Abstract
An adapter system including an adapter having a body defined by a proximal end, a distal end, and a through-hole; wherein the proximal end has external threads on an outer circumference and a smooth inner circumference. The proximal end is integral with the distal end. The distal end is stepped with a step; the step having inserts on an inside peripheral surface and locks. The locks have channels and a smooth outside peripheral surface. The adapter is configured for use in functional conjunction with piping to connect an rv to a wastewater dump.
Claims2
An adapter system comprising:
- an adapter having a body defined by a proximal end;
- a distal end;
- a seal;
- and a through-hole;
- wherein said proximal end comprises external threads on an outer circumference and a smooth inner circumference;
- wherein said proximal end is integral with said distal end;
- wherein said distal end is stepped with a step, said step comprising inserts on an inside peripheral surface and locks, said locks comprising channels and a smooth outside peripheral surface;
- and wherein said adapter is configured for use in functional conjunction with piping to connect an rv to a wastewater dump, wherein said body comprises pvc and wrench grips, wherein said locks run parallel to said body, wherein said locks are arcuate, wherein said locks conform to said outer circumference, wherein said locks alternate between small said locks and large said locks, wherein said small said locks comprise a width equal to that of said large said locks, wherein said small said locks comprise a length less than that of said large said locks, wherein said small said locks are located adjacent said inserts, wherein said small said locks each comprise a stop, and wherein said inserts comprise different size openings from said distal end.
