Bain Marie
"Bei Bedarf kann die Abflussverschraubung (1“) ist über einen Geruchsverschluss (nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten) an einen bauseitigen Abfluss anzuschließen. Verwenden Sie in diesem Fall hitzebeständige Bauteile."
Talking about fitting a Bain Marie on a food counter worktop. Any ideas on what an Abflußverschraubung might be? I found Ablaßverschraubung in Laixicon, for which "drain plug" was suggested, and wonder whether this Abflußverschraubung might be a synonym of that. But I really don't know what it is. Hopefully somone here does. TIA for your help.

[basin] drain fitting
I think your hunch is correct, but it's the fitting that a plug is pushed into.

waste
This is the normal term in the UK, and the optional bit underneath is the trap (to stop smells/odours coming back up from the sewer)
