference of the member. Two rigid plastics tubular members 20, 22 engage with the flexible tubular member 12, while inner annular members 28 retain the flexible tubular member 12 in co-operation with the rigid members 20, 22. The rigid members 20, 22 may be connected to sections of piping, while the flexible member 12 allows the assembly to be flexed through a restricted range of angles to allow for construction of piping lengths at non-standard angles, while the connector retains a smooth inner bore.
