Abstract
A gray water line adaptor formed from a polymeric material is useful for draining water, other than sewage from motor homes, RV's, campers and the like while maintaining required sanitation. The adaptor is placed in the sewer receptacle stub to prevent odor and bacteria escapage. The adaptor can also be coupled to a conventional sewer hose for sanitary fresh water rinsing of the sewer hose by utilizing the water hose connector positioned atop the adaptor.
Claims7
A gray water line adaptor for fluid connection to a water hose and to a sewer stub, said adaptor comprising:
- a first cylindrical section, said first cylindrical section for engagement with said sewer stub, a second cylindrical section, said second cylindrical section joined to said first cylindrical section, each section having a central axis, a water hose fitting, said water hose fitting attached to said second cylindrical section for draining gray water, said water hose fitting for connection to said water hose, said first cylindrical section having a diameter less than the diameter of said second cylindrical section, said second cylindrical section having a proximal and a distal end, said proximal end attached to said first cylindrical section, and a top, said top attached to said distal end to close said second cylindrical section, said top comprising a biased component, said biased component angularly disposed relative to the central axis of said second cylindrical section, said hose fitting attached to said biased component.
A line adaptor useful for draining gray water from a motor home, in combination with a water hose and a cylindrical sewer stub, said line adaptor comprising:
- a first cylindrical section, said first cylindrical section for insertion into said sewer stub, a second cylindrical section, said second cylindrical section attached to said first cylindrical section and in fluid communication therewith, said second cylindrical section having a diameter greater than the diameter of said first cylindrical section to form a shoulder therebetween, said shoulder for sealing engagement with a seal intermediate said shoulder and said sewer stub, a top, said top closing one end of said second cylindrical section, said top comprising a flat component and a biased component, said biased component angularly disposed relative to said flat component, a hose fitting, said hose fitting attached to said biased component to drain the gray water and in fluid communication therewith, said hose fitting for connection to said water hose.
An adaptor for rinsing a sewer hose with fresh water from a supply hose, said adaptor comprising:
- (a) a first cylindrical section, said first cylindrical section for connection to a the sewer hose;
- (b) a second cylindrical section, said second cylindrical section coaxially joined to said first cylindrical section, each section having a central axis said second cylindrical section having a diameter greater than the diameter of said first cylindrical section and forming a shoulder therebetween, said shoulder for abutment with said sewer hose, said second cylindrical section comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a top, said proximal end attached to said first cylindrical section, said top joined to said distal end to close the same, said top comprising a flat component and a biased component, said biased component angularly positioned relative to said flat component;
- and
- (c) a hose fitting, said hose fitting engaged with said biased component, said hose fitting for connection to said supply hose, said hose fitting being in fluid communication with said second cylindrical section and being angularly disposed relative to the axis of said first and said second cylindrical sections;
- whereby water from the supply hose will pass through the hose fitting, striking the walls of the sewer hose for rinsing the sewer hose.
