Branch system for secondary conduit on principal manifold - comprises cylindrical cloche with attached pipe clamped around manifold with sealing between upper part of cloche and manifold.

摘要

A cylindrical bell shaped joint (3) has an attached pipe (4) with a female fitting. A plate sealing joint (5) is located between the bell shaped member and the external surface of the manifold (1). Clamps (6) fasten the bell shaped member around the manifold. The sealing between the attached piping (4) and the manifold is on the upper part of the bell shaped member and not between the end edges of the pipe and the opening in the manifold. ADVANTAGE - Economic to make and does not require a branch saddle, sleeve or attachment projecting inside the principal manifold.
