In one embodiment, the first two-way connector has a first connecting opening and a second connecting opening to connect with connecting pipes. The first two-way connector also has a top opening to align with the first draining hole of the bathtub. In a further embodiment, the fast draining system may include a second two-way connector to expedite the water draining process. The second two-way connector also has a first connecting opening, a second connecting opening to connect with the connecting pipes, and a top opening to align with a second water draining hole. Each of the water draining holes has a cover to retain the water in the bathtub.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fast draining system for a walk-in bathtub comprising at least one two-way connector, at least one water draining hole of a bathtub, and a plurality of connecting pipes, wherein a first two-way connector has a first connecting opening and a second connecting opening to connect with connecting pipes, and a top opening to align with a first draining hole of the bathtub corresponding to the first two-way connector, and the water draining hole has a cover attached thereon, wherein when the cover is lifted to start the water draining process, the water starts to drain through the two-way connector and the connecting pipes to a water outlet in a bathroom, regardless of where the water outlet is located without reverse plumbing. 
     
     
         2 . The fast draining system for a walk-in bathtub of  claim 1 , further comprising a second two-way connector that has a first connecting opening, a second connecting opening to connect with the connecting pipes, and a top opening to align with a second water draining hole. 
     
     
         3 . The fast draining system for a walk-in bathtub of  claim 1 , wherein a cap is disposed at one of the connecting openings that is on an opposite side of the water outlet in the bathroom to prevent water leaking. 
     
     
         4 . The fast draining system for a walk-in bathtub of  claim 1 , wherein the two-way connector has a venting pipe to vent the bubbles. 
     
     
         5 . The fast draining system for a walk-in bathtub of  claim 1 , further comprising an overflow hole on the bathtub to control a water level therein to avoid excessive water in the bathtub.
