Abstract
A drain trap adaptor adapted to allow draining of a drain trap and retrieval of a material. The drain trap includes a first drain pipe having an entry portion and an exit portion, a second drain pipe extending from the exit portion and a bore disposed substantially at the exit portion. The drain trap adaptor includes a ball valve having an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein the inlet end is adapted to connect to the bore; and a container adapted to connect to the outlet end of the ball valve. The container is configured to receive the drainage trapped in the drain trap and the material at the bore upon opening of the ball valve such that the drain trap can be drained and the material can be retrieved.

A drain trap adaptor adapted to allow draining of a drain trap and said drain trap adaptor and retrieval of a material trapped within the drain trap, wherein the drain trap having a first drain pipe having an entry portion and an exit portion and a second drain pipe extending from the exit portion of the first drain pipe and a bore disposed substantially at the exit portion of the first drain pipe and the first drain pipe and the second drain pipe collectively traps a first volumetric size of drainage, said drain trap adaptor comprising:
- (a) a valve having an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein said inlet end of said valve is adapted to connect to the bore;
- and
- (b) a container having a second volumetric size, said container is adapted to connect to the outlet end of said valve,
- wherein said container is configured to selectively receive the drainage and the material trapped within the drain trap and upon opening of said valve, the drainage can be collected and the material can be retrieved when said container is removed from said valve.
A drain trap adaptor adapted to allow draining of a drain trap and said drain trap adaptor and retrieval of a material trapped within the drain trap, wherein the drain trap having a first drain pipe having an entry portion and an exit portion and a second drain pipe extending from the exit portion of the first drain pipe and a bore disposed substantially at the exit portion of the first drain pipe, said drain trap adaptor comprising:
- (a) a valve having an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein said inlet end of said valve is adapted to connect to the bore;
- and
- (b) a flexible hose having a first end and a second end, said flexible hose is adapted to connect to the outlet end of said valve at said first end of said flexible hose,
- wherein said flexible hose is configured to be capable of being directed to a container for selectively receiving the drainage and the material trapped within the drain trap and upon opening of said valve, the drainage can be collected and the material can be retrieved.
A drain trap adaptor adapted to allow draining of a drain trap and said drain trap adaptor and retrieval of a material trapped within the drain trap, wherein the drain trap having a first drain pipe having an entry portion and an exit portion and a second drain pipe extending from the exit portion of the first drain pipe and a bore disposed substantially at the exit portion of the first drain pipe, said drain trap adaptor comprising:
- (a) a collector having an inlet end, an outlet end and a heel interposed between said inlet end of said collector and said outlet end of said collector;
- and
- (b) a valve having an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein said inlet end of said valve is adapted to said outlet end of said collector,
- wherein said heel of said collector is configured to be disposed at a location that is higher that said outlet end of said valve and said collector is configured to receive a drainage trapped in the drain trap and the material and upon opening of said valve, the drainage can be drained and the material can be retrieved.
