Abstract: The invention relates to a pipe fitting A, B, C with flange connection for joining at least two pipe ends angled with respect to each other, suitable for the installation of a pipe system of desired configuration with branchings and/or elbows. The pipe system to be installed has to have the capacity to be installed in the smallest possible space and with the most sharp and twisted bends in any desired direction. According to the invention this problem is solved by molding an annular rim flange (3, 4, 14, 15, 16) extending over the surface of the fitting to at least one of the connection openings (1, 2, 11, 12, 13) angled towards each other by at least 45.degree. of the arch-shaped fitting (A, C) and by the fact that the flange projection and the inner curvature of the pipe fitting (A, C) are mutually coordinated in such a way as to barely allow the positioning on the flange of a clamping collar (F) by means of which the rim flange is directly pressable against a counterflange.

Abstract: A drain fitting has a vessel formed with a laterally open housing outlet, at least one inlet, and an internal seat at the outlet. A pump is provided in the vessel and has a pump housing secured to the seat and having a pump output extending into the outlet and a pump intake, an impeller displaceable to move liquid through the housing from the intake to the output, and a motor in the housing driving the impeller. A check valve is provided in the pump output for preventing liquid flow back into the pump housing as well as means releasably securing the pump on the seat in the vessel. The pump housing is substantially closed and has its intake substantially lower than its output so that it acts as a gas trap.

Abstract: A drain trap has a housing in the form of a four-sided outer vessel with a closed bottom and with a lateral outlet extending from one of its sides, this housing receiving an insert which forms a closed-bottom inner vessel of downwardly converging frustopyramidal shape spacedly surrounded on three sides by a skirt depending from the top of the insert and defining with three apertured walls of the inner vessel a downwardly open chamber communicating with a space beneath that vessel. The fourth side of the inner vessel is solid and spacedly confronts a partition which rises from the bottom of the outer vessel and has an overflow edge across which incoming liquid from the aforementioned chamber may reach the lateral outlet.

Abstract: A trap-type drain fitting is comprised of a base, an intermediate part, and an insert. The base has a lateral outlet connection and an outer wall having a base rim and an inner wall spaced radially inwardly from this outer wall. The intermediate part has an outer part edge complementarily interfitting with the base rim and with a part rim above and within the outer edge. This intermediate part also has a laterally extending inlet connection that can be positioned at any angle relative to the outlet connection of the base, and the inlet connection is connected to a downwardly extending inlet tube that opens at the bottom of the well formed by the inner wall of the base. Finally the insert sits on the part rim and has a downwardly extending tube that opens above the bottom of the well, so as to form a gas trap and a separate inlet for the fixture.

Abstract: A cleanout fitting has a tubular body adapted to be connected between a pair of conduits and having an upwardly open well defined between the upstream and downstream end of the body. This tubular body is formed internally with a downward upstream step and a downward downstream step. At its upstream step the body is also formed with a downwardly U-shaped abutment forming a downstream-facing upstream insert seat. At its downstream step the body has a plurality of ridges defining an upwardly open U-shaped seat. Inserts, normally check valves, have rings receivable in these seats and each have a valve flap engageable with the respective ring. A cover is sealingly engageable over the well, and also serves to hold at least the downstream insert in place in the respective seat.

Abstract: A trap to be installed in a wall leading to a drain comprises an assembly of interfitted modular units, molded or deep-drawn from corrosion-resistant synthetic resin, which include an upwardly open housing of rectangular outline, a conduit with a bottom inlet and a lateral outlet removably inserted in that housing, a catch basket receivable in the housing alongside the conduit, a lid for the housing, and a possible extension interposable between the housing and its lid. The inserted conduit may be provided with an externally manipulable shut-off valve between its inlet and outlet, and/or with a hinged flap serving as a check valve; alternatively, it may have an internal tongue designed to raise its liquid level for a more effective stopping of the escape of sewer gases. One or more extensions may be secured to the housing with the aid of external clamps engaging outer peripheral flanges thereof.

Abstract: A trap for a drain has a housing with a sidewall forming a lateral exit port above its bottom. A tubular insert fitted to that sidewall forms a conduit with a bottom inlet beneath the level of the exit port and a side outlet registering with this port. The outlet is framed, along about a lower third of its periphery, by a generally spoon- or trough-shaped tongue extending inwardly therefrom while rising toward but terminating short of the horizontal midplane of the outlet; a ring-segmental clearance remaining between this tongue and the peripheral conduit wall has a cross-sectional area equal to or slightly larger than that of the outlet.

Abstract: A trap for a drain has a housing with a lateral exit port for water flowing in through an apertured lid and/or through a lateral entrance port. A tubular insert fitted to the sidewall with the exit port has a bottom inlet beneath the level of that port and a side outlet provided with a check valve in the form of a hinged flap swinging outwardly into the exit port. In one embodiment, the flap comes to rest on the broad end of a frustoconical shutter rotatably seated in the upper end of the insert which is separated by a correspondingly curved partition from the lower end; the shutter and the partition have apertures which normally register with each other but can be disaligned by a rotation of the shutter about a horizontal axis with the aid of a handle secured to it inside the housing and accessible upon removal of the lid.
