Abstract: A unique seal cap is used for pressure testing waste and drain pipes prior to the wax free installation of a toilet. The disclosed seal cap artfully fits over a toilet flange without interfering with the subsequent configuration and wax free installation of a toilet. The seal cup system also stores new caps that are uniquely threaded to avoid dangerous and unsightly screws or protruding traditional screw caps. The disclosed screw cap systems provide a first or inner cap having centrally disposed inner threads to secure a toilet to a flange. The first or inner caps also have outwardly facing threads at the outer circumference, enabling the attachment of outer caps that are more bulbous than the caps of the prior art, with the disclosed outer caps being safer, having a less pointed protrusion.

Abstract: A new floating nipple assembly 200 comprises: a set of floating nipples 210 or threaded adapter sleeves, the floating nipples having inner voids and exteriors of outer male threads 214; a seal body 100 comprising ear assemblies 110 defining ear voids 220, the ear voids having inner female threads 222; closet bolts 230 inserted through a soil pipe flange 300, the closet bolts inserted through the ear voids 220, nipples 210 and a toilet base 410; and integrated cap nuts 500 placed over the toilet base 410 and frictionally attached to the ends of the closet bolts 230. Disclosed embodiments provide for wax free installation of toilets in either new construction or in retrofit projects. The floating nipple assemble system allows a plumber to effortlessly adjust the height of the seal body by merely rotating the floating nipples within the ear voids of the seal body.

Abstract: A wax free pop-up seal 450 may be integrated with a spring 200 or other resilient component to connect a toilet to an existing soil pipe flange 325. A pop-up seal system 100 provides toolless, nondestructive and seamless height adjustment and comports with both smaller and larger diameter soil pipe flanges. For retro fit installations, a pop-up seal may comprise extended fins 471 for use with larger diameter soil pipe flanges and for use with smaller diameter soil pipe flanges, the extended fins may be removed. For new construction a new soil pipe flange is provided and a customized pop-up seal 600 comprises a seal system well suited for the new soil pipe flange. The pop-up seals may operate with or without springs or other external flexible components.

Abstract: A wax free toilet installation kit allows plumbers to approach new construction and old closet flanges with one economical and efficient set of parts that will work with both three and four inch soil pipes. A new threaded adapter sleeve 100 fits into both three and four inch traditional closet flanges to retrofit old wax system installations. The threaded adapter sleeve has a threaded body 110 to accommodate a variety of height adjustment nuts, which include a compact adjustment nut 125 and a lip and valley expanded adjustment nut 128. A new male female pipe coupler 200 may be used in new construction and comports with both three and four inch soil pipes. The threaded adapter sleeve 100 fits into the male female pipe coupler 200. The threaded adapter sleeve is quickly adjusted to accommodate varying floor heights.

Abstract: A drain stopper assembly for selectively opening and closing a drain located within a basin, tub or sink, the drain having an opening within said basin, tub or sink for facilitating the selective passage of water there through and past its drain collar and drain body. A stopper is provided being selectively sealable on said drain collar allowing selective passage of water. The stopper is mechanically positioned within the drain body by a scooper end in mechanical communication with a lifting rod being actable from a position exterior to the drain body for selective raising and lowering of the scooper end wherein lowering the scooper end causes the stopper to seat upon the drain collar and raising the scooper causes the stopper to separate from the drain collar.

Abstract: An offset grid drain closure assembly including a drain strainer disposed in the drain hole of a basin, a vertically movable stopper member disposed beneath the strainer and having structure complementary to the opening or openings in the strainer, and a gasket disposed immediately underneath the strainer member and having a matching opening pattern. The stopper is operably connected to an actuation device such that when actuated, the stopper is lowered downwardly from the gasket underneath the strainer or raised to approximate the gasket so as to close the strainer. The drain closure thus provides fluid tight closure of a drain with no elevated surfaces in the bottom of the fluid containing basin, either when closed or when opened.

Abstract: A drain stopper assembly for selectively opening and closing a drain located within a basin, tub or sink, the drain having an opening within said basin, tub or sink for facilitating the selective passage of water therethrough and passed its drain collar and drain body. A stopper is provided being selectively sealable on said drain collar allowing selective passage of water, bellows positioned within the drain body, an air supply in communication with the bellows being actuatable from a position exterior to the drain body for selective expansion and contraction of the bellows wherein an expansion of the bellows causes the stopper to separate from the drain collar and contraction of the bellows causes the stopper to seat upon the drain collar.

Abstract: A unitary removable barrier for installation in a cylindrical water line to selectively block the water line to passage of water therethrough. The unitary removable barrier is composed of a single piece rubber body having at least one cylindrical section sized to receive upstream and downstream pipes of the water line. A unitary rubber planar disc molded with the cylindrical section is of a circular circumference and which completely blocks the water line but which is selectively removable from the cylindrical section thus removing the barrier to the passage of the waste through the line.

Abstract: A device for facilitating measuring and cutting conduit. The device includes two end plates sized and configured for receiving conduit while being provided with a surface for resisting rotation of the conduit as it resides upon and is supported by the end plates. A planar ruled member is attached to and supports both of the end plates preferably at a distance so that the device can be supported by the circumference of a standard five gallon bucket.

Abstract: A template for use in the installation of water faucets and spouts adjacent to a sink or tub upon a plywood support. The plywood, acting as a support for mortar and tile, is opened to the approximate dimension of the template upon which suitable valve and faucets stems are appended and fixedly attached.
