DRAIN CONTROL
A lockable plug device (10) for sanitary ware comprises a closure member (20) operable to engage with an outlet or drain of the sanitary ware product to stop water emptying from the sanitary ware product, for example a bath. The lockable plug device (10) also includes a closure mechanism (30), which is linked to the closure member (20) and is operable to displace the closure member (20) relative to the outlet or drain such that the outlet can be open or closed. The closure mechanism (30) comprises a lock feature (60), which is operable to lock the closure member (20) in an open position. The closure mechanism (30) comprises a primary lever (34) and a secondary lever (34), wherein the upper end of the levers (34) engage to control movement of the closure member (20) via the lower end of the secondary lever (34) and wherein the upper ends of the levers (34) are locked against rotational displacement unless a load applied to the closure member (20) exceeds a predetermined applied load, wherein the predetermined applied load is the maximum load created by water exiting through the drain hole to which the device is connected.
