For use with a drain gutter and water supply assembly of the type which is adapted to be positioned along the periphery of a swimming pool, with an inner gutter wall over which contaminated water is allowed to spill continuously into the gutter from the surface of the pool, and with a filtered water supply manifold contained in the gutter, an adjustable inlet fitting assembly for directing filtered water from the supply manifold through the inner gutter wall into the pool. The fitting assembly includes a flanged male member adapted to extend through an opening in the gutter wall, a flanged female member received on the male member and adapted to cooperate therewith in gripping the gutter wall therebetween, and a locking member in threaded engagement with the male member for retaining the male and female members in the aforesaid cooperative relationship. The fitting assembly further includes a flexible pipe or the like connected at opposite ends respectively to the supply manifold and the male member.
For use with a drain gutter and water supply assembly of the type which is adapted to be positioned along the periphery of a swimming pool, with an inner gutter wall over which contaminated water is received into the gutter from the surface of the pool, and with a filtered water supply manifold contained in the gutter, the improvement comprising:
For use with a drain gutter and water supply assembly of the type which is adapted to be positioned along the periphery of a swimming pool, the said assembly including an inner gutter wall having an upper lip over which contaminated water is received into the gutter from the surface of the pool, and a filtered water supply manifold contained in the gutter, and adjustable inlet fitting assembly for directing filtered water from the supply manifold through an opening in the gutter wall into the pool, said inlet fitting assembly comprising:
An inlet fitting for use at an opening in the submerged portion of a wall surrounding a swimming pool, said fitting comprising an elongated tubular male member having an external flange at one end thereof which is adapted to surround said opening and to contact the exterior surface of said wall, the axis of said tubular male member being arranged at an angle relative to the plane containing said external flange, the said male member being adapted to protrude through said opening;
