Abstract

A pipe fitting includes an entry hub, an exit hub, and a cleanout hub. The cleanout hub is coaxially aligned with the exit hub and angularly offset from the entry hub. The pipe fitting also includes a main body that extends between the cleanout hub and the exit hub. The main body defines a main body length that is at least three times greater than the exit hub outer diameter.

Claims (6)

1. A method of installing a pipe fitting in a vertical exterior wall, comprising the steps of:

providing the pipe fitting including an entry hub that defines an entry point for fluid into the pipe fitting, an exit hub that defines an exit point for the fluid from the pipe fitting, a cleanout hub that is coaxially aligned with the exit hub and angularly offset from the entry hub, and a main body extending between the cleanout hub and the exit hub;

locating the pipe fitting such that the vertical wall is completely between the entry hub and the exit hub;

connecting the entry hub with a supply pipe; and

connecting the exit hub to a discharge pipe that extends to a sewer.

2. The method of installing the pipe fitting of claim 1 , wherein the exit hub is located to be completely exterior to the exterior vertical wall of a structure, and wherein the exterior vertical wall defines a boundary between dirt and an interior space of the structure.
