Bath Plug Waste Holes,sizes and diameters?

08/18/2007 12:03 PM

Could anyone tell me the diameter of bath wastes in Australia and in the USA.I have produced a patented device which fits UK baths wastes (70% plus on most baths) enabling the water to be siphoned out of the bath and re-used.I wondered whether the sizes abroad were in common with the UK sizes.Indeed are there any wastes which are the same as the UK?

I understand that there are problems associated with the legality of recycling of grey water in the states does anyone know which states allow and which do not (bath water only).

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Martin

See Post by Guest at:

Lavatory, shower, and laundry water may be acceptable. Sewage and all drain water goes to Waste Water Control,

Most bathtubs and sinks in the US have a mechanical 'plug' operated by an external rod; the 'plug' is not easily removed as it has to be twisted out of a loop on the base of the part.

As an aside, what is known as a lavatory in the US is a small sink; in the UK it's a toilet!

US Colonists call a UK toilet a Commode and it is located in a 'Bath Room" regardless of whether there is a shower or bath tub present or not. Very annoying when it is more properly termed a Toilet, or a place for general cleanliness.
