Abstract: A valve trim assembly for use in a shower environment. The valve trim assembly includes an outer covering and a valve assembly. The outer covering includes a first axis disposed through a midpoint of the outer covering. The valve assembly is at least partially disposed within the outer covering and configured to control a flow of fluid. The valve assembly includes a nut coupled to the outer covering, an adapter at least partially disposed within the nut and rotatable about the first axis, and an elongated joint coaxially aligned with the adapter. The nut and the adapter cooperatively define a joint where the adapter rotates within the nut to maintain engagement between the outer covering and a wall.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed towards a clean drain system. The clean drain system includes drain stopper system, a seal, and a flange. The seal is coupled to the flange. The drain stopper system is positioned through the seal. The drain stopper system further includes a drain cover, a drain housing, and a basket. The drain cover along a vertical axis to allow or prevent the flow of water through the tailpipe. The basket includes a plurality of openings. The basket is configured to catch debris as it flows downward through the drain to prevent the drain from clogging. The clean drain system further includes an overflow cover, an overflow tube, and a collar. The collar is positioned around the drain housing. The overflow cover is coupled to the overflow tube. The collar is coupled to another end of the overflow tube.

Abstract: A waterway for a fluid delivery device includes a body, an inlet passage, a continuous header passage, a connector passage, a chamber, and a plurality of ports. The inlet passage is formed in the body and configured to receive a supply of water. The continuous header passage is formed in the body as a loop with elongated side passages. The connector passage is formed in the body and fluidly interconnects the inlet passage and the elongated side passages. The chamber is formed in the body in spaced relation to the elongated side passages. The plurality of ports is formed in the body and extends between the elongated side passages and the chamber.

Abstract: A bathroom modular device includes a base, including a lower surface, configured to be connected to a bathroom fixture and includes a module assembly having a plurality of modules, at least one module configured to be removably connected to the lower surface of the base. A managing system includes a bathroom modular device and a server communicably connected to the modular device. The bathroom modular device includes a base configured to be connected to a bathroom fixture and comprising a lower surface. The bathroom modular device also includes a module assembly comprising a plurality of modules, at least one module configured to be removably connected to a lower surface of the base. A bathroom managing method includes receiving a detection result obtained by a sensor; determining whether the received detection result satisfies at least one condition defined by a predetermined value; and generating a notification to perform corresponding maintenance work.
