Trap with Embedded Strainer

Abstract

A trap with embedded strainer includes a water input; an upper vertical section receiving water from the water input; a flexible tailpiece below the upper vertical section, receiving water from the upper vertical section; a J bend below the flexible tailpiece, receiving water from the flexible tailpiece at a J bend water input portion, and discharging water at a J bend water output portion. A J bend flare is sized to fit over a lower vertical section of the flexible tailpiece. A J bend locknut fits over the J bend flare and engages a J bend thread disposed on a J bend top portion so as to bias the lower vertical section of the flexible tailpiece against the J bend top portion. The J bend flare seats to provide a waterproof seal.

1 . A trap with embedded strainer comprising:
 a. a water input;   b. an upper vertical section receiving water from the water input;   c. a flexible tailpiece below the upper vertical section, receiving water from the upper vertical section;   d. a J bend below the flexible tailpiece, receiving water from the flexible tailpiece at a J bend water input portion, and discharging water at a J bend water output portion;   e. a J bend flare sized to fit over a lower vertical section of the flexible tailpiece;   f. a J bend locknut that fits over the J bend flare and engages a J bend thread disposed on a J bend top portion so as to bias the lower vertical section of the flexible tailpiece against the J bend top portion, wherein the J bend flare seats to provide a waterproof seal;   g. an elbow receiving water from the J bend water output portion, wherein the elbow further comprises an elbow water inlet; and   h. a strainer having a washer portion circumferentially bonded around the strainer, wherein the strainer has a plurality of openings, wherein the washer portion is mounted to a J bend water output portion.   
     
     
         2 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 1 , wherein the J bend flare is of compression fitting type such that it has an annular profile made of a separate piece of material. 
     
     
         3 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 1 , further comprising: an elbow flare formed on the elbow water inlet, wherein the washer portion is seated between the elbow flare and the J bend water output portion. 
     
     
         4 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 1 , wherein the washer portion of the strainer is seated on the terminal periphery of an elbow thread such that a water tight seal is formed. 
     
     
         5 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 1 , wherein the J bend locknut is made of PVC. 
     
     
         6 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 1 , wherein the J bend locknut further includes a plurality of protrusions for gripping of the J bend locknut. 
     
     
         7 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 1 , wherein below the J bend locknut, a reduction arises at the J bend reduction, wherein the reduction leads to the main body of the bend, further comprising a terminal reduction after the J bend that leads to an elbow thread which receives an elbow lock nut that is threaded onto the elbow thread. 
     
     
         8 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 1 , wherein six openings are formed on the strainer arranged in a pentagonal orientation. 
     
     
         9 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 1 , wherein: the flexible tailpiece is formed in an accordion configuration to allow extension, bending or moving in an accordion like manner for easy installation of the sink to the drain. 
     
     
         10 . A trap with embedded strainer comprising:
 a. a water input;   b. an upper vertical section receiving water from the water input;   c. a flexible tailpiece below the upper vertical section, receiving water from the upper vertical section;   d. a J bend below the flexible tailpiece, receiving water from the flexible tailpiece at a J bend water input portion, and discharging water at a J bend water output portion;   e. a J bend flare sized to fit over a lower vertical section of the flexible tailpiece;   f. a J bend locknut that fits over the J bend flare and engages a J bend thread disposed on a J bend top portion so as to bias the lower vertical section of the flexible tailpiece against the J bend top portion, wherein the J bend flare seats to provide a waterproof seal;   g. an elbow receiving water from the J bend water output portion, wherein the elbow further comprises an elbow water inlet; and   h. a strainer of generally circular configuration having a washer portion of generally circular configuration circumferentially bonded around the strainer, wherein the strainer has a plurality of openings, wherein the washer portion is mounted to a J bend water output portion; and an elbow flare formed on the elbow water inlet, wherein the washer portion is seated between the elbow flare and the J bend water output portion.   
     
     
         11 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 10 , wherein the J bend flare is of compression fitting type such that it has an annular profile made of a separate piece of material. 
     
     
         12 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 10 , wherein the washer portion of the strainer is seated on the terminal periphery of an elbow thread such that a water tight seal is formed. 
     
     
         13 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 10 , wherein the J bend locknut is made of PVC. 
     
     
         14 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 10 , wherein the J bend locknut further includes a plurality of protrusions for gripping of the J bend locknut. 
     
     
         15 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 10 , wherein below the J bend locknut, a reduction arises at the J bend reduction, wherein the reduction leads to the main body of the bend, further comprising a terminal reduction after the J bend that leads to an elbow thread which receives an elbow lock nut that is threaded onto the elbow thread. 
     
     
         16 . The trap with embedded strainer of  claim 10 , wherein six openings are formed on the strainer arranged in a pentagonal orientation.
