Abstract
A condensate drain system has a condensate tube into which flows the condensate from a condensing device such as an air conditioner unit. The condensate then flows through the condensate tube and the tube is connected to a wastewater disposal system. A condensate port is provided in the wastewater disposal system coupling to facilitate the connection of the condensate tube to the wastewater disposal system.
Claims2
A bathtub overflow assembly having a first conduit connectable to an overflow port on a vertical wall of a bathtub and including a second conduit connectable to a waste water drain in a bottom of the bathtub and being connectable to a waste water disposal system, comprising:
- a hollow fitting fluidly connecting the first and second conduits, and
- a third conduit in fluid connection with the hollow fitting and extending upwardly and away therefrom for connection to an air conditioner unit located at an elevation above the bathtub.
A method of draining condensate fluid from an air conditioner at an elevated level on a building having a bathtub with a waste water disposal assembly located at a lower level of the building and connected to a waste water disposal system, comprising:
- connecting a first conduit to an overflow port on a vertical wall of a bathtub;
- connecting a second conduit to a waste water drain in a bottom of the bathtub and being connectable to a waste water disposable system;
- providing a hollow fitting ti fluidly connect the first and second conduits;
- connecting a lower end of a third conduit in fluid connection with the hollow fitting;
- and
- connecting an upper end of the third conduit to an air conditioner unit located above the bathtub.
