An adaptor device configured to provide a fluid connection into an interior of a conduit section through an access point opening through a sidewall thickness of the conduit section may include an adaptor conduit structure defining a base conduit extending from an adaptor inlet to a base conduit outlet, a conduit connector configured to couple with the conduit section, and an elbow nozzle defining an elbow conduit extending to an adaptor outlet at a distal end and further configured to expose the elbow conduit at a proximate end to the base conduit to collectively define an adaptor conduit extending between the adaptor inlet and outlet. The elbow nozzle is configured to extend through the access point opening in a first direction into the interior and to further extend to the distal end within the interior in a second direction that is different from the first direction.
An adaptor device configured to establish a fluid connection between a fluid supply source and a conduit section of a conduit through an access point opening into a conduit section interior of the conduit section, the access point opening extending through a sidewall thickness of a conduit section sidewall of the conduit section, the adaptor device comprising:
A method to provide a fluid connection into a conduit section interior of a conduit section of a conduit through a sidewall thickness of a conduit section sidewall of the conduit section, the method comprising:
