Abstract
The present invention relates to a bypass device for bypassing a sewer where it exits a building. The device comprises a pass through pipe having one or more compression rings which expand under compression to seal the hollow pipe in place in a pipe exiting to a sewer.
Claims13
A sewer bypass device for use in a sewer pipe opening of a first inner diameter comprising:
- a) a hollow pipe having a first end for positioning upstream in the sewer pipe opening and a second end, the first end having an outer diameter smaller than the sewer pipe first inner diameter;
- b) at least two compression plates designed to be positioned on the hollow pipe outer diameter each plate having an outer diameter smaller than the first inner diameter;
- c) at least one compression ring wherein each ring is positioned on the outer diameter of the hollow pipe, in-between two compression plates, and having an uncompressed outer diameter smaller that the sewer pipe's first inner diameter but which has an outer diameter larger than the sewer pipe's first inner diameter when compressed between the two compression plates;
- d) a compression collar for compressing the compression plates;
- and
- e) a sewer flow diverter attachment collar for attaching a sewer flow diverter pipe in fluid communication with the second end of the hollow pipe.

A method of diverting the flow exiting a sewer pipe opening of a first inner diameter comprising:
- a) selecting a hollow pipe having a first and second end and the first end having an outer diameter less than the first inner diameter wherein there is at least one compression ring having an outer diameter less than the first inner diameter fitted on the hollow pipe outer diameter;
- b) positioning the first end of the hollow pipe in the sewer pipe opening sufficient that the at least one compression ring is also positioned in the sewer pipe;
- c) compressing the at least one compression ring such that the compression ring expands to form a seal between the compression ring and the first inner diameter;
- and
- d) attaching a diverter pipe to the hollow pipe second end.
