Plumbing siphon

Abstract

A plumbing siphon for a sanitary ware. The plumbing siphon ( 10 ) comprising a generally S-like shaped tube having an inlet segment ( 16 ) formed with an inlet end ( 18 ) coupleable to the sanitary ware, an outlet segment ( 22 ) formed with an outlet end ( 24 ) coupleable to a sewage main, and an intermediate trap section ( 28 ). The inlet segment and outlet segment extend substantially parallel to one another.

         2 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet segment and outlet segment are coaxial. 
     
     
         3 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet segment and outlet segment extend in one plane. 
     
     
         4 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 3 , wherein the plane is substantially parallel to a rear end of the sanitary ware. 
     
     
         5 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary inlet port fitted between the intermediate trap section and the inlet end. 
     
     
         6 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , further comprising a sealable trap outlet port. 
     
     
         7 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , where the inlet segment and outlet segment extend substantially vertically below the sanitary ware. 
     
     
         8 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate trap section extends below said inlet segment. 
     
     
         9 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate trap section comprises a manually operated fluid propelling unit. 
     
     
         10 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , made of a unitary continuous plastic molded pipe. 
     
     
         11 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 2 , being rotatable about a longitudinal axis common to the inlet segment and outlet segment. 
     
     
         12 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 1 , wherein a flexible outlet pipe extends from the outlet port. 
     
     
         13 . The plumbing siphon according to  claim 1 , wherein intermediate the inlet segment and the intermediate trap section there is provided a strainer section fitted with a service opening. 
     
     
         14 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 13 , wherein the strainer section comprises a removable strainer member accessible through an extension pipe section with the service opening extending substantially upwards. 
     
     
         15 . The plumbing siphon of  claim 14 , wherein the strainer is articulated with a removable cap, such that upon withdrawal of the cap the strainer is removed therewith. 
     
     
         16 . A plumbing system extending from the sanitary ware mounted on a support wall, said system comprising the plumbing siphon of  claim 1 .
