Abstract

The Giraffe connects water supplies to pipes and taps of baths and sinks, which need easy access to disconnect, reconnect or install. It has been designed with a long-neck-type vertical pipe to make connecting disconnecting and reconnecting easier. It has a locking flange a at the top with an internal thread b, an external or internal thread at the bottom, and shaped shank to tighten it when making the connection. It is hollow from top to bottom to enable water to travel easily through it. The Giraffe includes washers as seen in Figure 3.
