A whirlpool jet for bathtubs having a water outlet extending through a circular opening in the bathtub wall and threadedly connected to a housing. The outlet has an annular radial flange abutting against the inside of the bathtub wall. The flange has a pair of diametrically spaced openings for use in rotating the water outlet in mounting the jet on a bathtub by using a circular wrench having a pair of pins which fit within the openings. The periphery of the wrench has knurling for manually rotating the wrench and a square central opening for receiving the square head of a driving tool. A jet outlet control which is rotatably mounted within the outlet has a concave area surrounding the inner end of a water passage in all rotational positions of the control, so that the water flow into the passage is constant. An extension for poured concrete installations is adapted to protrude beyond the edge of the concrete, the protruding portion being discardable.
A whirlpool jet for bathtubs and the like comprising a housing, a chamber formed within said housing, a water inlet connected at one end thereof to a source of water supply under pressure and at the opposite end thereof to the inner end of said chamber, a Venturi air inlet extending through said housing to the inner end of said chamber, whereby the movement of water through said chamber is speeded by a Venturi effect, a water outlet extending through a circular opening in the wall of the bathtub, said water outlet being threadedly mounted within the outer end of said chamber, said water outlet having an annular radial flange, said flange having an inner surface abutting against the inside of the bathtub wall, said housing having a flat outer end abutting against the outside of the bathtub wall, said flange having a pair of diametrically spaced circular openings extending inwardly from its outer face for use in rotating said water outlet with respect to said housing in mounting said jet on a bathtub, and a circular wrench having a pair of transversely directed pins dimensioned and spaced to fit within said openings, the periphery of said wrench having knurling formed thereon for manually rotating said wrench to rotate said water outlet when said pins are mounted in said openings, said wrench having a square opening at the center thereof, said opening being adapted to receive the square head of a tool to rotate said wrench further and bring said flange into tighter engagement with said wall.
A whirlpool jet for bathtubs and the like comprising a housing, a chamber formed within said housing, a water inlet connected at one end thereof to a source of water supply under pressure and at the opposite end thereof to the inner end of said chamber, a Venturi air inlet extending through said housing to the inner end of said chamber, whereby the movement of water through said chamber is speeded by a Venturi effect, a water outlet extending through a circular opening in the wall of the bathtub, said water outlet being threadedly mounted within the outer end of said chamber, an extension threadedly connected between said water outlet and said housing, said extension having an externally threaded inner end adapted to fit within the water outlet receiving opening in said housing and an internally threaded outer end adapted to receive said water outlet, said outer end being somewhat longer than the portion of said water outlet which fits therein so that said outer end is adapted to protrude beyond the edge of concrete poured around said extension, the protruding portion of said outer end being discardable so that the thickness of said concrete may vary without affecting the installation of said water outlet in the outer end of said extension, and an elongated nozzle threadedly mounted in said housing, said nozzle being comparable in length to said extension, the outer end of said nozzle being discardable to adapt the length of said nozzle to the length of said extension.
