Abstract
A primer is disclosed for installation in a floor drain water trap located in a lower position relative to a sink drain and sink water trap. A first fitting is disposed upstream of the floor drain water trap. A second fitting is disposed in the sink drain upstream of the sink water trap. A conduit interconnects the first and second fittings to direct waste water from the sink drain to the floor drain water trap thereby maintaining the water level therein to insure a proper seal in the floor drain water trap. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Claims8
A primer for a first water trap located below a drain receiving waste water, comprising in combination:
- a first fitting connected to the first water trap;
- a second fitting connected to the drain;
- and
- conduit means interconnecting said first and second fitting enabling the waste water received by the drain to be diverted by said conduit means to said first water trap for maintaining a constant water level in the first trap to insure a proper seal therein upon use of the drain.
A primer for a floor drain water trap located in proximity to a sink water trap mounted in an elevated position relative to the floor drain water trap;
- a first fitting disposed in the upstream end of the floor drain water trap;
- a second fitting disposed in the upstream end of the sink water trap;
- and
- conduit means interconnecting said first and second fittings for directing waste water from the sink to the floor drain water trap for maintaining a constant water level therein to insure a proper trap seal in the floor drain water trap upon use of the sink.
A primer for a floor drain water trap located below a sink drain and water trap, comprising in combination:
- a first fitting disposed in the floor of said drain water trap for providing liquid communication to the upstream side of the floor drain water trap;
- a second fitting disposed in the sink drain for providing liquid communication to the upstream side of the sink water trap;
- one of said fittings comprising a boss on the side wall of a P trap located above the normal liquid level thereof;
- said boss having a threaded aperture communicating with the interior of said P trap for receiving a threaded connector;
- and
- conduit means including a threaded connector cooperating with said threaded aperture for interconnecting said first and second fittings for directing the waste water from the sink drain to the floor drain water trap for maintaining a constant water level in the floor drain water trap to insure a proper trap seal therein upon use of the sink.
