Abstract
A catch basin system includes an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing defines an upper region of a first conduit and an upper region of a second conduit. The first and second conduits are aligned along a first axis. The lower housing is removably secured to the upper housing. The lower housing defines a lower region of the of the first conduit, a lower region of the second conduit, a third conduit disposed below the first conduit, a fourth conduit disposed below the second conduit, and a sump disposed between the third and fourth conduits and below the third and fourth conduits. The third and fourth conduits are aligned along a second axis. The first, second, third, and fourth conduits are each in fluid communication with sump.
Claims20
A catch basin system comprising:
- an upper housing defining (i) an upper region of a first conduit and (ii) an upper region of a second conduit, wherein the first and second conduits are aligned along a first axis;
- and
- a lower housing removably secured to the upper housing and defining (i) a lower region of the of the first conduit, (ii) a lower region of the second conduit, (iii) a third conduit disposed below the first conduit, (iv) a fourth conduit disposed below the second conduit, and (v) a sump disposed between the third and fourth conduits and below the third and fourth conduits, wherein the (a) the third and fourth conduits are aligned along a second axis and (b) the first, second, third, and fourth conduits are each in fluid communication with the sump.
A catch basin comprising:
- a housing defining,
- an internal cavity configured to catch debris therein,
- first and second conduit sections (i) extending laterally outward from the housing along an upper end of the housing, (ii) open along the upper end of the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity and cavity, and
- first and second conduits (i) extending laterally outward from the housing, (ii) disposed between the first and second conduit sections and a bottom end of the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity;
- and
- one or more ledges protruding outward from the upper end of the housing, wherein (i) the one or more ledges define recesses and (ii) the recesses are configured to receive a bottom edge of a second housing to locate the second housing relative to the housing.
A catch basin comprising:
- a housing (i) having upper and lower ends, (ii) defining an internal cavity configured to catch debris therein, (iii) having one or more ledges protruding outward from the upper end, wherein (a) the one or more ledges define recesses and (b) the recesses are configured to receive a bottom edge of a second housing to locate the second housing relative to the housing;
- first and second pipes (i) disposed between the upper and lower ends of the housing, (ii) extending laterally outward from the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity;
- and
- first and second pipe sections (i) disposed above the first and second pipes, (ii) extending laterally outward from the housing along the upper end of the housing, (iii) open along the upper end of the housing, and (iv) in fluid communication with the internal cavity.
A catch basin comprising:
- a housing defining,
- an internal cavity configured to catch debris therein, and
- first and second conduit sections (i) extending laterally outward from the housing along an upper end of the housing, (ii) open along the upper end of the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity, wherein the first and second conduit sections comprise half-pipes;
- and
- one or more ledges protruding outward from the upper end of the housing, wherein (i) the one or more ledges define recesses and (ii) the recesses are configured to receive a bottom edge of a second housing to locate the second housing relative to the housing.
A catch basin comprising:
- a housing defining,
- an internal cavity configured to catch debris therein, and
- first and second conduit sections (i) extending laterally outward from the housing along an upper end of the housing, (ii) open along the upper end of the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity;
- and
- one or more ledges protruding outward from the upper end of the housing, wherein (i) the one or more ledges define recesses and (ii) the recesses are configured to receive a bottom edge of a second housing to locate the second housing relative to the housing, and wherein the housing and the second housing are configured to engage each other via snapping features.
