Patent ID: 11692335

Abstract:
A drain connector (10) is configured to be installed with a sanitary appliance (100) from bottom-up. The drain connector (10) includes a main body (12) connectable at a first end to an inlet end of a waste pipe system or trap. A hollow stalk member (14) is received at least partially within the main body (12). The hollow stalk member (14) is arranged to extend and retract relative to the main body (12) via a second end of the main body (12). The drain connector (10) includes at least one sealing element (24) defining an interference and active sealing fit between the main body (12) and the hollow stalk member (14). The hollow stalk member (14) is configured to slide relative to the main body (12) thereby extending the height of the drain connector (10) and thereby facilitating connection of an exposed end of the hollow stalk member (14) to an outlet of the sanitary appliance (100), wherein the end of the hollow stalk member (14) is retrievable and extendable from the main body (12) via the outlet of the sanitary appliance.
