Abstract:
An air conditioner water pan drain line and clean-out system for allowing a user to safely and conveniently gain access to an internal pipe passageway for cleaning and maintenance of the passageway comprising, in combination:a clean-out body fabricated of rigid material and having a round tubular hollow cylindrical configuration with an upper end and a lower end and a circumferential side wall there between with the lower end having an end piece continuous with the side wall and closing off the lower end thereby forming an internal recess within the body, with the body having an opening at the upper end with an internal female thread, with the body also having two protruding round, tubular, horizontal, hollow cylindrical passageways in axial alignment into and out of the body to allow the ingress and egress of fluid into and out of the body of the clean-out body; a top cap fabricated of rigid material and having a generally round, disk-like configuration with an upper side and a lower side and a circumferential edge there between with the upper side being flat and the lower side having a male thread sized to be received by and firmly held by the female thread of the body to allow the closing off and sealing of the body with the cap; a connecting pipe horizontally disposed and fabricated of rigid material with a first end sized to be press fit and coupled over with and securely held onto one of the protruding round, tubular hollow cylindrical passageways and with a second end with male threads; a fluid container positionable beneath an air conditioner for collecting water generated by an air conditioner, the container having a vertical side wall and having a threaded aperture sized to be securely coupled with the male threads of the connecting pipe and thereby forming a continuous passageway for fluid from the container to pass through the body of the clean-out; and a tablet positioned in the internal recess with a cylindrical configuration having a diameter less than the top cap.
