Said waste line may be concealed back of a partition wall is composed of a series of sections 3, one end 1 or within. a utility space above therfioor, of each section being formed with a hub 4 making it accessible for, repairs, allowing to receivethe opposite end of an adjoining.

U 18 with its outer face flush with the outer Fig. 4- horizontal longitudinal section surface of said wall. I

one'or" the waste line sectional V carrier waste 20 similar to pipe Fig. 5 is a horizontal section of one of the v 55 17 is calked at one end in the hub 12 of each section 3 and a toilet ca 'rier plate 21 is formed on the other end of said pipe 20, which pipe extends through the wall 22 of utility chamber 2 opposite the wall 18, and which carrier plate 21 is countersunk in the outer surface of said wall 22 flush with said outer surface. The upper wall of the pipe 17 is provided with a vent openin 23 ad jacent the rear of carrier plate 19 and within the chamber wall 18, in which opening is secured the lower end of a vent pipe 2st which extends upwardly through said chamber wall to the atmosphere. 7

The upper wall of the pipe 20 is provided with a vent opening 25 adjacent the rear of carrier plate 21 and within the chamber wall 22, in which opening is secured the lower end of a vent pipe 26, which extends upwardly through said chamber wall to the atmosphere. The carrier plates 19 and 21 are supported by supports 27 and 28 respectively which are embedded in the chamber walls 18 and 22. Eachof the supports 27 and 28 comprises an internally threaded base member 29, and a sleeve 30, which screws at its lower end into said base memher and is internally threaded at its upper end, which ends screws onto a lug 31 depending from the rear of a carrier plate 19 or 21. Each ofthe carrier plates 19 and 21 is provided with two vertical slots 82-32 at the sides respectively of the waste pipes of said carrier plates, which plates are provided in their outer surfaces with recesses 33+3'3 about said slots res 'ne'ctively.

'Each carrier plate 19 and 21 is provided in its outer surface about its waste pipe with an annular gasket groove 34 to receive a gasket 35; Bolts 36-36 extend respectively through the slots 3282 in the carrier plates 19 and 21, the heads 3636 of which. bolts engage the rear sides of said plates, and nuts 36 36 screw on said bolts within the re cesses 333 against said carrier plates, the outer surfaces of said nuts resting flush with or within the outer surfaces of said carrier plates. 7

Toilets 37 and 38 are bolted to the outer faces of the carrier plates 19' and 21 respectively by the bolts 36 36 which extend through the base flanges 38* of said toilets, there being nuts 3939 which screw on the outer ends of said bolts against said flanges, and said toilets are provided in their rear surfaces about their outlets with annular grooves d0 in which is clamped the gasket 35 resting in the carrier grooves 35 whereby leakage between the carrier plates and the toilet is prevented.

Each of the carrier plates 19 and 21 is provided with a threaded opening 41-1 in the lower part thereof to receive a set screw -12 which extends from the utility chamber 2 through a wall 18 or 22 of said chamber and carrier waste pipe.

engages the base of a toilet 37 or 38 for ad justing the bases of said toilets inwardly or outwardly with relation to their carrier plates whereby said toilets are properly hung on said plates.

The waste line 1 may be supported by supports 13 which rest upon theflcor of the utility chamber 2 and are formed with. sud dlcs a l on their upper ends in which rest said waste line. The partitions 10 pr ent the toilets on one side of the fitting from backing into the opposite toilets on the other side of the fitting.

In the modified form of my fitting shown in Fig. 7, I provide a running thread coup ling for coupling the inner end of the carrier waste pipes 17 or 20 to the inlets 6 or 7 of the sections 8. The hubs 51 and 52 of said inlets are elongated and internally threaded with right hand threads 53. One end of a coupling sleeve 55 provided with a right hand running thread 56 screws into the threaded hub 51 or 52. and the other end of'said sleeve is provided with a left hand thread 57 which engages a like internal ihrea d 58 in a hub 59 on the inner end of a carrier waste pipe 17 or 20. A nut 60 is screwed on the thread 56. In coupling a carrier waste pipe to an inlet of a waste line section 8, the sleeve 55 with it's thread 56 is first screwed or run all the way into the hub of a waste line inlet and then screwed or run out of said hub in a reverse direction so that the other end of the sleeve with its thread 57 is screwed into thephub 59 of a The nut 60 is then screwed against the end of' the waste line hub 51 or 52. c r

The bends 61 of the carrier waste pipes 17 or 20'are of different degrees so that said' pipe. may be connected'to points of different elevations of the inclined waste line 1 while maintaining the carrier plates 19 and. 21 at a uniform elevation for the uniform elevation of the toilets 37 and 38.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: V

'1. A drainage fitting comprising a section of a drain pipe provided with two inlets at one end thereof, said inlets being arranged on opposite sides of said pipe section, at an oblique angle thereto, and a partition between said inlets, said partition eX- tending longitudinally from the inlet end to approximately the middle point of said pipe section, whereby drainage from one toilet is prevented from hacking into the other and opposite toilet. Y

2'. A drainage fitting comprising a section of drain pipe provided with two oppositely arranged inlets near one end thereof, at oblique angles thereto, the communicating duct of one inlet being offset substantially, in a longitudinal direction of said pipe sec tion from the communicating duct of the other inlet, whereby drainage from one toilet is prevented from hacking into the other and opposite toilet.

3. A drainage fitting comprising a section of drain pipe provided With an elongated bulge on one side thereof, two oppositely arranged inlets near one end of said pipe section at an oblique angle thereto, one of said inlets communicating With said elongated bulge, and a partition. between said inlets extending lo-ngutidinally of said pipe section so as to form parallel ducts in said pipe section and in the elongated bulge thereof, said partition extending beyond the communicating duct of oneot said inlets and terminating at the communicating duct of the other of said inlets sothat said communicating ducts are offset substantially from each other in a longitudinal. direction of said pipe section, whereby uniformly sized ducts are provided for both inlets and drainage from one of two toilets connected thereto isprevented from backing into the other and opposite toilet.

WILLIAM P. MOARTHUR.
