These rigid bathtub waste pipes are often difficult to install in tight spaces around the bathtub. In addition, these rigid waste pipes must be cut to a suitable length or shortened to a suitable length before being installed in a bathtub. In addition, these rigid waste water pipe assemblies include multiple components, increasing the cost of the assembly and the complexity of the installation. [Prior art] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub waste water pipe assembly including a flexible pipe fitting, wherein the installation system of the bathtub waste water pipe assembly is simplified. Another object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub waste pipe assembly, wherein the bathtub waste pipe assembly does not need to be specially cut to an appropriate length before installation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub waste pipe assembly, Among them, the module can be easily installed in a limited space. These and other objects of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A bathtub waste pipe assembly for discharging fluid from a bathtub, wherein the bathtub has an upper drain port and a lower drain port. The bathtub waste pipe assembly includes a flexible hollow pipe fitting that extends from the upper drain to the lower drain. 200403380 [Embodiment] Referring to the first figure, a conventional bathtub 10 has an upper drain port 12 and a lower drain port 14. The upper drain opening 12 is located at one end 16 of the bathtub 10 for discharging the overflowed fluid from the bathtub 10. The lower drain port 14 is located at the bottom of the bathtub 10, and is used for discharging the overflowed fluid from the bottom of the bathtub 10. A conventional conventional rigid waste water pipe assembly 20 has an upper rigid waste water pipe 22 oriented vertically. The rigid waste water pipe 22 is connected to the upper drainage opening 12 of the bathtub via an upper rigid connector 24. The rigid waste pipe assembly 20 also has a lower rigid waste pipe 26 oriented horizontally. The lower rigid waste water pipe 26 is connected to the lower drain outlet 14 via a lower rigid connector 28. The upper rigid waste water pipe 22 and the lower rigid waste water pipe 26 are connected at a rigid three-way connector 30. The connector 30 receives fluid from the upper drain 12 and the lower drain 14 and directs the fluid to a bottom outlet 32. Reference is now made to the second figure, which illustrates a bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 of the present invention for discharging fluid from a bathtub. The bathtub waste water pipe assembly 40 includes a flexible hollow pipe fitting 42. The flexible hollow pipe 42 is located outside the one end 16 of the bathtub 10 and has a first opening 44, a second opening 46, and a duct extending from the first opening 44 to the second opening 46. 48. The first opening 44 is adapted to communicate with the upper drain 12 in a fluid flow relationship. The flexible pipe member 42 preferably has a non-corrugated inner surface 50. 200403380 The bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 also includes a lower fitting connector 52. The second opening 46 of the flexible pipe member 42 is connected to the lower drain port 14 of the bathtub 10 through the lower pipe connector 52. The lower pipe connector 52 has a first opening 54, a second opening 56, and a third opening 58. The first opening 54 is adapted to be connected to the lower drain port 14 in a fluid communication manner. The second opening 56 receives fluid from the upper drain 12 and the lower drain 14 and directs the fluid to an outlet 32 at the bottom. The first opening 54 and the second opening 56 are located so as to face each other directly. When the first opening U 54 is connected to the lower drainage opening 14 in a fluid communication manner, the second opening 56 is directly located below the lower drainage opening. The third opening 58 is connected to the second opening 46 of the pipe member 42 in fluid communication. The third opening 58 is positioned perpendicular to the first opening 54 and the second opening 56. The bathtub waste water pipe assembly 40 further includes an upper pipe fitting connector 60, which is adapted to be connected to the upper drain 12 in a fluid communication relationship. The upper pipe connector 60 has a first opening 62 and a second opening 64. The first opening 62 is adapted to be connected to the upper drain port 12 in a fluid communication manner. The second opening 64 is adapted to be connected to the first opening 44 of the pipe member 42 in a fluid communication manner. During operation, the bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 can receive fluid from the upper drain 12 (in the case of fluid overflow) or from the lower drain 14 (in the case of normal operation). In the event of a fluid overflow, the fluid from the upper drain 12 will be received by the flexible hollow pipe 42. These fluids then flow along the flexible hollow tube 42 to the 200403380 lower tube connector 52, where the stream system is discharged into the bottom outlet 32. Under normal operating conditions, fluid from the lower drain port 14 is received and enters the lower pipe connector 52, where the flow system is discharged into the bottom outlet 32. The bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 is installed as shown in the second figure. Therefore, it can be seen that the installation of the bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 is simplified due to the flexibility of the bathtub waste pipe assembly 40. The bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 can be bent or extended during installation. This eliminates the need to adjust the bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 by selecting a bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 of a particular length, or the need to cut the bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 to an appropriate size. In addition, this flexibility allows the bathtub waste pipe assembly 40 to be more easily installed in a limited space. Therefore, it can be seen that the present invention accomplishes at least all the above-mentioned objects.
