Abstract
A reducing tee that includes a main portion extending from a first end to a second end with an intermediate portion disposed between the first end and the second end. A main passageway extends from the first end to the second end, and a branch extends outwards from the intermediate portion containing a passageway in fluid communication with the main passageway. A water trap having a hollow body with a first open end, a second open end, an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a linear passageway extends between the first open end and the second open end disposed within the reducing tee.
Claims14
A water trap, comprising:
- a hollow body with a first open end, a second open end, an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a linear passageway extending between the first open end and the second open end, an inside diameter of the first open end and the second open end is greater than the inside diameter at a middle portion of the hollow body;
- an opening having a geometric shape extending between the exterior surface and the interior surface;
- and
- a rib extending along the exterior surface with a top portion and two opposed side portions, wherein the interior surface of the top portion and interior surfaces of the two opposed side portions collectively form a channel within the interior surface of the hollow body.
A water trap, comprising:
- a hollow body with a first open end, a second open end, an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a linear passageway extending between the first open end and the second open end;
- an opening within the hollow body comprising a first end, a second end, and a central portion disposed between the first end and the second end, the first end extends outwardly from the central portion and contains a first portion and a second portion that are spaced apart and disposed at the first open end, the second end extends outwardly from the central portion and contains a first portion, a second portion, and an end portion, wherein the first portion and the second portion are spaced-apart and the end portion, having a arcuate shape, spans between an end of the first portion to an end of the second portion;
- and
- a rib extending along the exterior surface with a top portion and two opposed side portions, wherein the interior surface of the top portion and interior surfaces of the two opposed side portions collectively form a channel within the interior surface of the hollow body.
A reducing tee, comprising:
- a main portion that extends from a first end to a second end with an intermediate portion disposed between the first end and the second end, a main passageway extends from the first end to the second end;
- a branch extends outwards from the intermediate portion containing a branch passageway in fluid communication with the main passageway;
- and
- a water trap having a hollow body with a first open end, a second open end, an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a linear passageway extending between the first open end and the second open end disposed within the reducing tee, an inside diameter of the first open end and the second open end is greater than the inside diameter at a middle portion of the hollow body.
