Claims13
A drain device for an electrical conduit system comprising:
- a tubular member with a pre-determined length having a through bore with a continuous diameter;
- a first coupling section disposed on a first end of the tubular member;
- a second coupling section disposed on an opposing second end of the tubular member;
- a tool engaging unitary member surrounding the tubular member;
- the tool engaging member having a three-dimensional solid structure external surfaces configured to cooperatively engage with a tool that is used to install the tubular member between opposing pipe members within the electrical conduit system;
- coupling sections attached to opposing distal ends of the tubular member;
- an aperture perpendicularly aligned with the throughbore and extending linearly downward from the throughbore through the tool engaging member wherein a passageway is formed;
- the aperture being disposed within a lowest gravity point within the electrical conduit facing downward toward the ground allowing condensation to escape from the electrical conduit system;
- and
- the throughbore providing a fluid path into the passageway for the condensation to flow through the aperture.
