The second portion includes a flange and having a central passageway therein. The second portion connects with the hollow inner cavity. The third portion includes a protrusion having first and second sides and extending from the second portion. The third portion also includes a transverse hole extending from the first side to the second side and connects with the central passageway.
Claims18
A drain for draining fluid and providing an exchange of air flow, the drain comprising:
- a main body member having first, second and third portions;
- the first portion having a threaded outer surface and a hollow inner cavity with first and second open opposite ends and at least one of the first and second open opposite ends extending from the hollow inner cavity to the threaded outer surface;
- the second portion having a flange and having a central passageway therein, the second portion connecting with the hollow inner cavity;
- and
- the third portion including a substantially spherically dome-shaped protrusion having first and second sides and extending from the second portion, the third portion having a transverse hole extending from the first side to the second side and connects with the central passageway, the transverse hole configured to draining fluid and providing air flow to and from the drain.
