WASTE AND VENT SYSTEM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 10, 1914.

Application filed Pecembelj 17, 1912. Serial .No. 737,209.

To all whom it may concern:

the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to house systems of water distribution, and its object is to provide a new and improved waste and vent system having a plumbers fitting designed to connect the soil pipe with the vent pipe and adapted to connect with bath tubs, sinks, water closets and other fixtures to be drained and vented, the arrangement being such that the plumber can readily assemble the parts and make the desired connections, and that proper drainage and venting is insured. 'In orderto accomplish the desired result use is made of a. plumbers fitting embodying a soil'pipe member forming a portion of the soil pipe, and a vent duct or a plurality thereof extending integrally from the side of the soil pipe member, the said vent duct or duets extending upwardly and be ing provided with a lateral inlet or inlets, and the said duct or ducts having a lateral terminal and a vent pipe member forming a part of the main vent pipe and engaged by the said terminal.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a plan View of the combined soil pipe, drainage and vent fitting as applied, the soil and vent pipes and the walls of the building being shown in section; Fig.

.2 is a side elevation of the combined soil pipe, drainage and vent fitting provided with two vent ducts and a separate inlet for drainage, parts being in section; 3 is a side elevation of the combined soil pipe, drainageand vent fitting applied to a soil pipe and having a single vent duct and a with two vent ducts for water closet and bath connection and partly shown in section; and Fig. 7 is a similar view of the same and showi .the fitting with two vent ducts for connection with .a closet and sink, the upper end of the vent ducts being shown in section.

In the preferred form of my invention, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, use is made of a combined soil pipe, drainage and vent fitting having a soil pipe member A forming a portion of the soil pipe B. From one side of the soil pipe member A extend vent ducts C and D having their upper ends leading to a common terminal E extending laterally and arranged for engagement with a vent pipe member G forming part of the main vent pipe H. The terminal E is preferably threaded and screws into a correspondingly.-

threaded hub F on the vent pipe member G. The vent ducts C and D are provided intermediate their ends and at any desired height with lateral openings I and-J, of which the opening I is connected with a sink I (see Fig. 1), while the opening J is connected with a water closet J to drain the same and to provide the desired venting. The vent ducts C and D may be spaced apart but are preferably a unitary structure, as indicated in Fig. 2.

From the side of-the soil pipe member A extends a branch inlet K having a hub K adapted to be connected by a pipe K with a fixture -K which is vented to a hub L formed on the main vent pipe member G.'

For the purpose described'useis made of a pipe N (see. Fig. 1) from which leads a branchpi e N to the fixture K and, if desired, ot er fixtures, for instance, a bath tub 0, may be connected by a pipe 0 with the pipe K for drainage purposes, and by a branch pi e O with the pipe N. Other fixtures, sucii as a bath tub P and a water closet Q, may be connected with a second combined soil pipe drainage and vent fittin r arranged on a second soil pipe B, the sai second fitting having on its vent ducts G and D a common terminal E connected by a pipe R with the pipe N, it being understood that the bath tub P connects by a pipe P with the lateral opening I of the second fitting, and the water closet Q, connected with the lateral opening J of this second fitting by a pipe Q. By the arrange ment described a. single vent pipe H can be used for properly venting a large number of fixtures which drain into the soil pipes B and B.

In the modified form shown in Fig. 3,

drained, the same as above described in ref-.

erence to the drainage inlet K and its hub K.

In the modified form shown in Fig. 4, the soil pipe member A forms a portion of the soil pipe I? and is provided with integral vent ducts G, D and S,'all leading to an integral lateral terminal E arranged for connection with the vent pipe member G. The vent duct 0' is provided with a lateral opening I for connection with a sink, the duct D is Provided with a lateral opening J 3 for connection with a water closet, and the vent duct S is provided with a lateral opening S for connection with a bath tub or similar fixture.

In the simplest form of my invention as shown in Fig. 5, the soil pipe member A 'forms part of the soil pipe B and is provided at one side with an integral upwardlyextending vent duct D the lateral terminal E of which is adapted to connect with the vent ipe member G. The vent duct D is provided with a lateral opening J for connection with the water closet.

In the modified form shown in Fig. 6, the soil pipe member A formspart of the main soil ipe B and from the said member A exten s the vent ducts 1)* and S leading to a common terminal E arranged for connection with the vent pipe member G. The duct 1) is provided with a lateral opening J for connection with a water closet, and the lateral opening S in the duct S is arranged for connection with a bath tub.

In the modified form shown in Fig. 7 thev soil pipe member A forms part of the soil pipe B and is provided with vent ducts (l and D havin a common terminal E for connection wit the vent pipe member G. The vent duct pipe 0 is provided with a lateral opening I for connection with a sink, and the vent duct D is provided with a lateral opening J 8 for connection with a water closet.

It is understood that by the arrangement described the lateral openings in the vent ducts may be at one side or the other according to the location of the fixtures to be drained and vented.

masses It will further be noticed that the lateral openings may be at any point in the height of the vent ducts but are separate from the soil pipe member.

The fitting shown and described can be cheaply manufactured and arranged to suit existing conditions, and serves to enable the plumber to readily make the proper connection with the fixture to be drained and rented.
