English Abstract


ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

installed it will syphon out the water when the water is shut off
at the curb or main water supply is broken. The element comes on
in the empty tank and soon burns out. This fitting prevents
this.

APPLICATION FOR PATENT on ANTI-SYPHON TANK INSULATOR and HANDY
FITTINGS APPLICATOR.
CLAIMS:
1. When installed with the plastic pipe going down into the tank
[refer to (A) on enclosed drawing] the anti-syphon hole [refer to
(B) on enclosed drawing] is uncovered and syphoning stops.
2. Both hot and cold water use the same opening without loss of
volume or pressure or temperature.
3. Openings in plastic insulator make it easy to attach pressure
and temperature release valve [refer to (C) on enclosed drawing]
and other tappings can be made on block if desired.
4. Also all hot water tanks can be made with only one pipe if
this fitting is used.
5. Check valve does not solve this matter as it causes a drip or
tank can bust if pressure and temperature valve is stuck shut.
6. Enclosed are drawings of this device.

HOW I T WORKS:
Whe~ a hot water heater with a single pipe at top is installed it
will syphon out the water when the water is shut off at the curb
or main water supply is broken. The element comes on in the
empty tank and soon burns out. This fitting prevents this. When
installed with the plastic pipe going down into the tank the
anti-syphon hole is uncovered and syphoning stops. Both hot and
cold water use the same opening without loss of volume or
pressure or temperature. Openings in plastic insulator make it
easy to attach pressure and temperature release valve and other
tappings can be made on block if desired. Also all hot water
tanks can be made with only one pipe if this fitting is used.
Check valve does not solve this matter as it causes a drip or
tank can bust if pressure and temperature valve is stuck shut.
Enclosed are drawings of this device.
I hereby swear that I am the first and sole inventor o~ this
devic~e.
