The crane was damaged when the construction plan was about to end. In addition, the pipe fittings used for the water outlet must be inspected before the inspection process is completed. The test involves flowing water through the drain, the outlet 'until it reaches a height above the bathtub, and the tester then decides if any plumbing leaks occur. So 'At the beginning of the test operation, a plug system was placed in the beta drain of the bath rainbow' and a sealing plate was placed at the end of the bathtub above the overflow outlet . The existing overflow plate has a central opening σ therein. There are two or four small screw holes in the plate adjacent to the central opening, two of which are used to hold the plate to the piping fixture. In some cases, an accessory is present so that the screw aperture is seated directly at the towelwell of the access aperture. In this state of the towel, the hole U was made available for use in the test program at 7G per day. In any case, the test procedure usually involves filling a pouch into a tube in the wall via a large central opening and the I-piece is sealed when the pouch is inflated. Furthermore, existing sealing panels must generally be removed when decorative panels are installed. The decorative plate is typically held by two screws, which use the plate's screw opening or an opening outside the two 1224659 in the case where four holes are provided. Some efforts have been implemented to seal the overflow port of the bathtub via a diaphragm and then cut the diaphragm when testing is complete (see U.S. Patent No. 5,890,241). However, the use of a system including a diaphragm sometimes involves screws and tools, and is not always easy to install and remove after testing. [Content] Therefore, one of the main objects of the present invention is to provide a bath overflow The seal of the port port is very easy to be anxious for testing purposes and is easily made to be an operator for overflow purposes when the test is completed. A still further object of the present invention is to provide a sealing member for a bathtub overflow port, which is very economical in manufacturing. These and other purposes will be understood by those skilled in the art. -A temporary closing mechanism for a bath red overflow port π, comprising: a solid cover placed on the outer end of a discharge pipe extending through the overflow port, which is screwed To the outer end, and on its inner side: with or without a sealing member;-with a lateral surface corpus callosum, with a perforation on the lateral surface through a sealing barrier Covered, or a solid plug, screwed into the threaded interior of the outer end of the discharge pipe. The temporary closing mechanism of the mouth is an expandable non-threaded plug. It is also disclosed that a bathtub overflow port includes a 1224659 plug extending through one of the overflow port, which can be expanded during the test of the water system. In order to seal the overflow port, the system can be moved to a non-expanded state after the test has been completed for easy removal from the port.
