20150308090 | AIR ADMITTANCE VALVE - An air admittance valve which when subjected to a negative pressure condition vents a pipe system to an ambient environment. Generally, the air admittance valve includes a housing, a cartridge, and a sealing member. The housing includes one or more vents disposed in its wall and may be engaged with the pipe system at one end. The cartridge may have one or more inlets defining one or more inlet openings, where the one or more inlets is connected to a central chamber that has an opening with a sealing structure. The sealing member interacts with the sealing structure of the cartridge to allow one-way airflow from the central chamber to the pipe system. The cartridge and sealing member may be inserted into the housing such that the one or more inlet openings substantially align with the one or more vents in the housing. | 10-29-2015 |
20150197923 | PLUMBING OUTLET BOX WITH INTEGRATED MOUNTING FEATURES - Plumbing outlet boxes, such as for connecting washing machines, ice makers, and other plumbed appliances to plumbing systems, are provided that can be attached to each other without the use of separate connectors or mounting brackets. In particular, plumbing outlet boxes are described that include receiving features and mounting tabs extending outwardly from the side walls. The receiving features and mounting tabs are arranged such that the plumbing outlet box has rotational symmetry. In this way, receiving features may be engaged with mounting tabs of an adjacent plumbing outlet box regardless of the relative orientation of the mating plumbing outlet boxes. | 07-16-2015 |
20130267670 | ADHESIVE COMPOSITION FOR BONDING LOW SURFACE ENERGY POLYOLEFIN SUBSTRATES - A two-part acrylic adhesive composition comprising at least one organoborane-amine complex initiator and at least one multifunctional maleimide crosslinker. | 10-10-2013 |
20130261247 | ELASTIC METHACRYLATE COMPOSITIONS - A two-part adhesive composition exhibiting improved elasticity wherein its composition includes one or more acrylate or methacrylate ester monomers, a sulfur bearing compound, preferably a sulfonyl chloride, an amine promoter, preferably, an amine aldehyde reaction product, and a thermoplastic block copolymer component selected from the group consisting of

20130181436 | Sealing and Filling Flange Ring for Injection Joints - An injection joint for a socket and pipe end pipe joint, which includes a socket, a pipe end inserted into the socket with a gap therebetween, and an flange ring capping the socket. Flange rings are disclosed which include an injection port and/or a slit. Injection joints may provide a recess in the pipe OD into which the flange ring is received, the recess functioning to stop travel of the flange ring during injection and widening the gap to facilitate adhesive travel. The split in the ring facilitates mounting the ring into the recess and functions as exit port. | 07-18-2013 |
20130067648 | REPLACEMENT CLOSET FLANGE - The present invention provides a replacement closet flange for installing into an end of a drain pipe having an inner surface and a method of assembling a replacement closet flange. In general, the replacement closet flange includes a main body comprising a substantially cylindrical section and a flange section extending radially outward from and approximately perpendicular to an upper end of the cylindrical section, a flexible seal attached to at least a portion of the cylindrical section proximate a lower end thereof and configured, when the replacement closet flange is installed, to sealingly engage with the inner surface of the drain pipe, and at least one retaining clip attached to a location about an outer periphery of the cylindrical section. The retaining clip includes a retaining tab proximate an end thereof configured, when the replacement closet flange is installed, to fixedly engage with an inner surface of the drain pipe. | 03-21-2013 |
20130020796 | One-Piece Roof Flashing - An integral one-piece roof flashing for preventing moisture from passing between a vent pipe and a roof. The flashing, preferably of plastic, includes a base having an aperture and a laterally-extending planar flange with a raised center portion. An upstanding outer sleeve is joined to the center portion by a flexible corrugated portion of the flashing. A downwardly-depending inner sleeve has a top end joined to the distal end of the outer sleeve, extends into the outer sleeve, and is adapted for receipt into the top end of the vent pipe. The corrugated portion flexes to allow the outer sleeve to be angled up and down the pitch direction of the roof, side to side, and to extend to accommodate different roof pitch angles and vent pipe heights. A scale on the base allows the vent pipe height to be measured to ensure that it is within acceptable limits. | 01-24-2013 |
