Tub drain and overflow assembly

A drain and overflow assembly for a tub or basin having a drain opening and an overflow opening, the assembly comprising a unitary multi-purpose fitting providing an overflow path to a trap and a direct cleanout path having a cleanout inlet end configured to be in direct communication with a cleanout pipe end that is directly attached to a main drainage pipe and thereby create a bypass of the trap, an overflow inlet end to the overflow path and said cleanout inlet end to the cleanout path, the separate overflow and cleanout inlet ends being presented in the overflow opening are dimensioned to connect to a standard tub or basin overflow opening, the unitary multi-purpose fitting being configured and dimensioned to fit the standard tub or basin overflow opening and divide it by presenting the overflow and cleanout inlet ends adjacent each other in the overflow opening, wherein said multi-purpose fitting is configured for receiving one of a plug or a gasket which seals only the cleanout path from the tub or basin at the cleanout inlet end, leaving the overflow path unsealed.

A drain and overflow assembly for a plumbing system having a main drainage pipe and a tub or basin including both a drain opening, a trap between the drain opening and the main drainage pipe, and an overflow opening above the drain opening in fluid communication with the trap, comprising:

• a unitary multi-purpose fitting dimensioned to connect to the overflow opening, the unitary multi-purpose fitting defining adjacent overflow and cleanout inlets, the unitary multi-purpose fitting being configured and dimensioned to fit into and divide the overflow opening, the cleanout inlet defining a cleanout path within the unitary multi-purpose fitting configured to be connected directly to the main drainage pipe and create a bypass of the trap, the overflow inlet defining separate overflow path within the unitary multi-purpose fitting and having an overflow outlet;
• a flexible tube connected to the overflow outlet, the flexible tube being dimensioned and configured to connected to the trap;
• wherein the cleanout inlet is configured for receiving one of a plug or a gasket which seals only the cleanout path, leaving said overflow path unsealed, wherein said unitary multi-purpose fitting is divided throughout its length to define the clean out path and the separate overflow path.
