Abstract: A pipe connector comprises a first connection, a second connection and a third connection. Longitudinal axes of the connections are located substantially in a first plane. The first connection and the second connection are arranged on a common side in relation to a second plane, wherein the second plane is aligned perpendicular to the first plane and runs through the longitudinal axis of the third connection. The first connection and the second connection are linked by means of a U-shaped pipe section, wherein an elongated pipe section has the third connection being formed out from the U-shaped pipe section. The first connection and the second connection are spaced from one another in such a manner that the first connection and the second connection are accessible for connection of pipe lines by means of a tool, in particular a pressing tool.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a wash tub enclosing an interior and a clean water feed line which passes through a port of the wash tub into the interior. The feed line has a line end leading from outside to the wash tub. An inlet bolt can be fastened from the interior to the line end and has an axial bore to extend the feed line. The axial bore leads into a plurality of inlet openings which are distributed over a circumference on a circumferential surface of the inlet bolt projecting into the interior. The inlet bolt has an end which faces the interior and is implemented as a cover to protect the axial bore from ingress of splash water.

Abstract: In a multi-ducted sink fitting assembly, a waste water connection to an assembly comprises a reverse osmosis waste water upright duct associated with the fitting; a dish water upright duct associated with the fitting to flow unclean dish water upwardly; and a discharge duct extending downwardly and associated with the fitting to receive flow from both the reverse osmosis waste water duct and the dish water duct.

Abstract: An aircraft drain device (14) for interposition between a potable water line (e.g., the drain line from an ice drawer) and a gray water line leading to a drainmast or other external drain. The drain device (14) includes a housing (30), an inlet (36) adapted for connection to the potable water line, an outlet (38) adapted for connection to the gray water line, and a piston (40). The preferably floatable piston (40) is movable between a normal operation position, whereat potable water can flow to the drainmast, and a back-up operation position, whereat the potable water is protected from contact with the gray water. The drain device (14) can be constructed to prevent spillage (or leakage) during back-up operation.

Abstract: A dual inlet air gap having an air gap body comprising a pair of inlet ports having substantially the same size, rate of flow, and pressure drop to accept waste water flow from a pair of waste water sources for emptying into a single outlet port located between the pair of waste water sources.

Abstract: A modified or retrofitted air gap body to vent the waste water discharge from a source such as a household dishwasher in such a manner that it also vents the waste water discharge from a reverse osmosis system.

Abstract: A water inlet assembly for mounting adjacent an opening provided in a tub of an automatic dishwasher wherein the tub defines a cavity having a volume for washing dishes. The water inlet assembly includes a housing forming a venting chamber and having an outlet opening mounted in sealed relationship about the opening provided in the tub. The venting chamber has a vent opening which may be located above the outlet opening. The housing further includes an inlet nozzle for receiving wash liquid and a conduit for guiding liquid from the inlet nozzle to the venting chamber from which wash liquid can flow through the outlet opening into the tub. A water trap is formed into the housing and is located along the conduit. The conduit has a siphon opening located upstream of the water trap.

Abstract: A vacuum breaker having inlet port arrangements for accepting either a single input flow or multiple input flows, and adapted to vent multiple input flow substantially independently of one another, and further adapted for mounting within the open upper ends of waste standpipes of different diameters.
