Abstract
A bathtub drain connector (BDC) is for connecting a bathtub drain to a drain pipe. The BDC has a piston pipe (PP) slidably received in a body pipe (BP). The PP has an inlet for connecting to the bathtub drain. The BP has a flange for attaching to the floor, and an outlet for discharging drain water. The PP has a first seal retaining groove for retaining a first seal configured to form a watertight seal between the PP and the BP, and a second seal retaining groove between the first seal retaining groove and the PP inlet for retaining a second seal configured to form a watertight seal between the PP and the BP when the PP is shortened by removing a section thereof. A seal is retained in the first and/or second seal retaining groove. Also, a cap for closing the BP inlet, and sealing the PP inlet when pressure testing the bathtub drain connector installation.
