Overflow

An overflow device for a sanitary appliance such as a bathtub, the overflow device comprising:

• a body;
• and
• a pipe arrangement in fluid communication with the body, the pipe arrangement defining an overflow flowpath;
• the body including:
• a body inlet located through a top of the body and being configured to be connected to an outlet of the sanitary appliance;
• a body outlet located through a side of the body and positioned proximate the top of the body and being configured to be connected to a soil stack;
• a separator positioned within the body and located between the body inlet and the body outlet, such that the separator creates a drainage flowpath between the body inlet and the body outlet, wherein the arrangement of the separator relative to the body inlet and the body outlet and the position of the body outlet relative to the top and bottom of the body, is such that, in use, a water seal is created within a lower portion of the body, wherein the water seal has a depth or height defined by the distance between the bottom of the body and a lowest part of the body outlet;
• and
• wherein the overflow flowpath between the body inlet and the body outlet, is such that, in use, at least a portion of the overflow flowpath is beneath the water seal.
