Abstract
Disclosed herein are fluid deflection devices and methods for deflecting fluid from a fluid distributor outlet. The fluid deflection device includes a body forming an enclosure, the enclosure having a first end and a second end, a first opening formed in the first end of the enclosure, a second opening formed in the second end of the enclosure, and the first opening configured to be placed around a fluid distributor outlet. The method for deflecting a fluid includes the steps of: placing a fluid deflecting device around a fluid distributor outlet; and latching the fluid deflecting device to the outlet of the fluid distribution system.
Claims20
A device for deflecting water, the device comprising:
- a body forming an enclosure, the enclosure having a first end and a second end;
- a first opening formed in the first end of the enclosure;
- a second opening formed in the second end of the enclosure;
- and
- the first opening configured to be placed around an outlet of a spigot and an attachment coupled to the outlet of the spigot, wherein the device deflects water that sprays outward at the outlet of the spigot.
A method for deflecting water from a spigot, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing a fluid deflecting device around an outlet of the spigot, wherein one of a vacuum breaker and a backflow preventer is coupled to the outlet of the spigot, and the vacuum breaker or the backflow preventer is at least partially enclosed by the fluid deflecting device;
- and
- latching the fluid deflecting device to the outlet of the spigot.
