The present invention relates to a plumbing assembly for connecting a discharge connection of a fixture to a waste outlet, the assembly comprising a substantially rigid conduit trap portion (whether the trap portion forms a part of an S, P, U or J shaped conduit bend). The rigid conduit trap portion including an inlet and an outlet, and a substantially conformable or flexible conduit portion connectable to the rigid conduit trap portion at either of i) the rigid conduit trap inlet, or ii) the rigid conduit trap outlet. The rigid conduit trap portion and conformable or flexible conduit portion when assembled providing for a complete trap assembly.

Plumbing assembly

A clip, for securing a portion of a long thin item such as a cable or pipe, includes a cradle portion for receiving a surface of an item to be secured, a fixing portion with at least one formation extending to be securable to a support, and a flexible member extending from a location at or adjacent an end of the cradle portion. The flexible portion has a free end and formations at or near the free end to engage with other formations fixed in relation to the cradle portion. In use, the cradle portion and the flexible member define an enclosing loop, such that the flexible member may hold an item against the cradle.

Multi-fit clip

A pipe or like support is molded as a unitary item having a region of concertinaing, serpentine, or otherwise longitudinally variable nature between end regions, for example having a longitudinally extensile linking region extending between at least a pair of the end regions the linking region can be of a concertina or serpentine type configuration. The end regions can both have passageways extending there through in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the pipe or like member to be supported.

Pipe support

A clip for securing a portion of a long thin item such as a cable or pipe comprises of a cradle portion for receiving a surface of an item to be secured, a fixing portion with at least one formation extending to be securable to a support, and a flexible member extending from a location at or adjacent an end of the cradle portion. The flexible portion has a free end and formations at or near the free end to engage with other formations fixed in relation to the cradle portion. In use, the cradle portion and the flexible member define an enclosing loop, such that the flexible member may hold an item against the cradle.

An escutcheon or wall flange to receive a pipe, conduit, cable or like member has an outer periphery, and an inner periphery or a definable inner periphery to bear on the intended pipe. The escutcheon or flange is of a flexible material limited as to its flex outwardly of the inner periphery, or definable inner periphery, by a profile feature and/or a thickness increase. The escutcheon may also be of a flexible material limited as to its flex outwardly in the radial direction of the inner periphery by a profile feature of the face to be concealed in use or profile features of the face to be concealed in use. The escutcheon may also include one or more sacrificial or tear away portions for accommodating different sized pipe.
