A catch basin trap for attachment to an opening in a side wall of a catch basin. The catch basin trap has a body with a front side for facing outside the catch basin, and a back for side facing inside the catch basin. The body defines a chamber, an inlet opening in the back side, and an outlet opening in the front side. A collapsible outlet pipe connector is attached to the outlet opening, configured to be manipulated from a collapsed configuration to an extended configuration defining a discharge end for coupling to an outlet pipe positioned outside the catch basin. The collapsed configuration stows the collapsible outlet pipe connector within the body, and the extended configuration permits watertight coupling of the discharge end to the outlet pipe. A method of installing a catch basin trap, and a method of making a concrete catch basin are also disclosed.
A catch basin trap for mounting in an opening in a side wall of a catch basin. A preferred catch basin trap has a body with a front side for facing outwardly to outside of the catch basin, and a back side for facing inwardly to inside of the catch basin. An inlet opening is provided in the back side of the body for receiving drainage water from inside of the catch basin. An outlet opening is provided in the front side of the body for discharging the drainage water to the outside of the catch basin. A flexible outlet pipe connector extends outwardly from the outlet opening, configured for watertight coupling to an outlet pipe positioned outside of the catch basin. The catch basin trap provides a water flow path for drainage water from inside of the catch basin to the outlet pipe. A preferred outlet pipe connector is adapted to facilitate installation of the catch basin trap by allowing watertight coupling to the outlet pipe at a plurality of angles and positions relative to the catch basin trap, and to accommodate angular and transpositional deviations of the outlet pipe resulting from settling of the ground after installation.

A system and method are provided for coupling a manhole cover to an underground utility box to support the manhole cover substantially flush with a ground surface such as a roadway. A holder couples to an underground utility box and includes upper and lower ends and a channel extending therebetween, and a support structure extending into the channel and defining an upwardly facing support surface. An adjustment member for coupling to a manhole cover is inserted within the channel, and includes upper and lower ends, and a passageway extending therebetween and communicating with the channel. The adjustment member is movably receivable within the channel to be seated on the support surface, and to define an adjustment space between the adjustment member and the holder. The adjustment member may thus be adjusted for accommodating a slope and elevation of a ground surface, and sealed with the holder after adjustment.

A pipe connection and pipe and fittings to make a pipe connection that include either a bell plate ring or a complementary spigot ring, which can be readily joined together by welding to form a sealed joint. In particular the bell plate ring includes a tapered, such as a conical section, that has a larger outer diameter (that is closer to the end of the pipe section or fitting) and a smaller diameter in from said end of said pipe section or fitting. In this way the present invention provides an inner bell surface which is generally continuously tapered. In turn a complementary spigot ring is provided with a welding lip having an outer diameter that is between the larger and smaller diameters of the bell plate ring. In this way, when the spigot is inserted into the bell it is first guided by the taper and then an interference fit is made between the welding lip and the bell, which ensure continuous weldable contact between the spigot and the bell. A seal protects the weldable contact from contamination before the weld is made.
F16L 19/075 - Joints in which sealing surfaces are pressed together by means of a member, e.g. a swivel nut, screwed on, or into, one of the joint parts in which radial clamping is obtained by wedging action on non-deformed pipe ends specially adapted for spigot-and-socket joints
F16L 21/035 - Joints with sleeve or socket with elastic sealing rings between pipe and sleeve or between pipe and socket, e.g. with rolling or other prefabricated profiled rings placed around the spigot end before connection
