Abstract: A plastic molded laundry interface box serving as a connection junction box between plumbing connections in a wall and a washing machine is integrally provided with features including hinged mounting brackets, reversible mounting positions for connection to downward or upward extending water pipes, preformed holes for adaption to multiple mounting postures having removable insert plugs in nonused holes, and cover plate structure permitting adjustment for various thickness walls. These features are coordinated to permit installation in the least amount of time without special tools and to facilitate storage in limited space while conforming to various locations of inwall plumbing pipes of different sizes. The preferred embodiment is a one piece integral plastic box with plastic springs attaching the hinged brackets thereto.

Abstract: A flush cut handsaw has a generally planar handle oriented in a plane perpendicular to and parallel to the saw blade axis, or saw tooth edge, and on one side of the blade so that the saw may be manually used in a conventional sawing mode with the saw blade riding on and parallel with the floor surface. The saw is particularly useful in cutting off plastic plumbing pipes flush with the floor surface and in other circumstances where a smooth, even cut without slant or skew is required.

Abstract: Plastic plumbing joint assemblies of a universal nature are made available by this invention to provide with a single coupling unit construction a variety of different functions including clean-out access, pipe end dust covers or vents, drain assemblies, threaded pipe to plastic couplings, flush floor or wall mount, snap-in friction fit or permanent solvent welded installation, etc. The integral plastic plumbing coupling joint unit has an internally threaded barrel assembly and outside smooth cylindrical surface mating inside a plastic pipe. If flush fit thereon, a thin rim circumferential flange fits on a floor surface with a flush removable center closure plug for flush mount on a wall. A lower skirt below the threaded barrel presenting a smooth cylindrical inner surface can receive a plastic pipe internally. A thin cover plate or drain plate can be held on by one screw for flush floor mount.

Abstract: A ringlike shaped resuable gasket of rubberlike material such as polyvinyl chloride capable of returning to its original shape for sealing the joint between a drainage pipe and a toilet bowl seals the toilet bowl horn at a central aperture sealing portion shaped to flexibly engage the horn to replace conventionally used wax sealing rings and the like. It may be installed in hot or cold weather conditions and resued when the toilet bowl is removed and replaced. A thin web portion integrally extending from the central sealing portion mates between the mounting flange surface and toilet bowl to supplement the central sealing surface, and preferably has offset tapered concentric ridges on both sides. A downwardly extending outer rim engages the flange for holding in place frictionally. Mating bolt apertures smaller than the bolts hold the bolts in place fully extended for mounting the toilet bowl.

Abstract: A toilet connection, coupling, gasket sealing device which is designed in one or more pieces to provide a combination of uses in completing the connection of a toilet outlet to the sewer drain pipe to prevent odors from escaping from the connection.

Abstract: An improved plumbing fitting for coupling a water closet to a building surface and to the drain waste pipe which eliminates the need for cutting off the waste pipe beneath the floor level.

Abstract: A cap for vent stack pipes of a plurality of sizes which is provided with practical connector means to prevent vandelism or removal of the cap.

Abstract: A urinal mounting flange of plastic or any suitable material having urinal supporting bolts which may be leveled in arcuate slots having a predetermined spacing after the welding material in the connection with a drain pipe has set.

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.

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.

Abstract: A plastic economical connection between toilet bowls and unaligned drain pipes which eliminates the conventional time consuming and relatively costly brazing or leading step required of the installing plumber, and which connection will readily fit the 3 or 4 inch diameter plastic pipes currently used by plumbers.
