Abstract:
An apparatus for flushing a fluid drain; the apparatus includes a water supply interface, a drain line interface, and a conduit. The water supply interface is configured to hydraulically couple with a water supply, such as a water supply for a kitchen sink. The water supply interface includes a threaded connector for threadably engaging with the water supply. The drain line interface is able to hydraulically couple with a drain line. The drain line interface includes a stepped adapter which is able to couple with one of a selection of drain lines having disparate diameters, so that the system may be used with a variety of sizes of drain lines. The conduit extends between the water supply interface and the drain line interface, hydraulically coupling the two components.

Claim (Index 17):
A plumbing adapter for flushing a fluid drain, the plumbing adapter comprising:\n a water supply interface, the water supply interface configured to hydraulically couple with a water supply, the water supply interface including a threaded connector; a drain line interface, the drain line interface configured to hydraulically couple with one of a plurality of drain lines, the drain line interface including a stepped adapter configured to couple with each of the plurality of drain lines; and a conduit extending between and hydraulically coupling the water supply interface and the drain line interface; and wherein the water supply interface includes a flexible hose having sufficient flexibility to be manually manipulated by a user; wherein the stepped adapter of the drain line interface includes a plurality of internally threaded bores configured to threadably engage at least one of the plurality of drain lines; wherein the conduit further includes at least one threaded adapter configured to threadably couple to the drain line interface, and alternately to the water supply interface; wherein the conduit further includes a right angle elbow between the water supply interface and the drain line interface; wherein the stepped adapter of the drain line interface includes at least a one-and-a-half inch bore and a two-inch bore; wherein the threaded connector of the water supply interface is a one-half inch fitting; and wherein the threaded connector of the water supply interface is internally threaded, being configured to fasten to a male pipe thread.
