Abstract
A drain trap assembly comprises an upper housing and an access fitting removably attached thereto. The upper housing includes a main body defining an open bottom end, an inlet pipe extending through the main body in a vertical direction and exiting through the open bottom end, and an outlet pipe extending from an annular sidewall of the main body. The access fitting is removably attached to the main body for selectively covering the open bottom end and defines a fluid reservoir in communication with the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe.
Claims23
A drain trap assembly, comprising:
- an upper housing, including:
- a main body defining an open bottom end, an annular sidewall, and a top wall, the annular sidewall of the main body extending from the top wall to the open bottom end and defining an at least partially cylindrical body having a constant diameter along its length;
- an inlet pipe extending vertically upward from, and is integrally formed with the top wall of the main body and having a constant inner and outer diameter over its length, extending through the main body in a vertical direction and exiting through the open bottom end;
- an outlet pipe having a constant inner and outer diameter between a first end of the outlet pipe and a second end of the outlet pipe, extending from the annular sidewall of the main body, the outer diameter of the inlet pipe is less than the inner diameter of the outlet pipe;
- an access fitting removably attached to the main body and covering the open bottom end, the access fitting defining a fluid reservoir in unrestricted communication with the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe.
