Abstract: An apparatus for removing large particles from a vessel The apparatus includes a vacuum storage container and a suction hose extending from the vacuum storage container. The vacuum storage container includes a material receiving section, a grinding pump and a disposal line. The material receiving section receives the large particles from the suction hose. The grinding pump is positioned in the material receiving section for pulverizing the large particles received in the material receiving section. The disposal line extends from the grinding pump through the vacuum storage container to remove the pulverized material from the grinding pump and the vacuum storage container.

Abstract: A pipe fitting having a first end portion, a second end portion and a perforated portion extending between the first end portion and the second end portion. The perforated portion has an inner side wall and outer wall spaced from the inner side wall. A fluid receiving cavity extends between the inner side wall and the outer wall. The inner side wall defines a material flow passageway. Openings are provided in the inner side wall of the perforated portion. The openings have ends which open into the fluid receiving cavity. A port extends through the outer wall and into the fluid receiving cavity. In operation, fluid enters the port and flows through the fluid receiving cavity and through the openings into the material flow passageway to clear any material restrictions.
