Abstract

An adjustable drain conduit apparatus that is capable of draining sewage from a recreational vehicle. A flexible disposal pipe is constructed to engage the disposal fitting of a recreational vehicle at one end and to be received by a first conduit fitting at the opposite end. The first conduit fitting is coupled with a pivotally affixed hinged support leg and engaged with a rigid straight proximal drain pipe. A rigid straight distal drain pipe is telescopingly engaged with the proximal drain pipe by means of a second conduit fitting. A third conduit fitting is coupled to the free end of the distal drain pipe and is engagable with a sewer inlet port.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] None BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Field of the Present Disclosure [0003] This disclosure relates generally to fluid conduits, and more particularly to fluid conduits employed in emptying septic waste from recreational vehicles. [0004] 2. Description of Related Art [0005] Miller, U.S. Pat. No. 6,123,367 discloses a drainage system for emptying a holding tank of a vehicle includes upright telescopic members for attachment to the vehicle outlet. Ninety degree elbows are joined in a swiveled manner and are carried by the upright tubular members and are in communication with inclined telescopic tubular members terminating in communication with the inlet of a sanitary waste system. Couplings of the present system include bayonet inlets having multiple O-rings in place thereon for sealing engagement with a bayonet outlet. The upright telescopic tubular members permit positioning of the inclined tubular members at an incline to ensure optimal drainage. Additionally the u...
